Hey guys,
First off, the new control series looks amazing. However, I paid for it a few days ago and still can’t run it due to it not working with Cubase 15.
That brings me to the point of this post. The final version that Richard created has some incredibly tremendous functionality. And I can’t even fathom how long it took to do all this. But that’s what got me thinking….It’s taken almost a full year to get ONE sample series released. It’s incredible awesomeness is somewhat dimmed by the fact that composers use dozens if not hundreds of different libraries. At this rate, we’ll all be at retirement homes by the time we get a usable compliment of grids, LOL.
I was reviewing the Youtube tutorial when Metagrid added scene switching on track selection in Cubase and we got a sneak preview of Richard’s incredible designs and realized that they were MUCH MORE SIMPLE than the current design.
They had:
-Articulation Keyswitches
-CC controller sliders for the main functions
THAT’s IT!!*
And now the suggestion:
Might it be better to release simplified grids with these basic most necessary features and be able to release them at a quicker pace than one a year so we can all give you more money?
Reduce the cost for the basic versions maybe and then as time goes on, you can add the “Pro” versions or whatever for an upgrade fee.
Get a few dozen up and going, and then go back in and add the bells and whistles for an upcharge.
You could piggyback of of ArtConductor’s already well-made expression maps.
Anyway, just a thought from someone who is redoing their palette soon and would happily pay to have a bunch of grids programmed for various libraries to save myself the time and hassle.
Great products!
