The last bundles of alternative presets

 Well, probably the last unless something worth of it appears.

Two packs here. The Sane presets are the ones that I might have put in the monthly packs if I was going to continue them. I did add "Neptune" in this pack - it should have gone in the Insane one but I thought it would be a nice sampler of the Insane - I particularly like the sounds.

The Insane presets are all Drum mode presets  but with tonal samples - they are experiments with what can be done with the mode. They may seem like the configurations of the pads are random, but there was some logic somewhere in them all. I wanted to document them better but it was just too much work and I am moving on to other things.

They are here for downloading:

I'm back again

Since the apparent demise of Artiphon I've been trying to post information that might help people out, and am considering offering some content (just presets, not songs or stems) because there won't be anything coming from from Artiphon. It's a bit tiresome posting stuff on different places so instead I plan to post anything I have to offer here. In due course, feedback will make it more likely to continue - because I'm just human, but negative doesn't have to be a bad thing if it helps me be informed what people might like/want. I'd like to say that I will post something new monthly - but that's not realistic so it may be longer than that. I will aim in each link to include something brand new and something that you may already have if you've used my previous preset packs (although they may be slightly different for you convenience). The bigger packs and the format may have put people off using them. From now on I will use the artipreset format which is...

What have you done with my chords Ma

 In July 2024 Artiphon released new firmware and a new version of the Connect app for the Chorda and Orba 2. This had a big effect on Chord presets and this was a big blow to me. I will try to explain it and what I have been trying to do to mitigate the damage it did to my use of the Orba 2 and the Chorda. The most obvious difference was that all chord presets by default play their standard chord set. Other chord sets defined in a preset are ignored and are no longer used. The standard set is OK, but it is restrictive and rather plain - but I could get round that by creating my own chord sets - I made a lot of them. That has now been stolen from us and instead the app only allows us two alternatives, the pentatonic chord set, again OK but even more restricted, and the chromatic set which bewilders me as I can find no rational to the choice (and placing) of the chords included, there's not even a basic set of chords for the chosen root key in there. (Another change was that the Chor...

In The Meantime ....

 New presets will be posted very soon, but in the meantime: Some people will want to get the content that Artiphon sent out to users. I didn't download all of them myself but here is all that I did get if you need it. https://www.mediafire.com/file/13clvnbxfid0ptg/Artiphon_Presets.zip/file There will be some who need to update their devices to the latest firmware. We can only help for the Orba 3 and the Chorda. Until we can get a working file for the Orba 2 (eg: something that was sent by Artiphon in a support response) we can't help. Here is what we do have, and we know works: https://www.mediafire.com/file/yh4zj6xx5cacjet/TYYTappendix.zip/file I meant to add a note that I would not recommending loading Stems onto you device unless you are sure you want them. They use a lot of long samples and have limited use, taking up storage space you might want eventually. It's up to you, I can see some folk will love them. I don't. In case it's useful to know for Orba 3 users...
