Feature Request: Key-tracking / Key-following via MIDI, including pitch bend signal

[@UVIofficial]

Hi there - your request has been forwarded to our devs :)

[@leonfriedemann9151]

@@UVIofficial than maybe with attack time option. 🤔

[@BartekEVH]

@@UVIofficial Please add function midi learn on knobs in Shade. I Very need it. Thanks.

[@MathHammer]

I see this request was implemented by UVI. It opens up the plug-in significantly for creative uses.

[@BartekEVH]

@@UVIofficial Feature request: Shade has not a midi learn function. I would love for this feature to be present in Shade as in Rotary ect. I beg you to do it in the new version Shade. I really want to use Midi CC to control Shade parameters. This is trivial for you to do. :) I count on your understanding, it gives joy to us users. It can't be that Fabfilter Volcano 3 has something so important and Shade doesn't. Aftertouch to control frequency modulation is great!! Do it I beg you!!!!! :)

Please elaborate? What do you mean "inside there?"

[@Raddland]

Why has it taken someone so long to do this??? Great work UVI!

[@CRASS2047]

Damn, UVI makes some next level stuff

[@josephjensen8436]

This is seriously the best plug-in in the uvi bundle that I've tried so far! 🎉❤

[@Baphometrix]

Home. Run. Well done! Now give us this same workflow and flexibility with a good selection of time-domain FX too!

[@gabrielbertrand-gagnon9011]

Good job UVI Team!

[@jonathanpotts5466]

So many awesome tools available nowadays!

[@Baphometrix]

Feature Request: We need to be able to set the slope of the spectrum analyzer in Shade. Many of us electronic and pop producers prefer to see a 3.0 db/octave slope so that pink noise looks "flat across". Shade seems to using a hard-coded 4.5 db/octave slope.

[@Baphometrix]

@Louis Couka Thanks for the thoughtful response! (I'm definitely buying Shade regardless.) A 3.0 slope (pink noise looks "flat across" aka horizontal) is pretty standard among electronic and pop producers because those genres have a brighter overall spectral balance than modern rock/alternative/country/etc. (Which all tend to prefer a 4.5 slope these days.) If you just change it to 3.0 by default, you'll alienate the producers/engineers who prefer a 4.5 slope. Best approach is add at least 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 to a config menu, or alternatively just let users enter exactly the slope value they want (like Voxengo and a few other plugin makers do).

[@LandOfBits]

i was about to tell the same baphy :)

[@petersvan7880]

@Louis Couka Yes, also vow for 3dB/oct. Can be used to integrate close-miked samples in a hall.

[@Baphometrix]

@Louis Couka I see that! So many excellent enhancements in 1.10. THANK YOU. Shade has 100% replaced FabFilter Pro-Q3 in my workflow. Shade is now my standard EQ as well as my creative EQ. Y'all have nailed it!

[@MarulaMusic]

@@Baphometrix Ditto... first plugin I'm reaching for for EQ and filtering tasks, even gate and compression at times now.

[@GTSongwriter]

Product is on sale, but hasn't been updated in 3 years? Still version 1.2 on the website?

[@marcotronic]

wow, excellent overview and mindblowing plugin. As usual with a very well thought out User Interface. You guys are geniuses!

[@chriswerner5169]

Thank you for the brains behind this filter plugin. It open up a way to handle music / sounds in a very creative, innovative way

[@MarulaMusic]

Really loving this... would be great to get mouse wheel assignments for the Q values as well.

[@Triumphinchrist1]

Hmmm no wonder it takes longer to do a recording these days than the analog days of Spool Tape ! One can spend a day on this ! Great job.

[@leonfriedemann9151]

For me one thing that is missing, is a Option for high resolution analyser. Right now when you have a sine wave in the sub frequencies it looks, like you have frequencies all over the place like from 20-80hz. Except that realy tempted to buy, since The Filter options are very nice.

[@TNDNCY]

Absolutely brilliant! ❤️

[@20hz82]

Cool! Please add pitch follower!

[@UVIofficial]

Thanks for sharing your feature request. We forwarded it to the devs.

[@manthan_]

it is a great plugin and very light on CPU but the one thing that disappointed me is that the default low pass filter is not transparent as it boosts frequency around the filter. I tried other lowpass filter types too but none of them were transparent by default and some of them don't go beyond 24db slope. So please make the default low pass filter as clean as possible because right now it ruins the frequency balance.

[@ZiwaHD]

Leave it to UVI to create monster plugins 😂🤣 . guys didn’t think I needed another EQ at all 😱well then here goes !!!

[@adamsmith7058]

Reminds me of Apulsoft Apqualizer, in terms of the modulation and effects stuff you can do, except maybe a bit more advanced. Although, I haven't seen the whole video, Apqualizer allows you tune the filters polyphonically and play them via midi, which so far this can't do. I love Apqulaizer and use it all the time, if this expands on that idea, I'll probably pick this up too.

[@mikelo303]

Just when I bought other eq yesterday, damn. This thing is way better.

[@vicnest]

Craziest EQ of 2020. Loving it!

[@TwstedTV]

1. - Would love to see EQ Match, where people can take a source import its EQ curve into Shade and then match its EQ with a production track and also save as many source EQ curves as users want. 2. - Tilt EQ would also be nice. 3. - There are other features I would like, but for now ill just post these two. :)

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

I hope that it's on sale during the holidays.

[@Teawhyelleeeare]

Bought Shade on day one of my trial; thanks for another wonderful creation UVI

[@Teawhyelleeeare]

@Louis Couka Hi Louis! Thanks for your reply :) I trust this finds you thriving and well. In the most simple terms, I am thinking of things like cytomic's/serum's L/B/H, L/N/H, L/P/H, and B/P/N filters, which allow one to "morph" between a Low-pass filter, a Band-pass, and a High-pass, for example. The same concepts (and basically the same filters) are utilized in Ableton's "auto filter" device. This is a crucial filter type in some specific areas of my sound design, and it actually surprised me to not see them in Shade, as they are so useful and compatible with the spirit of Shade. As a more complex request, I would love to be able to "morph" between any of the existing filter types/presets, though I am not sure how crazy the maths would be for something like that ;) I've personally never seen it done before, but it would absolutely be a dream come true! Anyway, short-term, I would be positively thrilled to see "simple" morphing filter types added to shade. If implemented, I believe you will have truly created the most powerful, usable, and aesthetically pleasing creative filtering/eq-ing device to date :)

[@aneri72]

I can see similarities to Bitwig modulators workflow here, and it would be an absolute dream to have that modulation workflow in Falcon. Please UVI, consider this :-)

[@lectromic3285]

versatile effect. like it. uvi👍

[@themarcos150591]

When will plugins designers understand how important delay in the LFO is? Besides that, best thing since Pro Q3 . And many thanks for creating the tutorial with markers

[@themarcos150591]

@Louis Couka No, I mean a control to hold the LFO to take effect for some miliseconds/seconds.

[@gothjim325]

Fantastic.

[@andivax]

Amazing tutorial! How about Linear mode?

[@UVIofficial]

Thanks for sharing your feature request. We forwarded it to the devs.

[@MrSergSILVER]

Полностью согласен про линейный режим. Ещё бы пиано ролл - вообще идеально было бы! А будете ли стрим делать по этому плагину (очень нравятся Ваши обзоры)? :)

[@destaana955]

That randomizer needs to be in falcon.

[@KyleInNYC]

Oh, a coiuple more things as Im playing with it. Like most (all?) EQs, this plug in doesnt have a dry/wet mix control. But with all the tempo synced effects, you might want to include one. Also, while you're doing so much awesome modulation, it'd be nice to have a volume control so the the modulators can do gating effects too. And lastly, itd be good to ship with more arpeggiator-like modulation shape presets. Look at Reason's Alligator for inspiration. This plug would be like that times a billion. Thanks very much. I think you have a real winner here, and you could expand the presets and applications of the modulation sections into something even more formidable, as amazing as this already is.

[@KyleInNYC]

@Louis Couka THANK YOU! for the mix control info. As for volume, i want to be able to modulate it for gating effects.

[@popwa6977]

[@ThePdeHav]

Great video explaining this plugin which I am about to buy. Forgive me for being pedantic but I think you might need to visit a guitar tech as your guitar's intonation requires a bit of work.

[@danwool]

Very cool, but I think UVI missed a trick. I was hoping for tunable resonant filters like the Omnisphere effect "Quad Resonator". I've been looking for something like that for a long time

[@adamsmith7058]

Apulsoft Apqualizer can do that. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp64gIyaeLueZqM&ab_channel=apulSoft

[@adamsmith7058]

I have a feeling, once UVI see that, they'll add it as a feature in an upgrade.

[@UVIofficial]

Comb filters we implemented are tunable filters, however you can't control the level of each harmonic independently. We would need to add another filter for that, but this could be interesting. Thanks for the idea :)

Amazing!

[@djorig]

I will have this one day

[@KyleInNYC]

This looks amazing. I will be buying it today. I do have a couple requests tho. First, why do you call resonance "Q"? Traditionally Q means what you call "Q width" and what you call Q is traditionally called resonance. Not a big deal now that I know how to translate, but maybe consider that change? Also, it'd be amazing to have a library of different filter types - more than one 24db/octave model for example. Look at how Omnisphere does it? Your interface, and modulation routings are astounding - second to none. It'd be great if they controlled more filter models, even of the same type Thanks very much!

[@Zistheone2]

How do you open shade? I activated my account but I can't open it on the UVI Portal. It just says "Installed"

[@stayftheattic]

Too bad it doesn't support VST3 (yet). I'm sure every Cubase user would be super dissapointed when they find out this plugin isn't running in VST3, which makes the Sidechain functionality of the plugin basically useless. And I think this plugin shines when put in Sidechain Trigger mode. So please UVI, create a VST3 for this as well. We neeed it :'(

[@MarulaMusic]

Yeah, this is amazing but the lack of vst3 is a huge oversight. Hopefully something they'll add soon.

[@UVIofficial]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Our devs are investigating.

[@stayftheattic]

VST3 is now supported. Awesome! Version 1.0.1 But... it's not working properly yet. Hopefully another update will fix that soon. :) I'm hopeful again.

Hello! As Shade features more than 128 automations, you need to use the Configure Mode of Live. You can find more info here >> www.ableton.com/en/manual/working-with-instruments-and-effects/#plug-in-configure-mode

[@amusicians2cents]

Does it have keyfollow (keytracking(?)) function (like synth's filters have)?

Versatile, but not efficient. Too much clicking to do simple things like setting a dynamic EQ.

[@FrancisBourre]

To be frank, I don't care about all the possibilities, if I cannot do simple things efficiently. UVI has lot of qualities, but has problems to deliver fast and intuitive user experience. Just to mention one, Falcon is a good example.
