Our Greatest Instrument Yet. Announcing PercX! (Standalone/VST/AU/AAX)

[richardt4520]

I only bought the core kits because when listening to the expansions I could not keep them apart: everything sounded the same.

There does appear to be a lot of crossover between some of the kits but the sounds are different. So there are definitely drier sounds for similar instruments in some of the kits that aren't there in the others. That's why I invested in the Pro version. There are a lot of kits so i don't seem to have much trouble finding something in one of the kits that will work for a track. There aren't many that are completely dead dry, though. Since this thing appears more geared toward loops, I think they figured, most people would want sounds that are already processed to work quickly with. That's actually been a time saver for me since otherwise, I'm going to have to pull up Neutron and start playing around with reverbs on a track instead of just knocking something out quickly.

The perfect tool would provide both -- quick and dirty when you need it and a starting point for deep editing when you have time and need the best possible result. In this case, I think they could release dry (or drier) alternative versions of some of the kits.

And they have promised that there will be more expansion packs in the future, which gives them an opportunity to cover more genres and styles.

With the new Kit generator you can set the DRY attribute for all tracks, then it will just create KITS out of the dry material.

Good news!

Oh I agree! It's always good to have options but the cool thing is, they could create a kit or kits just for that as well that you could add. This has the potential to become an extremely powerful tool. I'm happy with what I have, but it makes me think what's possible with it.

It's already replaced my other libraries for percussion beds. I still find places for some of my other non-loop percussion libraries to add to it, but I'm finding, the loops are complex enough in PercX that I find myself muting parts instead of adding to them. That is a GREAT thing!

Is there a way to save grooves and presets? I was debating about building some new grooves for the show I work on, and figured why not share with everyone. Just not sure how to go about doing that.

You can click on the long black bar on the top and select Browse to open a Preset Browser window to save and organise your own presets. (Add Bank > Add User Preset)

If you want to share a preset, this is also quite simple. By clicking on the same topbar you can choose Export and save the preset to your clipboard. The preset is compressed into a string that can be easily shared online, or sent via mail. You can also post this on a forum . Right next to Export is an Import button to import the snippet into PercX.

Sometimes it may be the case that you don't have the instrument that you need to open the preset. In this case the instrument is omitted upon loading the preset. For quick pasting into a forum the snippet-string is auto-formatted with three ticks ``` for a markdown context. Here in VI (CODE) tags work best. g,d

Genius!

Is 1.0.0 of PercX still the most current version? I can't find a support or my-account link on Auddict's site. Is there a way to check if I'm using the current version?

 

[NekujaK]

Click the elipses (...) at the top right, then click the gear icon. The Settings window will open and it contains the version number. Current version, according to my installation is 1.1.0 Build 12462

Mine's 1.0.0. Where do I get the update? The Store tab doesn't show anything downloadable. Thx!

You can log into the Account: https://account.auddict.com/login/ and download PercX1.1.0 from there.

Awesome. Thanks! Weird there's no link on the main site. I'll need to employ an old fashioned bookmark

 

[NekujaK]

What's even weirder is that Auddict never sent out an email blast to their users announcing the update (at least I didn't get one). I feel sorry for owners of PercX who don't frequent forums or think to click the Store menu.

 

[danwool]

Anyone know if there's anything new in this version, or is it just bug fixes (not that I noticed any)? The one improvement I was hoping for (CC7 assigned to instruments or main-volume by default or the ability to assign a controller to the main-volume) is not there.

The Store doesn't even show the update. It can only be accessed via account link.

I think the kit generator is a new feature, and it's really fun to play with.

Oh, my. That is a very cool new feature! I'm sure glad I asked about the update!

Is there a way to trigger the loops back to the beginning each time I play the key of that loop? If not it would be nice to have it

Isn't that the default behavior? When I press a key the loop starts at the beginning. If I release and press again, it starts at the beginning again. Maybe there's a setting that determines this behavior, but I haven't found one

I would want to reset the start of only one loop, with all the others playing. I know that I can achieve this with two instances of PercX, but it would be cool to have everything in the same one
