Common Expressive E Imagine Hybrid Acoustic Software Synthesizer Plug-in Questions
How do I configure my MIDI controller to fully utilize the Imagine's expressive capabilities like MPE and Polyphonic Aftertouch?
In your DAW, ensure your MIDI controller is set to MPE mode. Within Imagine, go to the 'Settings' panel and select your MIDI device, then adjust the sensitivity curves for each dimension of expression (e.g., Slide, Pressure) to match your playing style.
Where are my Imagine presets/kits saved, and how do I back them up?
Imagine stores presets and kits in a dedicated folder within your user documents directory (e.g., Documents/Expressive E/Imagine). Simply copy this entire folder to a safe location for backup purposes.
How do I use the built-in sequencer in Imagine to create complex rhythmic patterns?
Click on the 'Sequencer' tab within Imagine. You can then either manually enter notes or record in real-time using your MIDI controller, and adjust the step length, velocity, and probability per step for each of the sequencer lanes.
I'm getting crackling or audio dropouts when using Imagine. What can I do?
Increase your DAW's audio buffer size (latency) in the audio settings. Also, ensure your CPU usage isn't maxed out by closing unnecessary applications and freezing tracks in your DAW.
What is the 'Acoustic Morphing' feature, and how can I use it to blend between different acoustic soundscapes?
The Acoustic Morphing feature allows you to seamlessly blend between two distinct acoustic instrument layers within Imagine's engine. Use the X/Y pad in the 'Acoustic Engine' section to control the blend of the two sound layers and create evolving textures.
