0:00Hey everyone. Uh, finally the beta
0:02version of 2.3 is out. Uh, so this is
0:05going to be a long video because I'm
0:07going to be covering lots of new
0:08features and details and changes. Uh,
0:12but you don't have to watch the whole
0:13video from beginning to end. Uh, I'm
0:16going to be marking each section for
0:18each new feature in the description of
0:20the video. But please uh watch the first
0:23introductory part because I'm going to
0:24be telling some important stuff about
0:26the beta and my road map uh through the
0:29beta periods and what I'm expecting you
0:32to do as beta testers. So uh this is a
0:35beta version. So never forget that you
0:38will have issues. There will be things
0:41that doesn't work that it used to be.
0:43Even if I have been testing this version
0:45for almost a year now and been using it
0:48in my live gigs, I keep improving it and
0:50make changes in it, it's not tested
0:53enough. So there will be issues. Uh I
0:56will be working on these issues as you
0:58report them to me with your crash
1:00reports and bug fixes and I'll regularly
1:03update this beta version maybe uh twice
1:06a month uh during this beta period which
1:09I'm hoping will finish by the end of
1:13November. I'm planning to release the
1:14actual version around Black Friday.
1:18Uh so yeah during these periods I'll
1:20also be working on the web page uh which
1:23I've been skipping for almost two years
1:26now and also I'll complete the manual
1:29during this period. So yeah, as I said,
1:33please make do not use this during your
1:36live gigs at least for the first month
1:39because that will the testing is need to
1:42be done. That's that's the point of
1:43releasing this version as beta and so
1:48you can use it in your rehearsals at
1:49your home and as beta testers I'm not
1:52expecting you to follow a specific
1:54procedure. Just use it regularly the way
1:57you use the old version. create new
1:59songs, adapt your new songs to the new
2:02version with the new features and you
2:05know test it during your rehearsals at
2:07your home and send me crash reports. So
2:11uh the system has two crash report
2:13system. Uh the keystage is using two
2:16crash report system. One Apple's default
2:18crash report system and there is another
2:21one that I added by Firebase crash
2:24litics. So when the app crashes, Apple's
2:28crash report system will prompt you with
2:31a message uh asking you for the details
2:34about the crash and and so on so forth.
2:37But so you can you use the Apple crash
2:40report system, but uh those of you who
2:42were also better testers for the
2:44previous version can remember that the
2:46Apple system have some issues. Uh it
2:49wasn't pointing me in the right
2:51direction of the crash. So it was even
2:55causing some more confusion about where
2:57how I should approach with resolving the
3:00crash. That's why I actually added the
3:02new crash report system. The new crash
3:04report system works automatically. But
3:07the thing is these crash report system
3:09both of them uh send the crash reports
3:12to the server as long as your iPad is
3:15connected to the internet. So as far as
3:17I know even if iPod is not connected to
3:19the internet when the crash happens it
3:22sends the report the second time you
3:25start key stage but you should be uh
3:28connected to the internet at that point
3:31and if it's not connected to the
3:32internet at that point I think it omits
3:34it for the next time you uh start key
3:37state but at some point you need to have
3:39internet for that crash port to go into
3:42the server. So I I suggest that you use
3:46uh the beta version uh with internet on
3:49so that the crash report system just
3:51goes without any issues.
3:54Also while submitting crash reports or
3:57sending me messages about some other
4:00issues not not necessarily crashes but
4:03there might be some other issues that
4:05are not working properly since there
4:07have been so many changes in the course
4:09structure. But while sending me those
4:11messages or crash reports, please
4:14include your keystage ID. Now keystage
4:16ID is no longer on on this bottom bar, I
4:19moved things around a bit. Uh so it's
4:22actually here now.
4:24Uh here you see let's scroll down.
4:28Here's the keystage ID. So,
4:31uh, every time you send me a message
4:33either through the crash report system
4:34or direct message either through
4:37messenger or email
4:39or even if you're asking for a new
4:41feature, uh, please send me your
4:43keystage ID because that helps me track
4:46your crashes and your the issues that
4:48you're having through the crash litics
4:50crash system. Uh, speaking of new
4:53features, so there are lots of new
4:56features in this version. uh but you
4:59have been sending me a lot of feature
5:02requests throughout the whole period of
5:04key stage actually and I'm thankful for
5:06that without your feature request your
5:09suggestions the key stage wouldn't be at
5:11this stage but uh since there are so
5:14many of them I try to keep track of them
5:17keep keep a list of them uh I may have
5:20skipped some of them in this version
5:23because of either it's a big feature
5:26that I wasn't able to include in this
5:28version or I may have just skipped it
5:32because I was struggling with other
5:34issues related to the new version. So
5:37there might be some issue down versions
5:39that I may have promised you to add to
5:42this version but I may have forgotten it
5:44and I'm so sorry for that. And if that's
5:46the case, please remind me about that.
5:48And if it's not a big feature, if it
5:51won't take me long to include it, I'll
5:54try to include it during this beta
5:55period. and add it to version 2.3 but
6:00otherwise I may have to postpone it for
6:02a future big version. So let's start
6:06with how you can migrate your songs for
6:09your projects from your old previous
6:11version of keystage. So let's close
6:15this.
6:17Uh this is the previous version. So you
6:20already most of you already know how to
6:22create full backup files uh by clicking
6:24this button and following the uh
6:26prompts. So I already created one here.
6:30So all you need to do is just
6:34uh export it
6:36share it into the beta.
6:39You can also share single files. you can
6:42share your global properties but this is
6:44the most convenient way of sharing uh
6:48your project into the new beta. Now the
6:52thing is once you restore this version,
6:56let me restore it and I'll explain
6:59during the restoration. Once you restore
7:01this version and start opening the song
7:03files, the song files will be migrated.
7:06There will be migration functions
7:08converting the new the song file
7:11adopting the new version. And once that
7:14happens, by the way, don't forget to
7:15close the original original version.
7:17Don't don't run two versions on
7:19simultaneously on your iPad. Once that
7:22happens, once these song files are
7:25transformed, uh you won't be able to
7:27open them back in in all the older
7:29version. If you're not going to be using
7:32your beta during your live rehearsals,
7:35don't forget the fact that the changes
7:37that you make here won't work in in the
7:40older version. So, it's these are not
7:41backward compatible. The other thing is
7:45uh Dropbox is disabled on beta uh
7:48because in the previous beta runs we had
7:51some issues uh when two different
7:54versions of key state running on the
7:57same iPad have access to the same
7:59Dropbox client. We you start to have
8:02issues. That's why I I decided to
8:04disable this version uh Dropbox in the
8:07in the beta version. Of course, it's
8:09going to be reenabled when the actual
8:10version releases.
8:12So yeah uh so we'll start talking about
8:15the new versions starting with the layer
8:17structure. Okay before I start talking
8:20about uh new features I want to talk
8:22about uh and reader. Unfortunately I had
8:27to disable and reader for in this first
8:29beta version because it was causing me a
8:31lot of problems. uh for some reason I
8:34still couldn't find out figure out the
8:36problem but with with the core
8:38structural changes probably there's some
8:41uh conflict with the undero operation so
8:43it was causing a lot of crashes so until
8:46I figure out and solve that problem I
8:48have to disable
8:51okay so let's talk about layers the
8:53first big feature that I've been talking
8:56about for almost a year now so what what
8:58are layers so layers is basically a
9:01third dimension
9:02in our uh user interface. So here's what
9:06I mean. So I created a a simple song
9:09file here
9:11with uh three different instruments.
9:15Here I typed layers and you can see this
9:18is a view very similar to the set list
9:20view and every song starts with a single
9:24layer uh including the ones that you
9:26import from from your old key stage.
9:29Okay, let's create a new layer. So to do
9:32that, let's I tap edit here. And now I
9:34am in layer edit mode. So all the
9:37background just grays out. So I can only
9:39edit layers. And here is a plus sign
9:42that I can add new layers. So let's add
9:45these three new layers. And while in
9:48edit mode, I can tap on the layer to
9:50edit it. Here is the new layer uh
9:54control surface, the layer console. But
9:57I'm just going to skip that now. I'm
9:59just going to talk about what happens
10:01when I add new layers. You realize that
10:05the tracks didn't change.
10:08Uh we have all the layers use the same
10:10tracks. It basically adds a new layer of
10:14sections and parts using the same set of
10:16tracks. So here, let's say on this
10:19layer, I create a part and section here.
10:25And let's create this two.
10:32Uh, normally when you create a new
10:34layer, it just doesn't have any sections
10:36or parts. But now we just have
10:42something like three different song
10:43files using the same set of tracks. And
10:45if I, for example, I create a new track
10:48here, this is actually edits to all
10:51layers. They use the same tracks. Well,
10:55there are things that also changes in
10:57tracks between layers, but I'm going to
10:59come to that later. But this is the
11:01basic structure. And ch switching
11:03between layers is instantaneous like
11:05switching sections. The moment I switch
11:08to a new layer and uh the notebook
11:12keying system still works when changing
11:14between layers. So for example, I press
11:17and hold the note. As as you know, when
11:19I change to this section,
11:24the the original sound keeps sounding as
11:27long as I keep the note pressed. And the
11:29same thing happens
11:33actually
11:41when when I'm changing layers. So if you
11:44think about layers as song files, you
11:48can now instantaneously switch between
11:50them by by changing by using these this
11:55list. And of course, there will be many
11:57other ways to switch between layers that
11:59I'm going to talk about soon.
12:02Uh let's add a couple of more layers
12:04here.
12:09Uh here you can expand and construct and
12:12whenever so whenever you put all the way
12:15down
12:16it actually scrolls red and lights right
12:19if it's only a single row but if it's
12:21multiple rows
12:24uh let me actually change the dimensions
12:27here. So you the horizontal division you
12:29can change this. For example, you can
12:31work it like that. Only three layers per
12:34row. And now this scrolls up and down.
12:39If it's all the way bottom, it scrolls
12:41left and right. So you can use the way
12:44you want. And you can close it here and
12:47open it. And the block height is the
12:50height of each layer. So this is a nice
12:54organizational
12:55stuff we talk about. Okay. So let's
12:59continue how we can organize our songs
13:03into different layers. So you can create
13:05layers. You can add sections, parts and
13:08tracks on those layers one by one. But
13:12of course you you need to do more than
13:14that. So to demonstrate I'm going to
13:17open a song file.
13:19Uh let's open
13:22this. This is quite a big song file.
13:24Living spectral heaven
13:27with lots of tracks and parts.
13:30Now, as I said, all songs start with a
13:33single layer. Let's just make it like
13:37that. So, let's create a second layer.
13:40Now, suppose I want to move some of
13:42these sections to the second layer. Uh,
13:45let's say this keyboard solo part. All I
13:48need to do is I just hold, grab and hold
13:52and move here and release it.
13:55And let's do it for the second keyboard
13:57solo part as well. And after I move to
14:00the second section. Oh, we have
14:04I'm going to delete this
14:07causing feedback.
14:09So now you see these two keyboard parts
14:11are moved here. So you can easily move
14:13these
14:17sections like that to other layers and
14:19within the layer you can again reorder
14:21them. And the same thing works for
14:23copying. If you press and hold with two
14:26fingers and release it here, a copy of
14:29it now is moved to this. Now
14:34if when whenever you move a section and
14:37release it on a layer, it adds to the
14:39end of that layer. But if you want to
14:42actually squeeze that section into two
14:45sections within that layer, what you
14:47need to do is you tap and hold either
14:50with one finger or two fingers whether
14:52you want to copy or it or not. You wait
14:56here it blinks and now it activates that
14:58layer and now I can squeeze it into
15:01anywhere I want. So let's just do the
15:03opposite way around. I want to move
15:04here.
15:06Wait a bit and then it activates that
15:09layer and just move it like that. And
15:12you can do the same thing with parts.
15:15The parts doesn't work uh when you just
15:18uh put it and release on the layer
15:20instantly because Tage doesn't know
15:22where to edit. You need to go into that
15:24layer to do that. So you just grab a
15:27part, wait a bit, goes into that layer
15:30and then release it wherever you want.
15:33Okay. What else? Huh? Okay. Uh, let's go
15:36into this edit mode.
15:39Let's add two more layers here. So,
15:42while we're in edit mode, we can still
15:45switch between layers. And you can see
15:47now we're in the layer editor.
15:51You can name your layers. So, I'm just
15:55giving a random name, anything. And you
15:58can change the color of your layers just
15:59like you change the color of your, you
16:02know, other items.
16:04And you can add custom translators
16:06layers. Now
16:08just add something random. As you know,
16:10you can add custom translators to
16:12several things including the song
16:15itself, song translators. And now you
16:17can add custom translators to layers.
16:20And the order of in which these custom
16:22translators apply is now controlled
16:25here. As you know now there is layer
16:28added here. Uh okay back to editing um
16:33uh about this dynamic transpose dynamic
16:36layer board. I'm going to talk about
16:37them later. Uh let's expand this. So uh
16:41just like tracks parts and sections you
16:44can move around layers. Just tap and
16:46hold change the order.
16:50Or you can let's say this first part is
16:54create a copy. You can hold and with two
16:56fingers release
16:59and now we have two copies of that. So
17:01all those basic operations on tracks and
17:03parts and sections also apply to layers
17:06like that and you can delete them. One
17:09thing do you realize is on on all these
17:13parts sections and tracks there there
17:15used to be a trash can icon here. Now
17:18there is a settings icon and which opens
17:20up a new menu which brings up our next
17:23big new feature but I am skipping that
17:27right now. There is this delete button
17:29which allows you to delete any of these
17:31objects and the same thing happens for
17:34uh layers. So there was this first part
17:37here.
17:39So let's delete this layer.
17:42So you open up a song file. You can
17:45create layers. You can copy your tracks
17:47parts uh the sections and parts into
17:50different layers like the the way I
17:53showed you or you can copy your layers.
17:56But there is another new feature, neat
17:58feature here. If you go to files and
18:02just go to a song, we now have a new
18:05option here, add as a new layer.
18:09And you simply add that song as a new
18:13layer to your existing song. So it's as
18:16simple as that. I want to show you one
18:18more thing before I go into the uh
18:22dynamic properties which is the advanced
18:24stuff about layers. Now let me create a
18:27new set list here. Now when I select the
18:30set list there is a new option here uh
18:32create layered song. And the moment I
18:37tap that, I have a single song where
18:41each layer
18:43is is the song files in that set list.
18:47So you can take your set list and turn
18:49them into layered songs by just clicking
18:53a single button. Okay. Uh now let's talk
18:57about some advanced stuff. Now when I
19:01introduce new features to key stage like
19:04this layer structure especially some big
19:06new features which changes the overall
19:08structure of key stage I need to also
19:12introduce new options for uh for users
19:16to to customize their setup uh based for
19:19for that new feature and so more
19:22features means more new options and more
19:25complexity of course but always keep
19:27this in mind for most users you don't
19:29even need to delve into those advanced
19:31options because it just works. Like for
19:34example, in this case, you just tap on
19:37the set list, merge the songs and the
19:39songs just merge and
19:42you just create layers and just work
19:45with it and it just works. But for some
19:47of you, some features may not work the
19:50way that you intended to work and you
19:53just need to make some customizations
19:56for for your own setup and then just you
19:58forget about it. So okay, dynamic
20:01properties is one of those options. So
20:03with the addition of layers, so if you
20:05remember what dynamic properties are,
20:06what what what I mean by dynamic
20:08properties is properties of tracks,
20:12parts, sections or anything basically
20:16which change whether that property
20:18changes between sections or not. So
20:20remember so the the most basic example
20:23is
20:25uh dynamic full states between sections.
20:27When this is on, we have the full state
20:30option. So we can change the full states
20:32between parts. But if this is off, we
20:36don't have that option anymore. So a
20:38single full state is assigned to this
20:40track and it never changes from section
20:43to section. So that's what I mean by
20:44diamond properties. Now we have another
20:47dimension added layers. So now we we now
20:50have to consider whether those
20:52properties whether they should change
20:54when we're switching layers. So that
20:56adds another complexity. But the default
20:59options will most probably work for most
21:02of you. But now I'm going into the
21:04details of that. So when I go to song
21:07properties here,
21:09we have the dynamic properties tab here.
21:12And this used to look different in in in
21:15the previous version. This looks
21:16different and I'll explain why. Right
21:20now the dynamic properties and there's
21:22this additional part between layers. So
21:24these are the dynamic properties whether
21:28a property should be dynamic when we
21:30change layers. I'm not going to go over
21:33all these options here but I'm going to
21:35talk about dynamic layer volume. This is
21:37one of the important ones. So when I
21:41toggle this on what happens is the
21:43following. If I go to song mixer let's
21:46close this layers now. Now we have
21:49another channel strip here layer volume.
21:53And now we can change
22:03between layers. So you can change the
22:05volume and you don't need to change the
22:07uh song volume. Now the song volume is
22:09independent from the lay layer volume.
22:12And the moment you disable this option,
22:16it just goes away. Oh, okay. Here is
22:19another feature. I'm recording this in
22:22my room where there's no air
22:24conditioning. And since I've been using
22:25this for quite a long time, this is a
22:28new feature that shows you whether your
22:31iPad is heating. The internal iPad
22:34system basically notifies key stage that
22:36the temperature is now. I mean, maybe I
22:39should change this from series to
22:41something else. It's not because this
22:44kind of appears a lot, but it's working
22:46fine. But if it goes too hot, the this
22:50turns into red. Uh the system doesn't
22:53give provide the temperature
22:55information, but it just provides four
22:58different uh states whether the iPad
23:02temperature is cool, it's okay, it's
23:05warm, and it's too hot. This is the warm
23:08state. And when I touch my iPad, it's
23:10Yeah, the CPU part is kind of warm, but
23:14it's not too hot. Maybe I maybe I'll
23:16just let Keystage warn you when it's too
23:19hot. I'm not sure. Okay, let's go back
23:21to uh the layers the layer volume. So
23:26yeah, layer volume is an independent
23:28volume and when I disable it, it just
23:30doesn't change the volume
23:33in this video and it disappears. Okay,
23:36so this is how you change volumes of
23:39layers. But remember there was also a
23:42section volume and actually it was here
23:45dynamic properties change activate
23:48whether section volume or not but it's
23:49no longer here because now
23:53it's here. So each layer has its own
23:57dynamic properties for sections. whether
24:00the the sections should have volume
24:02different volumes or not uh is actually
24:06assigned here in the in the layer. So
24:10when I activate this
24:13so it's now activated for this
24:14deliverance song but for this song it's
24:17not activated. So if I go here in the
24:20burden and start tapping on sections,
24:23dynamic section volume is disabled on on
24:25these
24:27and when I go into song mixer, it's just
24:30the song volume. But if I activate
24:32deliverance, go into song mixer, now we
24:34have section volume. So the behavior of
24:37section volume is the same as the
24:39behavior of layer volume and it's
24:41different from uh the previous version.
24:43The section volume doesn't change the
24:44song volume anymore. It's just an
24:46independent slider. When you double tap
24:48it, it's basically zero dB, which means
24:51that
24:53uh if I close this layers here, it's
24:55zero dB here, which means it has no
24:58effect. It doesn't change.
25:01But I can change the section volume
25:03between sections now. and without really
25:05altering the song volume or even if I
25:09have layer volume here. Now
25:12we have all three sliders section volume
25:15layer volume and master volume which is
25:16the song volume here. Yeah, I realized
25:19that this is pretty annoying. Maybe I
25:21should remove this. I'm not sure. We'll
25:23see. If you go back here and look at the
25:26other dynamic properties
25:29uh for example dynamic active dynamic
25:31lyrics dynamic med all these dynamic
25:33properties related to dynamic live
25:35console whether they change should
25:38change between layers
25:40uh is controlled here and within each
25:44layer we have the same options whether
25:47each section whether these options
25:49should change within each section. Of
25:51course, this overrides the other one.
25:54So, here's what I mean. So, suppose we
25:57disabled active units changing on
25:59layers.
26:01And on this layer, um, this is also
26:05disabled for sections, but on this
26:07layer, it's enabled. And let's also
26:10disable this for this layer. For the
26:11third layer, let's disable that.
26:16So, on these two layers, the active
26:18units are disabled for sections. And on
26:20general the active unit dynamic active
26:22unit is disabled between layers. So this
26:24means
26:27uh let's close the global panel. Suppose
26:31I change my active unit to info within
26:34this layer. Even if I change the active
26:37units, it just stays. It doesn't it's
26:40not stored on the section. It's just uh
26:44constant throughout the layer.
26:48And so for example, I'm at the media
26:49unit right now. I go to the third layer
26:52and since the active unit is not enabled
26:55here for sections as well, we're still
26:58not changing.
27:00So now I'm on XY. But now on burden, so
27:04let's say on the first section it's
27:06lyrics. On the second section it's info.
27:08It's already stored info.
27:11On the third it's piano. So on this
27:14layer it's changing.
27:17Suppose we are left on this piano. But
27:20now I'm going to the first layer and it
27:22doesn't change because dynamic active
27:24units are not enabled on this layer. So
27:27you get the point. Okay. Uh so what are
27:31the other properties that we have? So
27:34dynamic transpose now this is a new cool
27:37feature and actually there's more to
27:39that. So once I activate dynamic
27:42transpose now the layer has their own
27:45transpose and now with the new version
27:48of key stage
27:50uh the notebook keeping system considers
27:53transpose as well. So for example if you
27:55tap and hold a chord that move to
27:59another layer with a different transpose
28:00you won't get stuck notes because this
28:02wasn't the case in the previous version.
28:04Okay. uh I don't want to go too much
28:07into the the details about all other
28:10units. You get the main point. You can
28:13change the tempo and time signature
28:16between layers and between sections
28:18within each layer. But there is more uh
28:22we have track properties that also have
28:26dynamic options.
28:28By the way, uh I realized why I have
28:30this uh present while during this demo.
28:34Uh I because of this recorder.
28:37Apparently this recorder in the
28:38background is causing a lot of stress on
28:41my iPad. Okay. So I was talking about
28:44dynamic properties of tracks.
28:47Now if I tap advance here
28:51dynamic, we have a new option here
28:53called dynamic properties for tracks.
28:58And we have now two parts here. dynamic
29:01properties between sections and between
29:04layers. So we have these two options
29:06here. So dynamic volume pan we already
29:10know how these works. So dynamic volume
29:13for example when you disable dynamic
29:16volume the volume slider goes away here.
29:18I mean you can still control the volume
29:21but it doesn't change between sections
29:23anymore.
29:25And the active button here start button
29:27just goes away.
29:30Um
29:32when you enable it, we have the unit
29:35volume enabled and with the active
29:37button.
29:39Uh the same goes with layers. So if this
29:42is off, but this is on, let's turn this
29:45off as well.
29:48I go here. So let's suppose we have this
29:51volume up here for BTO. That volume
29:54never changes between layers.
29:58So if I change it here, it stays the
30:00same. But if I have
30:04dynamic volume enabled,
30:06we don't still have the store button
30:08because this is not related to parts.
30:10These values are actually stored on
30:13different layers of that track. So for
30:16example, if I change it here, now we
30:19have different volume values for
30:21different layers. These options used to
30:24be in the song properties. volume, pan,
30:26sounds, audio in parameters, but now
30:29they are they they can be independently
30:30controlled within each track and for
30:33layers we have quite nice of set of
30:36options. So MIDI inputs, input channels,
30:40output channels. So these most of these
30:42properties here can change between
30:45layers. Now for example on the first
30:48layer, let's say I'm only using still
30:51there's one more somewhere. Yeah, here
30:55suppose I'm just using main keyboard
30:57here. Now here we have a different set
31:00of inputs. The dynamic space between
31:03sections. This option is also
31:08can be dynamic between layers. So on
31:11this song you you don't want to change
31:13the sound or beat hug but on this song
31:16you want to change on this song. So you
31:19enable that on for that song. Okay. But
31:22for this this option dynamic pull states
31:26between sections should be on between
31:29layers. If this is off,
31:33this option is static between layers.
31:37So if I enable it, it's enabled in all
31:39layers. So custom translators is a big
31:42option. So
31:45now the track has multiple sets of
31:49custom translators. So on this part you
31:51you may have a set of custom translators
31:55where on this you may have a different
31:57set of custom translators
31:59and on this you you may choose not to
32:01have any. So several options can change
32:05between layers and they they can be
32:08controlled here whether they should
32:09change or not. There's one cool feature
32:12here. Bypass layer volume, bypass
32:15section volume. Let me show you what
32:17what it means. Bypass layer volume.
32:19Actually, I don't want to really show it
32:21in this complex song. Let's create a new
32:23song and make it simple
32:30and add another layer.
32:33Let's demonstrate with two layers. Now,
32:36suppose I have dynamic layer volume on
32:39and also let me demonstrate with two
32:41sections as well.
32:43And on both of these layers
32:46edit
32:48uh dynamic section volume is on. So
32:50these are these these were the last
32:52states for for the last uh layer. So
32:55they they are actually stored. So
32:56whenever you decide on these options
32:59whenever you create a new layer these
33:01these are automatically copied.
33:04So suppose I turn down the layer volume
33:07here
33:12and here on the second section of the
33:14second layer I increase the se I turn
33:18down the section volume.
33:22So as I keep changing sections and
33:24layers since the the dynamic properties
33:27of the volumes are active for both
33:30layers and between layers the volume
33:32keeps changing but suppose for a
33:35specific for this specific track you
33:36don't want this to happen what I do is I
33:39usually do I create an input units for
33:42my inear monitoring which I hear other
33:46bad members through that input units and
33:49I don't want the volumes of that input
33:51you need to change between sections and
33:53layers. While I'm changing between
33:55layers, I want that to be static. So,
33:58what I do is I enable these two options.
34:03Now,
34:06this doesn't affect this track anymore.
34:09The section volume and layer volume
34:11doesn't affect.
34:15It's always fixed volume.
34:18So, that's that option.
34:20Okay. Uh so much for dynamic properties.
34:25Uh
34:27you can investigate more. You can ask
34:29me.
34:31Uh I'll talk about some of these
34:33features are also some new features that
34:35I haven't talked about like mute audio
34:36if there is no part things like that.
34:39I'm going to talk about them later.
34:41Okay. I waited for for a while between
34:44the recordings and then it just goes
34:45away. So let's see how what happens with
34:48this recording. So before I move on to
34:50the uh next big feature, I have a couple
34:52of things that I talk about I need to
34:54talk about about layers. A couple of
34:57options actually. We have this neat
35:00option. So you realize now we have the
35:02name of the song slash the name of the
35:05layer.
35:07But you can change this. So you can you
35:10may choose to only show the layer or
35:12just the song or both of them. There is
35:15a fourth tab here layer settings.
35:17Probably I'll have more options in the
35:19future here, but there are three more
35:22three options right now. The these first
35:24two options are uh convenience on when
35:28you're using this as songs. Move to
35:30first section after changing layers. So
35:33when I disable this, so for example, I'm
35:35the on the fourth section here. As long
35:38as the layer has four or more sections,
35:41it stays on the on the fourth section.
35:43One way to use this is what what I
35:46thought is instead of using these as
35:48different songs, you may have you may
35:51use this as different setups within the
35:54same song. For example, uh suppose on
35:56the chorus section I want to temporarily
35:59change my setup temporarily change it
36:03and then move back again. So what I can
36:05do here
36:07uh I can create a copy of this layer
36:11and
36:13use this as an alternative version of my
36:17song. And for example here I am
36:20temporarily changing this
36:23to some other sound.
36:27So right now while on the chorus section
36:30I assign a pedal to temporarily change
36:32to the second layer. The sound changes.
36:35I move back to the first layer and
36:37continue. Uh with this option off you
36:40can use it like that. But when this
36:41option is on I change layers it always
36:44moves to the first section. The second
36:46one is kind of similar. Connect the
36:49first and last sections of adjacent
36:50layers while changing sections. Okay.
36:53While this is on,
36:55when you change sections,
36:58either in the live console or using an
37:02external controller,
37:05when we move to the end of the layer,
37:09let's toggle this on.
37:12So, the next arrow basically moves to
37:14the first section of the next layer. And
37:18similarly,
37:19we are at the end of the of this layer
37:22now. And it doesn't only work with with
37:24the these buttons on the live console,
37:27but if you assign a switch pedal to
37:29change sections while you're at So,
37:32let's go here. While you're at the end
37:34of this, when you press the pedal, you
37:36move to the beginning of this. If this
37:39option is off, my previous but button
37:41never doesn't work anymore. It doesn't
37:43go into the end of the previous layer.
37:45or while I'm at the end of this layer, I
37:49cannot go to the next layer. So before
37:52talking about this last option here, I'm
37:54going to talk about how to control
37:56change layers externally either using uh
38:01new option here or custom translators.
38:03But uh in external med control since as
38:07you know we can change
38:09uh sections
38:11and songs here. But now there is now the
38:14middle option changing layers using a
38:16control change number. So this is
38:18practically the same thing. Uh let's uh
38:22mediarn this. I'm using this modulation
38:26button on my keyboard.
38:29I can simply change layers using that.
38:32Similarly
38:34uh here let's go into song translators.
38:40Let me disable this first so that I can
38:42demonstrate because I have only one
38:45button on my keyboards. The modulation
38:47button
38:48modulation uh in the special events. So
38:52move to previous section, next section,
38:54move to section at position, previous
38:56layer, next layer. So we have now
38:58controls for layers as well. Put the
39:00trigger range like this. So when I fully
39:04press it moves to the next section. So
39:06the custom translators have now the
39:08options for layers as well. Like I can
39:11go to a specific layer position previous
39:14layer. In the scripts there are even
39:15more options but I have a I'm going to
39:18shoot a separate video about scripts
39:19anyway. I'm just going to switch back to
39:23this option here.
39:25Now I can talk about while changing
39:28layers restrict to filters. I'm going to
39:29talk about filters but I I want to
39:31demonstrate it with uh on this OPET set
39:35that we have created before. Let's talk
39:37about this filter.
39:40So I'm going to move it up here because
39:41when I tap this filter, a keyboard shows
39:43up. I'm going to resolve this problem.
39:45It's it's going to go up automatically.
39:47So filter is basically the thing that
39:50you do when you're selecting presets and
39:53stuff like that. when you start typing
39:56you restrict the layers that contains
39:58this word here. So it's convenient if
40:01you have so many layers and you need to
40:03find the right layer automatically or if
40:05you organize your layers in a different
40:08way like for example you group them like
40:11first set, second set, third set and you
40:14name your layers with containing those
40:16words like first set, second set, then
40:18you can just display only the layers in
40:20the first set and second set and so on.
40:23And this uh option stays here. So you
40:25have to be careful. Right now we are
40:28restricted to the layers containing D
40:31and E. So if I tap this, it's really not
40:34visible. Maybe I should make it visible.
40:36There's a cross button here. So I reset
40:38the filter. And this option here is
40:42related to that. So while changing
40:45layers, let me demonstrate with this
40:47off. Uh so we have these three songs in
40:51a row with deliverance, serenity and
40:53demon of the fall.
40:55If I tap D here, the serenity goes away.
40:58It doesn't contain D. So suppose we have
41:00this filter now while this option is off
41:04while I'm in the live console or while
41:07I'm changing layers externally using my
41:10remote control. So let me show you. I go
41:13to the end of this section and the next
41:16layer is serenity. It's not here. So I'm
41:19now in the layer serenity which is not
41:21visible on my layers because of the
41:23filter
41:25and I going to demon. And the same goes
41:28when I go to previous layers and the
41:30same happens when I use my external
41:33control. So I move to next layer, next
41:35layer, next layer but next layer is
41:36certainly it's not visible here and next
41:39layer is in default. When I enable this
41:42option, now my next layer, previous
41:45layer of actions as well as my options
41:48here are now restricted to this filter.
41:51So when my I when I'm at the end of
41:53deliverance, my next layer is dim, not
41:56certainty anymore. I'm restricted to
41:58this filter. And the same goes with my
42:01external control. When I'm on
42:03deliverance, when I hit the next layer
42:05button, the next layer is the default.
42:07And one one other thing that I need to
42:09mention when about restricting layers.
42:11I'm not going to be able to demonstrate
42:12here, but when you have this option or
42:16in the custom translator is when you
42:18choose the option move to layer at
42:20position. So if you're changing layers
42:22using values like for example program
42:25change values or whatever zero
42:27corresponds to first layer, one
42:28corresponds to second layer, two
42:30corresponds to third, three, four, five.
42:33So it has to go like that. And this
42:35option also works in that way. So when I
42:38have D here now zero, one, two, three
42:42and four goes to demon of the fall. If
42:45this option is off, four goes to
42:47serenity, the hidden layer here. Five
42:50goes to demon of the fall corresponds to
42:52the demon of the fall. Okay, let's talk
42:54about the clipboard and the favorites.
42:56So I'm going to start with the basic uh
42:59case. Uh I'm going to go over tracks and
43:02parts. So let's create this track
43:05and audio layer and let's do some
43:08customizations here. Let's say suppose
43:09the up I mean I won't change the output
43:12channel but uh let's say the input is
43:14just the main keyboard. Let's change the
43:17color to something else and let's add a
43:20custom translator. So I tap this wheel,
43:24copy to clipboard
43:27and just go to another blank song file
43:30or any song file. I say paste from
43:34clipboard and it becomes exactly that.
43:37So it's just the simple case and the
43:40same thing works for parts. I'm I'm not
43:43going to go over too much detail but
43:45let's do a couple of things. Suppose
43:48this is an octave
43:50and it's auto sustain.
43:54Let's go into favorites. Instead, I'm
43:57going to save this current state as a
43:59favorites.
44:01Make a random name. And on this part,
44:06I set this a favorites. Well, I mean,
44:09since this is on another track, the full
44:12state info, the full state info is still
44:14saved. So it should be this full same
44:16full state but I mean yeah you can save
44:19parts it stores all the information
44:21including the custom translators here as
44:23well. So on the uh favorites you can
44:27store favorites or you can swipe left to
44:31delete favorites and these are stored
44:33globally. This works for all it works
44:36for MIDI channels it works for so for
44:40example you can do for the same for
44:42mixer units. So it's a favorites. Let's
44:45say mixer.
44:47Let's also store this as a favorites.
44:54So I create a track here. So it becomes
44:57a mixer. It becomes an audio layer with
45:00the ah this automatically opens.
45:03Okay, I need to demonstrate again. So
45:07the current state basically rolls back
45:10to its initial state. So for example
45:12here suppose I have a
45:15player unit.
45:19I go to favorites mixer current state is
45:22a player unit or audio layer or go back
45:26to current state or for example you
45:29choose the mixer you you have a bunch of
45:31lists and you decide to uh roll back to
45:34the initial state you can cancel and it
45:36goes back to its initial state. So yeah,
45:39this is the basic structure of favorites
45:42and of course things gets more
45:43interested when we go to sections and
45:46layers.
45:48Now I have already stored a bunch of uh
45:52section favorites. So every so every
45:55time you go to the favorites menu if you
45:56open it in a section it shows you the
46:00stored sections. If you open it in a um
46:04part, it shows you. So I already deleted
46:06it. But for example, here if I open it
46:10in a track, it shows the favorites of
46:12tracks. So yeah, I can run the audio
46:15layer section here. Okay. For favorites,
46:19it works the same way. You can copy or
46:21paste or you can uh choose from one of
46:24the favorites. And you again have
46:26filters here.
46:28Uh just like that.
46:31So let's choose something.
46:34So of course
46:37this section contains some uh parts
46:41which are connected to tracks which has
46:44some audio units that does not exist in
46:46this song. So it adds those ones and
46:50loads them. So I roll back.
46:53Let's load something else
46:57or let's load this one.
47:02actually the parts that are added here.
47:05Okay. Yeah. And the same logic applies
47:08to layers as well. So I already have uh
47:12some favorites stored here as well.
47:15So the whole layer is loaded into
47:20in place of this one.
47:22Okay. There's a small update issue that
47:24I need to resolve. It's actually now the
47:26layer. So the yeah uh just the name
47:29didn't update but so the the basic idea
47:32is the same. Okay. Um but of course
47:37there's something working in the
47:39background and so this was the basics
47:42about uh layers sorry about favorites.
47:46Now we go into the advanced section.
47:48Okay. Okay, to demonstrate uh the
47:50advanced features, the customizations
47:52about uh favorites, I decided to create
47:55a simple uh section with this
47:58configuration. So I have piano tech uh
48:02with multiple inputs with uh pitch bands
48:05and like these three inputs.
48:08And if I go to song mixer, this is
48:10connected to this mixer and the mixer
48:13has an effect.
48:16So I have this simple setup.
48:19Now uh when I click favorites and save
48:23this as a current state let's call this
48:25tests.
48:27What key stage does is it stores all the
48:30information on this section all the
48:33parts it contains and all the tracks as
48:35well because it needs those information
48:38when when it does matches.
48:41Now uh suppose I want to paste this into
48:45a song which is slightly different.
48:48Uh suppose we have another song
48:53uh with piano tech but it only has the
48:57inputs for main keyboard and it doesn't
49:00it's not connected to a mixer unit and
49:02of course there's no effect. Now
49:06what key stage does is the following.
49:08Let's go into this advance. So keystage
49:11has an advanced matching algorithm when
49:13it tries to add a section from favorites
49:16into an existing song. It tries to match
49:20uh tracks of the favorite or of the
49:24section with the with the tracks
49:27favorite tracks and tries to do one by
49:29one matching in a recursive manner and
49:32try to find the optimal options and
49:34these criteria track matching criterias
49:36and actions if there is no match
49:39determines those uh those algorithms. So
49:43let me try to go from one extreme start
49:46with one extreme. But this this is uh
49:48the default setup and I believe these
49:51options this setup is optimal for 90% of
49:55you guys. Probably you won't even need
49:57to go into this advanced section just
49:59works the way for your setup. But uh if
50:04you want to go more into the advanced
50:07settings and you just need to do this
50:09once probably and you never look back.
50:11But let me show you the uh how this
50:14structure works. So if all of them are
50:17checked out, what key stage does is okay
50:21um looks at the favorites, checks the
50:24parts, checks the corresponding tracks
50:26and tries to find matchings for those
50:29tracks in the original original song.
50:32And the only thing that it looks is the
50:34output. Whether it's the same audio
50:37unit, whether it's the same media
50:38output, whether it's a mixer unit or
50:40player unit, whatever. And if it
50:42matches, that's it. Doesn't care
50:44anything about us. And in this case, so
50:48remember the original test one has a
50:52piano tech and there's only parts
50:54corresponding to that piano tech and
50:57that matches. It doesn't care. So now it
51:00founds a match and that's it. It doesn't
51:03care about the media output or whether
51:05it's connected to an that is connected
51:07to an effect or or so. So let's roll
51:10back
51:11and now let's add a criteria. Let's add
51:14the med inputs. Now for certain of these
51:17matching criterias there are certain
51:19actions that you can assign. And
51:22normally the only action is create new
51:24track. For some of them like this you
51:27can create a new track or add missing
51:30input. So what but what it means is if
51:34the if key stage cannot find a match uh
51:38for for this criteria in the uh in the
51:42existing tracks it just creates a new
51:44one because because that's what we chose
51:47here. So we know that the media inputs
51:50are different
51:52and it creates a new one. So remember
51:54this has multiple inputs but the
51:57original one had only main keyboard. So
51:59it just says okay I need to create a new
52:02track and there is a part here. Let's
52:05try one more thing.
52:08So but if I say add missing inputs
52:10instead of creating a new track it says
52:13okay the matching criteria holds for
52:15this because okay even if the inputs do
52:18not match I can just add the missing
52:19tracks. And now
52:23uh this turns into multiple inputs. So
52:25again let's roll back. I don't have the
52:27on button unfortunately.
52:31Let's go one more step.
52:34Let's say I want to also control the
52:36output.
52:38Okay. Output means whether it's
52:40connected to a mixer or it's connected
52:42to the uh directly to the output of the
52:45of your audio interface. This is
52:48connected to directly to the output. And
52:50the other one was connected to the
52:51mixer. So this doesn't match.
52:55So when I do that, it has to create the
52:58piano tech with the mixer. But it didn't
53:01add the effects. Why? Because I didn't
53:03add the effect criteria into the
53:07equation. So let's roll back and say
53:12uh connect effects.
53:16Let's say create new track row for now.
53:19And when I do this now, it creates piano
53:22tech connected to the mixer and add the
53:24missing effects. Okay. Uh let's do
53:27another test now. Roll back. Suppose
53:30this is now connected to a mixer. So as
53:34I said the lo the algorithm works
53:36recursively.
53:38So the original mixer unit also has
53:41these default outputs. Suppose that this
53:44only pitch band is connected to the
53:47output and let's connect this piano take
53:51to the mixer unit
53:54and let's change this to uh
53:58okay what was what was it look like
54:00let's actually I don't remember
54:03so we had med inputs let's disable these
54:06and add the missing inputs let's match
54:08the inputs for the original track
54:12so Yeah, the original track matches.
54:17Let's delete this. But the uh the mix
54:20units do not match.
54:22We have we forgot about connection
54:28and suppose
54:32uh the media inputs requires to create a
54:35new track the med input criteria. Uh but
54:39we have also add audio outputs. So what
54:41key stage does is okay it starts
54:44searching for piano tech looks at the
54:47piano tech okay it matches the medium
54:48input matches and this one is connected
54:51to a mixer unit the one in the favorite
54:54is also connected to the mixer unit and
54:56now it compares the mixer unit but the
54:58mixer units med inputs do not match and
55:00because of that it just has to create
55:03everything from scratch because it fails
55:05at the second check in the recursive
55:07check okay let's delete this
55:13And so let's add MI uh input criteria
55:16again.
55:18Uh instead of creating I just add
55:20missing ones and connected tracks. Add
55:23new track. If I keep select new track
55:26again it the match doesn't it it doesn't
55:28match.
55:31So it has to create everything from
55:32scratch because it fails at the last
55:35check.
55:36But if I change this to add missing
55:39effects,
55:43it just add the missing effects because
55:45everything is match. And now we going to
55:48come to that this effect is bypassed
55:50because there's no parts. This is
55:52actually a really useful f feature
55:54especially when you're adding new um
55:58favorites.
56:00Yeah, this is pretty much it. The logic
56:02is
56:04the tracks matches matching criteras are
56:08set up here with the appropriate
56:10actions.
56:12And for me, for example, this is really
56:15convenient. The custom translators add
56:17missing translators. The the missing
56:19translator is actually added to the
56:21parts, not to the track so that it
56:23doesn't affect the other sections.
56:25U so media inputs, output channels,
56:29dynamic full states. So dynamic full
56:31states for example uh this option here
56:36whether the full states in one parts
56:39should change is it dynamic or not. So
56:41this property is checked
56:44but if if if there is no match enable
56:47full state and adjust full state of
56:49existing parts. So these there's there
56:50are some clever actions going on here
56:53with these options and depending on your
56:57setup you just can adjust. For example,
57:00if you color code all your tracks and
57:02you you want the colors to match, you
57:05can just enable this as well or name of
57:07the tracks. If you name all your tracks
57:10like give custom names and you want uh
57:14to match the custom names, you can add
57:16that as well or track parameters CCS or
57:18MP properties.
57:20And when it comes to layers,
57:23the logic is the same.
57:26The only difference is some of the
57:28criterias are just grayed out because we
57:31don't need them. Why? For example, for
57:34media inputs. Well, when we add a whole
57:37layer, we know that the tracks can have
57:40dynamic media inputs. The media inputs
57:43can change from layer to layer. So, it
57:45basically enables the dynamic media
57:46inputs and changes the med input for
57:48that layer. So, we don't really need to
57:50do any matching over there. So, we have
57:52less criteras for layers, layer
57:54matchings. And by the way, um, when you
57:58actually when we first created OPED set
58:02list and create a layered song, the the
58:05way that combines all these songs into
58:08layers is based on those algorithms that
58:10I just mentioned here. So these options
58:14here that you choose for layers also
58:17affects when you're combining songs like
58:20that or when you're adding songs as
58:22layers to existing songs. Okay. Now
58:24related to favorites, there is one new
58:26other new feature that I want to show
58:28which is uh this track order. Okay, so
58:32what happens when you add favorites?
58:35Let's actually go into that.
58:39Let's add something like mental nomad
58:42intro. This actually adds a lot of
58:45tracks. All the tracks are added at the
58:47end of of the existing tracks. That's
58:50what key stage does.
58:52And sometimes you want to organize your
58:55tracks in a convenient way by like put
58:58all mixers together, put all instrument
59:00news together, effect mix together, and
59:03every time you add a new section, the
59:06order just goes out of hand. Well, track
59:09order basically remedies that. You have
59:13your this is the default order but you
59:16so MIDI tracks are on top, instrument
59:18units, mixer units, player units, input
59:20units and so on and so forth. We can
59:22change the order by putting changing by
59:26holding and dragging these items.
59:28Suppose we want to put instrument units
59:30on top and then mixer units and then we
59:34apply. Boom. the all the whole order
59:37just changed depending on your so the
59:39instruments are on top then the mixer
59:41units and then the media tracks then
59:44player units and so on so forth there's
59:47also this option automatically apply
59:50while replacing sections or layers from
59:52favorites when this is on
59:55this also applies for uh layers as well
1:00:00when you
1:00:03add some
1:00:05things here like some some audio units
1:00:08are added because we saw the loading
1:00:10screen. When we leave here
1:00:13all these are just ordered. So for
1:00:14example the immediate track is added and
1:00:16some additional plugins are added and
1:00:20this apply now just hits every time we
1:00:23leave out of the favorites menu. So now
1:00:27we are down to smaller new features but
1:00:31some really important ones here. Now I
1:00:34going to talk about these rendering
1:00:35options. Now remember we have these
1:00:39options suspend inactive plugins to
1:00:41improve performance and allow seamless
1:00:43transition. As far as I remember these
1:00:45were added in 2.1 or maybe 2.2 I don't
1:00:49remember but uh what it does is when we
1:00:54have no parts on that section and if the
1:00:56audio is completely off it stops
1:00:58rendering and this idle shows up here.
1:01:02These can be independently controlled
1:01:04within each track now. So these options
1:01:08even if the so the glo these this
1:01:10controls all the track globally but
1:01:12within each track you can control
1:01:15whether you want seamless audio or
1:01:17suspend rendering options. So suppose I
1:01:20disable suspend rendering. Now one thing
1:01:23that you realize is the percentages
1:01:25here. So the DSP contribution of each
1:01:28plug-in is now shown on the on the
1:01:30plug-in itself
1:01:32and you can see that it's now 27 29%.
1:01:37And you can see these two indicators as
1:01:39well. So on for this audio unit since
1:01:42transition is on. If I turn it off now
1:01:45only AU1 shows up. So there's only one
1:01:48audio units here and it's currently
1:01:50active. It's currently running with uh
1:01:5314% DSP. If I toggle this on
1:01:58and right now it's only well actually
1:02:01this is a small UI glitch when I tap it
1:02:04refreshes. Now both of them are running
1:02:06but since suspend renderings are off
1:02:10no matter there's part or not these are
1:02:13always on and they adds to the to the
1:02:16DSP but if I toggle this on
1:02:21and so you remember how seamless
1:02:23transition work so suppose we choose
1:02:25another preset here
1:02:32so right now audio unit one has this
1:02:34plugin when I switch to this it switches
1:02:38to audio unit 2 and then after a while
1:02:40it turn toggles off audio unit one why
1:02:43because it just alternates between the
1:02:46two when when we're moving between two
1:02:47full states
1:02:50but if I keep press and hold and move
1:02:52here right now both of them are active
1:02:55because I have this is the audio unit
1:02:57one is also sounding
1:03:00as soon as the volume goes down to zero
1:03:03the audio unit just disables goes into
1:03:06idle basically and here on this section
1:03:09since there are no parts both of them
1:03:10goes into idle. So yeah you can actually
1:03:13see the behavior of audio units from
1:03:16these indicators
1:03:19and there's one more new feature in the
1:03:22renderings silent audio if there is no
1:03:25parts. This is especially useful maybe
1:03:28not for instrument units but for effect
1:03:31units and for um input units and maybe
1:03:34for play units as well. What it does is
1:03:36if there's no parts it basically mutes
1:03:39the play the the audio units.
1:03:43Even if I keep and hold a note here it
1:03:46just mutes. When we go back here it's
1:03:49starts playing. Okay. What is the use of
1:03:51that? Input unit is actually quite
1:03:53convenient because you may use input
1:03:56units for different sections and I think
1:03:59by default this is silence audio if
1:04:01there's no part is on. By the way these
1:04:04options are stored on each type for
1:04:07example for Hammonds right now whatever
1:04:09the last state is it's saved. So every
1:04:11time I create a new he
1:04:14these options are selected. So maybe I
1:04:16should toggle this off.
1:04:18But for example, for input units, it's
1:04:20really convenient because you don't want
1:04:22to keep this active all the time. And
1:04:25for effect units, this is especially
1:04:28good because
1:04:30uh let me demonstrate it with
1:04:34uh THU.
1:04:35This is one of my favorite amp models.
1:04:38And let's connect it to
1:04:41Elite Sound on Soundriser. This is so
1:04:44I'm I want to So let's check if this is
1:04:49Yeah. bypass effect if there's no part
1:04:51because that's how I used it last time.
1:04:54So let's move here. Let's
1:04:58let's choose a lead sound
1:05:05and let's connect this effects to
1:05:08Sunriser.
1:05:11Right now there is metal tone but it's
1:05:13not affected because it's bypassed right
1:05:17now. But the moment I create a part here
1:05:26you see when whenever I go to another uh
1:05:29section with no part on it the effect is
1:05:31bypassed. And talking about bypassing
1:05:34effects, we have another new feature uh
1:05:37which is
1:05:40effect mix.
1:05:44So now you can control the mix of the
1:05:46effects and mix zero means bypass. Full
1:05:49mix means all the signals are passing
1:05:51through and you can choose any level
1:05:53between and this is a parameter on
1:05:56effects and right now these are added
1:05:59here on the effect mix like this. And
1:06:05uh the dynamic properties of effect
1:06:08mixes can be also controlled between
1:06:10sections and layers like that. So for
1:06:12example, you can have
1:06:17toggle the full states off.
1:06:26So you can change the level of the
1:06:28effects here
1:06:31between sections and between layers. And
1:06:33by the way, the idle mech mechanic now
1:06:35also also came to effects. It wasn't
1:06:39actually the case in the previous
1:06:40version. So this actually works really
1:06:43well because even if there's a part
1:06:45right now on on this
1:06:48uh so this now now also has suspend
1:06:50renderings when not in use option.
1:06:53When this is on, the effect is idle as
1:06:57long as it doesn't receive any audio
1:06:59signals. The moment it start receiving
1:07:01audio signals,
1:07:04it activates and when it stops receiving
1:07:07signals, it just goes into idle. And so
1:07:09let's say we add some release here
1:07:15like this.
1:07:18So it actually checks the audio signal,
1:07:20not the not the med signal that I'm
1:07:22playing.
1:07:24So I press
1:07:28after the release goes below a certain
1:07:31level threshold it goes into idle.
1:07:34Another feature that I want to talk
1:07:37about is here.
1:07:40So on these parameters either audio in
1:07:43parameters or track parameters. Well for
1:07:44audio units it doesn't work right now
1:07:46because there is a full states.
1:07:49Well, let me only demonstrate on the
1:07:50units volume right now. Let's this
1:07:55forget about this effect now. Oops.
1:07:59Ah, you see the automatic ordering is
1:08:03active. So that's why it's every time I
1:08:05go into favorites and then out, it just
1:08:08reorders.
1:08:11So let's actually uh turn to full state
1:08:14off. And I will demonstrate here.
1:08:19Now suppose I want to go to this section
1:08:23reduce the volume but I want to do it
1:08:25gradually.
1:08:28So what I do is
1:08:31I assign a dur duration here. Let's say
1:08:34around 2 seconds.
1:08:37So now
1:08:39in 2 seconds the volume goes from this
1:08:42level to that level. And it doesn't
1:08:44matter like for example now it goes from
1:08:47this to that level. So it's assigned to
1:08:49this part and also works for audio
1:08:52parameters but it only works when the
1:08:54part has no full state because for full
1:08:57states these parameters are sent the
1:09:01parameter information are inside the
1:09:03full state. So we cannot control them
1:09:05gradually.
1:09:06So for example here
1:09:09let's choose a parameter. Let's see.
1:09:14Change something here. Uh I want to
1:09:17this.
1:09:20Yeah.
1:09:22So filter frequency.
1:09:27Change resonance a bit.
1:09:32Let's keep it here.
1:09:38Ah the volume. So let's toggle off the
1:09:40volume.
1:09:41So when this is off, this also doesn't
1:09:43apply.
1:09:47Right now it's instant, but now I want
1:09:49to change the filter in a long duration.
1:09:53Let's choose something like 5 seconds.
1:10:03So yeah, you can apply these gradual
1:10:05changes to parameters and also to MIDI
1:10:07parameters as well. If you have a MIDI
1:10:09uh hardware, you can also do the gradual
1:10:12changes to MIDI parameters. There is one
1:10:15last feature that I want to talk about
1:10:19uh to show that I'm going to open
1:10:22this op set list. This was a request uh
1:10:26by one of you guys. Some of you like to
1:10:29use key stage like a sound module where
1:10:34you want to assign sections as combies
1:10:38like for example with splits and layers
1:10:40and everything and you want to
1:10:41dynamically choose between sections.
1:10:44Layer structure makes it easier to
1:10:46organize those combies into different
1:10:49layers. So that's one thing. But one
1:10:52thing that one of you guys was asking is
1:10:56uh so he was using his keyboard to
1:10:58change to select those combies those
1:11:01presets or whatever using program change
1:11:04and bank select signals and he asked me
1:11:07whether it's possible to select a
1:11:09section using program change and bank
1:11:11select messages and every time he
1:11:14changes the order of these uh sections
1:11:17the assignments just fails the
1:11:19assignments just match
1:11:21Okay, to remedy that I added this new
1:11:25feature media identifier. So each
1:11:28section now has media identifiers. So
1:11:31media identifiers are the program change
1:11:34uh MSB and LSB messages. So how does it
1:11:37work? But first of all, so you can
1:11:39assign these to uh sections like that
1:11:43and you can manually do that or you can
1:11:45tap middlearn and suppose your keyboard
1:11:48uh has those buttons which sends those
1:11:51program change band and bank select
1:11:53messages together as combi signals. So
1:11:56you press that signal and the middlearn
1:11:58I won't be able to demonstrate it here
1:12:00on because I don't have a keyboard like
1:12:02that. So I'll just talk about it. So by
1:12:05either using midlearn or using these
1:12:07manuals, you assign those program change
1:12:10and bank select messages to these
1:12:12sections and then when you go to
1:12:15external MIDI control.
1:12:18So you have these options to change
1:12:19sections, layers and songs. But in the
1:12:22sections we have a new button here
1:12:25change sections with med identifiers.
1:12:28So what this does when this is enabled
1:12:32uh key stage so when it receives again
1:12:34from these medium boots when it receives
1:12:36program change and bank select messages
1:12:38it first checks the media identifiers of
1:12:41all these sections and if there is a
1:12:43match it directly goes to that section
1:12:46and if there's no match then it it looks
1:12:48at the other parameters with layers and
1:12:51sections. This basically allows you to
1:12:53assign buttons which sends program
1:12:55change and bank submit messages to
1:12:57sections here and even if you change the
1:12:59order of these sections it directly goes
1:13:02to that section to add to that layer if
1:13:04if it's in a different layer. So yeah,
1:13:07this was another feature request and I
1:13:10think this is pretty much it. There
1:13:11might be some things that I may have
1:13:13forgot some like some very small changes
1:13:15and things. Uh but I can talk about them
1:13:18later and yeah uh I think this is the
1:13:22end. So I'm waiting for your feedback
1:13:25for your crash reports and for your
1:13:28other feature requests and as I said if
1:13:31they are not too complicated if they
1:13:34they won't take too much time I may I
1:13:36can try to add them.
1:13:38Uh but yeah, this is all for now and uh
1:13:43good luck testing and I hope you enjoy
1:13:45it.
