Yaeltex ConsoleX is available! (and a mini-me version!)

TL;DW: rightly so, it’s a half hour video.

AirwindowmationForReaper.zip (14k) is just some text files in a folder.

This is an announcement and an update! You can buy ConsoleX to run ConsoleX (the MIDI controller I have, to run my ConsoleX plugins) here:
https://yaeltex.com/product/consolex/

You can also jump directly to the ‘Factory’ pages for this and the Mini-Me version, with these links (they will open a controller-editor web page that lets you play with the design tools without making you buy anything):
Factory Build for ConsoleX with faders
Factory Build for the ConsoleX Mini version

If you want to set up the fader version, or just have faders and want to run Airwindowmation, the zip up top is the latest version! I’m using it currently. It wasn’t easy to set up but I managed it, and once it’s there and working it’s less trouble to operate.

The changes to it are all about what the fader position translates to. I was making mixes and the faders all had to sit really low, so the new Airwindowmation takes the input position, and gives the plugin that position… to the power of the number of tracks OF that color, plus one!

All that means is, for single tracks it adds a ‘taper’ so the fader can ride in the middle of its travel. And then, if you layer on lots more tracks onto that colorcoded fader, the taper changes so it always wants to have ‘normal mix volume’ in the middle of the fader’s travel. No matter how many tracks it controls, the value of the fader will be able to drop to zero at the bottom of the fader, and if you crank it all the way up you’ll get full crank no matter how many tracks there are. It just makes them all use the middle of the fader as ‘normal volume’.

My hope is, that’s an easy and natural way to pass fader settings into the ConsoleX plugin’s fader control, by colorcoding the tracks to go along with faders.

I get nothing from Yaeltex, this is just because I made my design there and like their controllers. I don’t think there’s any kind of price break, either. It’s just me letting you start with my designs (or just use them directly if you like) and get a controller like the one I got :)
