Hi there,I got an odd behaviour of µTonic. It keeps forgetting the registration every once in a while. I have to re-enter the serial that regularly, that I keep a txt containing the registration in my VST folder.Unfortunately I can't give more details on how to reproduce this.I hope this can be fixed soon or at least explained ;)Thanks in advance.-R.A.W.µTonic v3.0.1Win7 Professional x64energyXT 2.6 and Ableton Live 8.2.6Fredrik Lidström 2011-12-13T21:04:02ZWhen our products "forgets" the registration it usually has to do with an access problem to the registry (Windows) or preference file (Mac).Please check if If you make any changes to the preference dialog in MicroTonic, is that information kept if you restart? If not, then for some reason, you do not have access rights to write to the registry as needed. If you are running under a restricted account, you could try to relax the restrictions temporarily until you registered MicroTonic (like setting your self as administrator).If you want to look into the problem in more detail, here is the path to the registry key: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NuEdge Development\SonicChargeR.A.W. 2012-01-02T22:13:27ZHi Fredrik,although I'm on Win7 I always run anything with admin rights. I also disabled the UAC on my machine. The registry key you mentioned is set and has two binary values, "Data" and "ssc2salt" and I guess one is supposed to contain the encoded registration.I just opened µTonic again after looking in the registry and it was in demo mode again. I entered the reg details and the "Data" value changed.. I will keep track of it the next few weeks.The odd thing is that it doesn't loose the reg always, for a few weeks everything is fine and one day it's gone out of the blue. I'm an IT professional and know my computer well ;) - µTonic is the only VST that does this, even Synplant doesn't seem to have that problem.Btw. I would prefer if the reg data and config was written to a file anyway - though I'm on Win, I really hate the registry stuff. ;)R.A.W. 2012-01-07T23:58:34ZWell, this is odd..Today I once again had to enter the reg info... and this time twice in a row. I was working in Ableton, inserted the µTonic Drum Rack which uses the multi-out version and was asked for the reg again. I just didn't enter them but closed Ableton.Then I fired up energyXT (with admin rights, context menu run as admin), opened the single out version, entered the reg, restarted energyXT and tried multi and single out versions and everything was fine. Then I started Ableton again and inserted the drum rack and I was asked for the reg again???!! I entered the reg, this time right away in Ableton and now it seems to work... well, at last for a few days..Is there any problem when using the single and multi out versions in turns?Btw.: I exported the registry entries before and after entering the reg data. If that helps I can email that to you.[edit]OK, it seems it has something to do with using different DAWs. In Ableton everything was fine first, then I tested energyXT and it was in demo again... as if the reg just counts for one DAW at a time..I can reproduce that everytime now.. regging in eXT->MT doesn't work in Ableton and the other way around[/edit]Magnus Lidström 2012-01-08T00:11:13ZWeirdness. Would love to see the registry entries thanks. Send them to support@soniccharge.com.The only incompatibility that we know of which erases the registration data was between version 1 and version 2 of MicroTonic. But version 3 uses a totally separate "chunk" for its registration data.Just for safety measure, could you please double-check that you only have version 3.0.1 installed and no other MicroTonic*.dll on your entire hard-drive.Haven't you beta-tested for us by the way? I recognize your handle. I can't rule out that a beta-version of MicroTonic could corrupt the registration data even if it is just scanned and never launched.R.A.W. 2012-01-08T00:18:41ZHi Magnus,yes I beta-tested, but had XP back then. Now I got the version 3.0.1 final running on Win7 and no other MT dll is on my hard drive. I just sent the registry files.I really hope you can fix that because it starts to annoy me. ;)R.A.W. 2012-01-22T21:18:18ZHi there!I'm back from my vacation (skiing - I want to go back there right now ;)) and I just started Opera which remembered this forum tab.Any news on this? Did you get some clues from my files?R.A.W. 2012-02-14T21:44:47ZHi Magnus,any news?R.A.W. 2012-02-18T18:29:49ZAnything? It's been over 2 months now...Magnus Lidström 2012-02-20T05:58:24Z- R.A.W. wrote:Anything? It's been over 2 months now...Hey. I am really sorry. Time flies amazingly fast. I did check your registry data, but it didn't shed any new light on the matter. The only thing I could see was that the "demo dump" was unregistered and the "full dump" was registered. Apart from that all registry data was identical. It looks like MicroTonic has just unregistered itself, and the only occasion where that can happen is when it fails to validate the registration key. Either because the key data is invalid or because the "system identifier" has changed. Neither of which makes much sense to me under the circumstances you describe.My plan was to finish a MicroTonic 3.0.2 beta that you could try. As far as I remember I haven't changed anything concerning registration codes but the betas include traces that are helpful. However, as MT 3.0.2 was put on hold for some more urgent work, the only thing I can offer you right now is the beta of MT 3.0.1 that will send us the trace logs.I need to change the expiration date though, which means a few hours of rebuilding (I know, crazy). I'll get back to you tomorrow if I have a beta-build that works.R.A.W. 2012-02-20T09:52:40ZHi Magnus, thanks for looking into this. I just sent you a PM.R.A.W. 2012-02-23T00:49:05ZHi everyone and especially Magnus and Fredrik,thanks to great support including a special logging build for me, we figured it out eventually.It was (of course ;)) a system setting at my end: energyXT was running in Win XP compatibility mode (don't know why, didn't notice..), while all my other DAWs where running as native Win 7 applications. That made MT3 calculate different computer IDs for eXT and the other DAWs causing the need to reg MT3 everytime I fired it up inside eXT.So, thanks again for looking into this and figuring it out!!Milan aka R.A.W.done-and-ready-to-be-closed *Magnus Lidström 2012-02-23T02:27:29ZLesson of the day: don't use Windows XP compatibility mode.Still bad that MicroTonic (and all our products, and Addictive Drums as well for that matter) is sensitive about this. I will try to figure out a good way to get rid of this particular registry key for the computer id calculation. I would like to avoid having everyone forced to re-register all of our products just because we need to modify our computer id algorithm.anonymous 2012-04-02T21:21:19Zhey guys,I'm new on the forum but I have the exact same problem with my microtonic. I understand that you guys figured it out but from the messages here I cant really say what i have to do to make it stop. can someone please explain me how i can get rid of this ?EDIT: I tried the compatability by the way and that was not the problem in my case.thanks in advanceR.A.W. 2012-04-02T23:05:33Z- Iwan van der Wijk wrote:EDIT: I tried the compatability by the way and that was not the problem in my case.well, then i can't help in this case. on my machine it was the compatibility setting of one of the DAWs. if that doesn't help on your end, it has to be something different.anonymous 2012-04-03T22:34:59Z- R.A.W. wrote:well, then i can't help in this case. on my machine it was the compatibility setting of one of the DAWs. if that doesn't help on your end, it has to be something different.yeah i tried to look into my fl studio files and it wasnt in compatiblity mode. doe you think it may be because of the settings of uTonic?and do you have any id if i can just uninstall uTonic and reinstall it. or will i then loose all my sounds in my projects?hope one of the admins can shed a little bit more light into this for me.Richard Manning 2019-12-24T17:37:36ZI've had to authenticate again to my current computer where I've authenticated several times in the past.

What is Cyclone?Sonic Charge Cyclone is a free software emulation of the Yamaha TX16W sampler from 1988. It was written to celebrate that 20 years have passed since the first release of Typhoon for TX16W. Typhoon is an alternative operating system for the TX16W and offers lots of improvements over the original Yamaha operating system. Typhoon was developed by Magnus Lidström who later formed Sonic Charge. The last version of Typhoon is the free Typhoon 2000 and this is the version that runs in Cyclone.How does it work?Cyclone is a true hardware emulator. It simulates all the important circuits of the Yamaha TX16W, including the main 68000 CPU, the DSP circuits, the DACs, the ADC and the floppy drive. Much effort has been made to create authentic simulations of all sound generating circuits. You can expect Cyclone to sound 99.9% identical to a real hardware TX16W and it runs the exact same software as a real hardware TX16W.Where do I find sounds?Except for the demo sounds on the Typhoon disk we have chosen not to distribute any sounds with the Cyclone installation. You should be able to find links to sound archives in other posts on this forum.How do I load sounds?Unless the sounds that you have found are in .fxb or .aupreset format you need to load them manually from disk image files.Follow these steps to load disk images that contain Typhoon sounds:Click the drive to select an .img file. (This does not load anything. It just inserts the virtual disk into the virtual drive.) [System Setup] [Utility] [7] or [+1] until you get to [Load *] [>] to [Go] and [Enter] Wait and follow any instructions on the display. Click [Performance Select], [Voice Edit] or [Wave Edit] and [+1]/[-1] to browse the sounds.Use the same steps for loading Yamaha disks except that you should choose [8.Import] instead of [7.Load *].Notice that some disk images do not have Performances. Some don't even have Voices, just Waves. Furthermore, [Load *] and [Import] do not automatically clear the memory before loading the new sounds. To empty the TX16W entirely, use [System Setup] [Utility] [4.Items] [Delete] [2=All] [Go] or simply click the power button to reboot the TX16W.I have a zip file containing TX16W files, how can I load them?Typhoon cannot access files on your computer directly. You need to create a disk image with the files you want to load. Here is one way:Unzip the .zip if necessary. Go to If there are already files in the box on the page, click remove all. Drag and drop the files you want to load to the big box page on the page. Click the smaller box at the top to enter a name for the floppy. Click bake .img file to bake and download the disk image file.In OS X it is also possible to mount .img files directly in Finder by simply double-clicking them.Why is this so complicated?Remember that we are emulating a piece of music machinery from 1988 that runs an operating system that was written between 1991 and 1993 (with some final changes in 1999). All the restrictions of the original machine are there and the software (Typhoon 2000) has not been modified in any way to benefit from almost 20 years of technology advances. Regard Cyclone as a time travel portal to an era from the past. An era of monster dinosaur samplers.Why is loading so slow?The emulated floppy drive is "infinitely" fast, but the emulated 68000 CPU (that runs Typhoon) is not. It runs at a fixed rate of 8Mhz to ensure stability and correct audio. The downside to this is that it restricts the transfer rate from the floppy drive too. Notice that you can save the entire state of the machine including all sounds currently in memory to .fxb or .aupreset files. These files load "infinitely" fast.Can the software be improved?It depends on what sort of improvements we are talking about. Typhoon 2000 is the last version of Typhoon and in practice it can not be updated. The last time it was compiled was in 1999, using a home made build environment on a Mac that was already old at the time. Recreating this build environment on a modern machine would be a huge, if not impossible task. The emulator (Cyclone) on the other hand can of course be updated.Can I use the computer keyboard?Yes. In most hosts you can use the numerical keys, enter, -, cursor up / down (for +1 / -1), cursor left, right and F1 to F8 (for the function buttons beneath the display). Sometimes you need to click the plug-in window to activate it before the keys work.Can it sample?Yes, provided that your DAW can route audio to an instrument plug-in. The sampling quality is very close to an original TX16W. Don't forget to turn up the input gain knob on the front panel.What does the black button next to Voice Edit do?This button says Filter Edit on a real TX16W, but it does not serve any purpose in Typhoon.Is there a standalone version?Not with this release, sorry. Only VST (and AU on Mac). But I can recommend VST Host for PC ( ) and VSTLord for Mac ( ).Can it run original Yamaha OS?Sorry, no. The emulator is complete enough to run Typhoon 2000 only. Running the original Yamaha OS would require including ROM that is copyrighted. Typhoon includes an import function that can load original Yamaha sound disks.So, how do I use this thing, really?The place to go for answers is the original Typhoon user guide and the Typhoon 2000 update addendum. If these documents do not help, feel free to post your question here on the forum.Borialis 2013-12-31T03:56:33ZWow!

Perhaps it is not even possible. Will check into this when I have some more time. I know how to do it in Live and Logic.It is actually possible to configure Cyclone to show up as an effect instead. You just need to put a special config file next to the DLL. That would enable sampling for sure, but I am not sure how useful it is to have Cyclone as an effect in Cubase.Borialis 2013-12-31T04:25:39ZCertainly welcome! it made the TX16W, a whole new machine back then. Sounded great!I'm using Cubase 7.5 on Mac OS 10.8.4.Making it also an effect could definitely work. (receives input from sends) Especially if it still receives midi input of course.I have a few things I'm going to try. I'll let you know how it goes. ;)One is a way to side-chain some stubborn compressors with quad inputs etc.I haven't done that trick in a while, mostly because I use Cubase side-chain friendly plugs, but I'll try a few thingsto see if I can get to Cyclone's audio input. Markos Polydorou 2013-12-31T06:05:37ZHey Magnus!Thanks for the free download.

All good.Happy New Year!JackBorialis 2013-12-31T08:44:18ZLeft Cubase and had a total out of body, time traveling experience, in Logic. :D Works fine there because the AU plugin could side chain a bus, hardware i/o, etc.All you have to do is put the side chain on the VST and the next version will be perfect to sample within Cubase. :DThat's been my main DAW, even before I purchased the TX16W, so I'd love to see that, hopefully, get sorted out if possible.Man, I forgot how engrossed you can get Sampling, setting up Groups and The Performances in this thing. LOLTricky, but once you start back at it, it's like old hat for the most part. Amazed how it sounds. Almost IDENTICAL to the unit. That really shocked me. True hardware grit all the way! Kudos!Well old friend, I'm off to mess around with Cyclone (in Logic) some more before bed and hope to really get productive with it in Cubase, sometime soon maybe? ;)Thanks Magnus, and congratulations on Sonic Charge as well!

E.g. it would not be possible to use external floppy images. In theory we could convert those to the rack extension patch format. But then there is also the issue of the GUI, e.g. the operating system (Typhoon) generates custom characters for the 80x2 LCD display. Also, we only have a few fixed fonts to choose from so the display wouldn't look anything like a real TX. I am afraid that doing a full RE port would require a lot of work and would not end up being cool enough anyhow.- Johan Brodd wrote:There is a bug you might wanna dive into: When saving a project in FL Studio the audio stutters like crazy, even if I have low latency on.Ah, I can see why that happens. Saving the state of Cyclone requires the virtual machine to halt until the entire machine, incl. CPU state, 6MB wave memory etc has been frozen into a persistent binary format. While this is happening I cannot allow the machine to run or the saved state could be corrupt (this is called a "race condition" in computer terms). For this particular product I could not find any other solution but to halt the audio thread during this operation.I'll have a look if it is possible to speed up the "freezing" process so that the halt will be short enough not to interrupt audio. Might be.Magnus Lidström 2014-01-01T12:38:46Z- Borialis wrote:Making it also an effect could definitely work.

Is this due to the hardware emulation ? or it is something that can be reduced or nulled ?That is correct. For the operating system to receive MIDI properly without data loss and with sort of consistent timing, I am simulating a classic serial MIDI port with 31250 bps. This means it takes a few ms just for the MIDI data to get transmitted (and the more simultaneous notes and CC messages, the slower). Also, Typhoon requires a little processor time to trigger the notes, but I believe the MIDI transfer rate is the main problem.Which host are you using?bobby 2014-01-02T21:43:50ZHi- Thanks for this! I have been using Typhoon since original, and my TX gets used a bit. I never thought this would become reality :) I have a Korg Monopoly voice to share, in FXB format, saved from Cyclone.

I think much of the character comes from the interesting interpolation technique, but I guess one could design an fx plug-in so that you could sample at any arbitrary rate (not just 16, 25, 33, 50) and use the emulated interpolation for the output.I might just do it, who knows. :) But not until Synplant 2 is done. Nothing else now. :)Technical rambling: TX16W has a fixed 400khz output sample rate and linear interpolation for pitching whole octaves only. It then holds samples for exact pitch within octaves (essentially changing the length of individual sample points). The output filters are pretty sloppy with only 24dB per octave (18dB for the individual outputs). Sampling filters are much more impressive with eight order Chebychev design. Also, the main output DACs are not linear but use a floating point 16-bit resolution (the individual output DAC is on the other hand 12-bit linear).Magnus Lidström 2014-01-08T15:00:40Z(Cyclone FX sounds a bit like this idea: .

The Cyclone shows up as a VST effect in Reaper, and if I set it to sampling mode I can route sound through it.It seems a little pointless though, because I can't really hear that it affects the sound in any way, not even if I set the sampling frequency as low as possible. It sounds as if the sound you hear when sampling doesn't go through the emulated A/D converters on the Cyclone so it deosn't color the sound in any way.Guitaruby 2014-02-03T13:24:37ZHi Niklas,My friend has Reaper and the cyclone vst shows up as an effect/vst.It's hard to say if the sound is altered when passing audio through Cyclone FX.Sometimes I think it does and other times it doesn't.

The audio monitor on the original TX16W is a simple wire from the input jack to the output jack, so no coloration takes place there and that is the way I am emulating it too. The only purpose of making an fx version is to enable sampling in the hosts that do not support routing audio to virtual instruments.stools 2014-02-04T18:14:37ZMagnus,my first sampler end of the 80s was the TX16W - I am very impressed of this emulation. Even if it does not make me crazy to navigate with Thypoon I would be glad to have direct single wav import with loop recognizion and simple one layer looped multisample SF2 or SFZ import per drag&drop. Of course this needs to be limited to 32 samples, 6 MB ect.This whole img thing is kind of cool :D , but I would like to take advantage of A) the great sound emulation you provide and B) of modern sample data handling.Do you think you will add some features like this?Best Regards,stoolsJim Evans 2014-02-16T06:37:08ZMany thanks for this. I have been a typhoon user since the beginning. For the last 4 years I've been working the disk change sensor on my THIRD TX16W with a pocket knife each boot up. I retired it about a year ago as being too clumsy for live performance,(because of the disk drive) and tried out the TX16Wx vst. This works, but I missed my original setup that I've been using for YEARS. I've been controling it with a midi guitar since the Korg z3 came out... The other day I bought a Fishman triple play and as of a few hours ago, I have my original Typhoon setup back again, just like it was in 2000, and NOW IT'S WIRELESS TOO. I LOVE IT.

The reason why you can't read them directly is because Yamaha sabotaged some sectors in their floppy format. (I believe this was some form of pointless copy protection.)What you need to do is open your Terminal and run a command that will make a floppy image but skip over bad sectors. The command looks like this:sudo dd if=/dev/disk1 of=/YamahaDisk.img conv=noerror,sync"disk1" assumes you have no mounted disks except your internal MacBook disk, so make sure you unmount any virtual floppy images before running. You can also try "disk2" etc if "disk1" doesn't seem to work."/YamahDisk.img" is the name of the output floppy image file (/ means it will be put into your home folder)Let me know if it works for you!SashaK 2014-06-20T16:38:25ZHi!

But I have several questions, and if I don't bother you and you have time - help me please:Is thereany difference in character of sound between samples that I'm loading from floppy and samples that we can sampling directly to Cyclone? If yes, then:I have problem with "Sampling" function. I can't understand and have no idea how I can route audio signal to Cyclone. I tried some midi routings, but there's no result. Trick with renaming doesn't work too: Cyclone FX appears in the VST list, but like instrument. And, If I understand correctly this trick with renaming .dll is just compromise for DAWs, which can't route audio signal to insrument and when we use it like FX, we passed some stages of original processing and as a result we lose character of original unit, right? If so, could you tell me how i can sampling with original, not-renaming dll?

This was really nothing more than a proof of concept; the PowerBook may or may not find its way into my everyday sound design environment, but it helps to have a backup sampling machine if, God forbid, my primary machine needs maintenance.Ben Fuhrer 2016-10-09T16:44:34ZCan the Cyclone Vsti be used to actually control a hardware tx16w via midi/sysex, like an editor/librarian, etc. ?Magnus Lidström 2016-10-10T12:03:23ZCan the Cyclone Vsti be used to actually control a hardware tx16w via midi/sysex, like an editor/librarian, etc. ?Not really. Typhoon has very little sysex support and Cyclone doesn't send midi output at all because it was too much of a headache to implement properly in the emulator. (VSTs transmit midi as a list of discrete events while the TX16W transmits a stream of arbitrary serial data. It's perfectly doable, but just not so interesting imho.).What you can do of course, provided that you own a 3.5" floppy drive, is to move work between the hardware and software TX16W simply by copying the files to and from the virtual disk images.tonalaxis 2017-02-02T10:29:49ZCould you do an RE version now?? ;)Koshdukai 2017-02-03T11:08:59Z- tonalaxis wrote:Could you do an RE version now?? ;)I'm a bit curious as to what a RE version would be, since Typhoon's strength is really the hardware emulation where Cyclone (untouched) runs... which allows importing actual TX/Cyclone files, none of which are possible to import into a RE.Are you asking for a regular sampler RE just with the D/A+aliasing+filter TX quirkiness and a few of the more characteristic UX features of Cyclone but applied to regular audio samples?Because that's almost like a rewriting of everything (Typhoon and Cyclone).tonalaxis 2017-02-03T11:20:45Z- Koshdukai wrote:- tonalaxis wrote:Could you do an RE version now?? ;)I'm a bit curious as to what a RE version would be, since Typhoon's strength is really the hardware emulation where Cyclone (untouched) runs... which allows importing actual TX/Cyclone files, none of which are possible to import into a RE.Are you asking for a regular sampler RE just with the D/A+aliasing+filter TX quirkiness and a few of the more characteristic UX features of Cyclone but applied to regular audio samples?Because that's almost like a rewriting of everything (Typhoon and Cyclone).It was only meant to be a joke.

Can't find the information anywhere. Thanks.Edit: Answered by Melkor, thanks!Most patches have modwheel and pitch already assigned.You can assign CCs via the "System Setup - 2. X-cntrls" And"System Setup - 3.

Anyone still using the awesome Cyclone in 2019? I have a MacBookPro running macOS 10.14.15. And Cyclone fails to boot, plugin loads normally, I can see the UI, but "LCD" display is empty. I think it cannot find the image file or something. I tried to point it manually with Cyclone Config.txt -> bootImage: Typhoon 2000.img, but had no luck. My VST host is Tracktion.I also have a PC/Windows laptop running Reaper, and it works fine there. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for such an awesome piece of software!Christian Dominique Rangé 2021-02-25T02:44:53ZCyclone seems to cause Live 11 to crash. Shame, cuz I love using it...Any plans for an update correcting this?gentleclockdivider gentleclockdivider 2021-04-28T10:51:27ZNo luck here using the back image file ( floppy baker ) Nothing happens upon loading the disk image in cyclone i'm on win 10 Udbhav Gupta 2021-09-05T22:25:29ZAlso running into crashes with Ableton 11, any suggestions would be very welcome, I loveeee Cyclone. Earth Stink 2021-11-30T06:21:19Zfound the review eheheh ://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1994_articles/jun94/typhoontx16w.htmlTobias Vagman 2022-01-07T09:30:03ZCyclone is awesome. I use it to resample synths inside Reason 11 ( where the routing in to sampling is very easy). I updated my Mac OS to Catalina, then Cyclone would crash all the time. Works fine on Windows though. Could this be fixed ? There is total revival for older sampling units. I could even pay for this great plugin.Samuel Shirokobrod 2022-12-13T01:02:34ZHi everyone. How can I use the mic input to sample in FL Studio? It's not working and I am using the input menu on the top right.You need to be signed in to post a reply
