Now that I’ve got OhmSound running nice and stable, it’s time for some overview videos.
First, I cover the basics the synth, and of setting up different scales:

Then I take a dessert break:

Then we get to the meat of the matter, and how to design sounds:

We recently launched our Ohm recycle program. It is a bit unheard of in the music products business to upgrade past units to the latest model’s features. We figured “hey what the heck”. We realize our users appreciate our controllers as not being disposable so we figured they should not be left out of the fun!

After a couple weeks of getting conversion parts fabricated by our shop robots (commanded by humans). We just started receiving Ohm classic controllers and recycling the bodies to accept the new Ohm64 controls. It requires a custom faceplate and that has the outline of the classic faceplate but the inside cutouts of the Ohm64 controls. We also do away with the classic midiboard and back panel board and replace it with our new talk back enabled MidiUSB all in one board.
Here are before and after pics of a super sweet Red ohm Classic owned by user Diego Medina that that we just recycled.
The recycle program is extra rewarding for me. It is like a reunion with my babies after they left the nest. It is nice to spend some time with them and see how they are holding up in the harsh world.

Durnit! Seems that v3 had a couple bugs with the new scales system. I also fixed some bugs that produced incorrect scales. So let’s try that again:

Of course, after a first release, there has to be an update.
This fixes bugs with changing presets, allows naming of presets, and saves the state of all changes to scales and chords on each row.
Additionally, this version does not reprogram the Ohm64 with new button assignments, but, rather, handles the transposition on the host computer. This way, the LEDs will not get mixed up in the event that multiple buttons are assigned the same note number.

Here’s a way to create “banks” using the Editor and Presets so you can control more than eight tracks in Ableton Live.
