UB-Xa Editor V5

UPDATE V-5.67

New File functions and Side Panel parameters

Redesigned the Atrophy Profile area. If you choose Location=Patch to store your Atrophy settings the Current profile name will change to "-------". This is to remind you that your settings may be different form the Current Profile used when Location = Profile. Remember always turn Edit Adv to  ON or your changes will have no effect.

NOTE: To keep old DL links the same the filenames say V3 but they are the updated V5 versions.

All files have been scanned with AVG Antivirus. The editor is free and comes with no warranties. Play at your own risk. You will need to grant access in Security and Privacy as I am unknown developer :(

Mac versions were built on an iMac running Catalina. Plugins tested with Live 10, Logic 10.6 and Cubase LE 10.5. The plugins were compiled using Reaper. Users report that the standalone app works on later M1 Macs but the  plugins do not. YMMV

PC version was built on VM running Windows 7 Home Basic, but I have tested it on Windows 10 and it works fine - YMMV

Atrophy update

I discovered the Atrophy Recall was a bit flaky so the Atrophy settings now load with the patch even if they are not stored in the patch. This keeps Atrophy settings  in sync with every patch. As I was sorting this out I thought it would be fun to add an Atrophy Macro Controller. All this does is let you edit a section or even all the parameters at once. The results are unpredictable so you can only use it when the Atrophy save location is set to Patch - that way you can't completely screw up your atrophy profile.

I also added  additional file functions so you can now save and load Current Program. This lets you load UB-Xa patches from commercial developers like Ultimate Patches

The final update is the Side Panel. These can be saved with the patch so when you load a Current Program the Side Panel will update too. Great for accessing the hidden features of the Performance LFO like tempo lock and key trig.

This is the latest and probably the last version. It is V5 but I have renamed it V3 to keep the links the same.

Preset Patch

Example of storing Pan in a Preset - Pan is an Atrophy setting. This example uses 4 patches Jump Right. Jump Left, Jump 1-8 Left + 9-16 Right then Alternate LR.

This is a clip from my phone showing the Pan settings in the UB-Xa changing as each patch is recalled.
