I have read on another forum (one supporting Propellerhead's Reason) that ASIO4All was not favored.Hi all,
We have released a new Unstable release of EigenD, 1.2.3-unstable, available for both Mac and Windows.
It fixes a number of issues for Windows, and includes Camel Audio's Alchemy plug-in. For more specific details about bugs fixed, please refer to the Release Notes.
Please read the download/installation instructions on the page below carefully before installing.

Is there any benefit to Mac users to install this over using 1.1.23?
Super!
Will give it a go this evening.

all recorder hey all overdub toggle set
recorder 1 hey overdub toggle set
Aha - this sounds very promising!
Is there currently a way of setting up a recorder so that it goes into continuous overdub mode, ie you don't have to retrigger the recorder to add another layer, it just starts recording a 2nd layer when you hit the loop point?
yummy

If you have EigenD installed on Windows already, please use the control panel to uninstall any EigenD and Eigenlabs Device Driver packages before installing this package.

I'm not sure how to uninstall device drivers or how to find the ones to uninstall. Can you provide details please? Thanks.
EDIT: Never mind. I found it in Add/Remove.
Open the Windows Control Panel, and make sure you are showing the category view. Choose 'Uninstall a Program' and you'll see a list of all the stuff you've installed.
Select 'Eigenlabs Device Drivers', and uninstall it. Also select 'EigenD' and uninstall that.
Then go ahead and install the new package.
We've had to restructure the installer, so that's why you have to do this with this version. Subsequent updates won't need this uninstall step.

.......
Added support for overdub mode in the EigenD recorders.
When the 'overdub' toggle is enabled and lit green........... allowing for layered loops to be built up and tore down with a single instrument while playing live.
Hi Geert,
do the takes in the overdub mode appear as separate loops in the scheduler so you can choose which takes you want to play at the same time?
Just a 'first look' report on the update.
Alchemy is fun. Thanks for adding that. ASIO driver now sounds fine.
Problem: Sampler 1, cello and clarinet are all fuzzy and distorted (not in a good way). On cello, this is both with ribbon and breath controller.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I sent a bug report to the group just in case.
Thanks for the bug report. I'm looking into these issues.
Are the other samplers distorted too?

Samplers 2 and 3 sound fine. Will spend more time over the weekend to see if I can get you any more details. I will also get you the version of the AMD processor.

Got home, fired up EigenD and... no distortion problem I reported earlier. Checked sampler 1, cello and clarinet and all are clear.
Don't know what the problem was. I did restart my PC prior to launching things today. Perhaps I didn't do that after I installed the update.
Will still monitor things, but looks like I sent a false alarm.
Just got the first few minutes with the update and I can say one thing for sure: Thanks for the Alchemy, from what I´ve seen so far, I love it! Should be amazing for electronica ambience music projekts on the side (and things that would be on in the local disco...of which I´m not sure if it is a good thing).
After more fiddling last evening, I discovered that the distortion I first reported (and then unreported) actually happens when I have the ASIO driver selected. Everything I first reported is under the ASIO driver.
On my setup, I use the Creative SB X-Fi sound card. I have 3 options in the 'Browsing audio ports' window:
1) Creative ASIO (ASIO)
2) Speakers (Creative SB X-Fi)
3) SPDIF Cout
It's the ASIO driver that experiences the distortion on sampler 1, cello, and clarinet
The 2nd option sounds fine, and doesn't produce the crackling found in the previous version.
Option 3 locks up my PC and requires a hard restart.
Also, if I quit EigenD and relaunch, the software produces a 'Visual C++ runtime' error. Only way to launch software is by restarting my PC.
Anyone else see this?
Does ASIO4all (which I guess is what you are using) give the ability to change the buffer size it uses? There ought to be an asio4all icon in your start menu or on your desktop, and dialog with which to change the buffer size (make it larger in small steps until the distortion and crackling goes away).
Can someone with a windows box confirm this?
Hi.
We don't use ASIO4all explicitly, that's just an ASIO shim you must have installed which gives access to Direct Sound devices via Asio.
I've not had much luck using ASIO4All. I'm interested to find out how many people are using it? I get much better results using the direct X interface directly.
I'm going to implement a GUI (under the Tools menu) to allow you to control the Audio device and set its parameters. Hopefully I'll get this out in the next couple of days. This will be for both Windows and Mac.
