UVI Mosaiq Issues

So I was looking into making a library for Mosaiq which is one of the latest libraries but I have hit an issue which I have always been frustrated with UVI.

In order to map parameters for UVI libraries you first have to "Enable Host Automation" for each parameter you want to order (and Falcon/Workstation have a limitation of 128 parameters).

Usually when you load a library the mapping is empty so you can create a map and have this apply (for the most part) when switching presets as long as the actual parameters between presets remain the same.

FOr whatever reason, Mosaiq has a list of pre-mapped parameters which most are useless for general use and there is no way to just clear this mapping other than 1 at a time which doesn't matter anyway since when you switch presets, it reloads the same mappings.

Waiting for word back from UVI because it makes things kind of useless when you cant easily map things, before NKS I always found this to be the biggest weak point of UVI products when it came to automation and control, that side of their plugins is really lacking.

So for the moment, this library cannot be done.

Yeah, it's designed I assume as a "single key makes music" kind of plugin like most of their falcon expansions really. All you can do is play each of the separate element sequences.

I was asked if I could look at making NKS for it and I have the Sonic Pass for a month to look at new libraries but this one has actual issues, like after switching a few presets you cannot even learn some parameters for HA anymore, they show you can but never actually learn and ones that do simply reset on next preset change. Support confirmed that Falcoin has no way to remove all HA mapping either which is disappointing, it's always been my biggest gripe with UVI, their very limited HA ability and the fact it is often completely lost between preset switches if the macro mapping under the hood changes. Spent Soooooo many hours just manually mapping presets or designing scripts to do it to just generate libraries and other than Falcon factory and Vintage Vault, not much else has been all that popular with libraries TBH.

Now Available: UVI Falcon Expansions NKS Libraries for
Modular Drums + Pulsacion

New libraries for these Falcon Expansions. All controls in each preset have been properly configured and mapped (these internally change between presets so have to be re-mapped for each preset), sound previews and artwork included and all presets fully tagged.

Now Available: UVI Vintage Instrument: PX P-10 NKS Library

Part of Vintage Vault 3 this one was never released as a standalone library, basically due to so many in the VV collection and the fact most people just own the VV collection itself I only release the standalone instrument libraries upon request so this one has now also been added if you do not happen to own Vintage Vault, you can still get the PX P-10 library along with many others. If one is not listed but you would like to see it available just ask me.

Now Available: Xfer Serum 2 NKS Library

New library for Serum 2 now available.

While Serum itself does support using previous patches designed for Serum, external projects (DAW Projects) and NKS files cannot easily update to use Serum 2 sadly so it was required to export the library from scratch with a completely new and improved controller template.

This library includes both the Serum 1 library (with all the previous tagging efforts from the old library migrated across) and the new Serum 2 preset library with full tagging.

With the update in controls there has been a complete overhaul of the old template. Page 1 now holds the 8 macro controls, tho note since Serum 1 only contained 4 macro controls all serum 1 patches only load the 4 macro controls leaving the others free for your own mapping. These will auto populate the control name for easy control.

The OSC control section was a challenge because Serum intelligently switches some of the controls around but with some effort I managed to create a control page that should allow access to the main controls over all OSC types, just be aware depending on the OSC type, not all controls are applicable. It makes sense after a little bit of play.

The FX section of Serum 2 is completely modular now and due to the complex and large number of parameters Xfer have done away with automatable controls for these effects, instead allowing you to map automation with right-click of 16 parameters. These are mapped to 16 reserved FX Automation slots which have been pre-mapped for you on the last 2 pages of the control template however in my tests I believe there is a bit of a bug in this feature as it seems to not reset the automation position when switching presets so if you map a parameter and switch a preset, all parameters are no longer mapped (as expected) but when you right-click to map a new parameter it does not take the first available automation slot, rather if you had 1 mapped previous it always now takes the next slot after that even if the first is free. This is certainly a bug I will raise with Xfer.

While I am confident that the 25 page template covers most of what should be needed, if you discover a parameter that has not been mapped and would be useful to have access too, please let me know and I can add it to an update.

Also note, the previous expansions NKS libraries that were available for Serum 1 have not yet been generated for Serum 2, that will come soon.
