How do you set a midi out I get the option for midi source but cant gret it to send midi to my midi interface

Hello,

First, sorry for my english (my first foreign language is the french).
Elysium is really a very good app! I sended today an information to the ECVST mailing list (an official french speaking Cubase user's group) and to MAC MUSIC (a huge web with information about music).
http://www.espace-cubase.org/
and
http://www.macmusic.org/software/?lan...
I think shortly an information will be published here.
You have to place the information about Elysium to:
http://fr.audiofanzine.com/

Well, I have some suggestions:

COPY LAYOUTS or GROUPS OF EVENTS
It could be cool, if we can copy/past the complet layer. For exemple, we create a layer, copy them, and make some changes and adjustements in the second layer. In the same logic, it could be well to select several events and copy them to another layer...

MAKE AND ORGANISE SHOTS
when we program the layer, it could be nice to save it like a "shot" and make another organisation of the layer. I noticed, that in some tutorial, you changed some parameters in the real time. The problem is that you can change a limited number of parameters. With the organisation of SHOTS, you can create several layouts with subtles (or huges) changes, and later, in the real time, or with some sequence of these shots), you can make evolve all these modifications...
Then, during the playing, we can select these shots and modify in one instant the evolution of programmed arpeggios... (this was made at M - a famous software for generative music on OS7 - OS9). This authorize a cool evolutions of patterns in real time.

SPEED VARIATION:
Now, the music made by Elusium is a little bit mecanical. Each step are the same. It could be very useful, if we could change the speed of the impulse, between different MIDI events. For exemple, the signal goes from the starting event (Generator) to the second at 120 bpm, but from the 2nd to the third, he goes at 300 bpm... and so one.

JUMP:
now, the signal goes lineary to the 6 directions. But for exemple, like in chess, we can jump with the horse not lineary. It could be interessting to can go to the more other directions.
For exemple: from the C4 to C#4 - D4 - D#4... or: C4 - A3 - B2 - F#1... this is only for other linear directions (like in aviators, we could go to all 12 direction). And why not take another paths (like the horse: C4 - F4 - A#5.... or jump directly to F2, then E5? It will be nearest to the keyboard's arpeggios, no?

REBOUNDS:
it could be super to manage more of menus by keyboard (of the computer). Then the movements of the Rebound could be managed by the shortcuts in the numerical part of the keyboard... from 5 we could go to the "12 o'clock" by the 8, to the right by the 6 key and so one....

BRAKE A NOTE.
When the impuls arrive to an event (to play a note, redirect or divide the signal) could be possible to introduce a break to send the impuls later.

INSPECTOR:
Could you make these dialogs adjustable? When we work on the very large screen, i can use a very long windows... if not, we can reduce them...

AFTER RESTART:
When we select and make some organisation (layout with notes and/or octaves), we lost all of theses statements after the restart. It could be nice, if we could retrieve the same organisation of the workspace, than in the last session.

For today, it is enought... I hope these ideas are realisable...???

Hi from Prague (CZ)

hi the intro video is great but do you have a simple scripting example i.e. generator to token 1 (note) rebound to token 2 (note) rebound to token 3 (but script skips token 3 and jumps to token 4 continuing to play from there. Just want to understand this. example of the sound is Brian Eno music for airports Tempo 240, starting cell 67,g4 the first 2 notes are fine but the path to the 3rd is too long. Can I use scripting to jump it? I know this is a sequencer like example but If the path between certain notes is always longer than others things are going to get a bit tedious. Then again I could be missing something.

Hi,

First of all, loving it.

Second: I use Logic a lot and would love it if Elysium could act as a slave.
Meaning that it would receive transport and possibly tempo change events.

Cheers,
Eloy

You stated on twitter that you needed help with a new logo. I'm willing to help. I've been designinging for 15 years. It's always good to give a little back. Your product seems interesting.

Hi, I really love Elysium but I can't make it work with an external hardware synth or a standalone VI. For now, I use it through Live. Do I need some kind of midi utility to send midi directly ? (I checked the midi channels from elysium and on the instruments I want to control and everything is fine for that matter).
