You go right ahead and bitch. Be an iconoclast.

Your freeware models are incredible. The Nature series,The algorithmic... nevermind. All your work is fascinating and unique, inspiring and a damn lot of it is free.
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.
I was going to go on a rant about consumerism and the perceived value of high price stuff and ego etc., but maybe I'll just say I wish you worked for UVI and would add the Chaos oscillator to Falcon. Can you get your code into commercial products somehow? It would be good for the entire community.

This latest effort of yours , a freeware beta test is extremely powerful.

And yes it's all bullshit. (am I allowed to swear?)

I insist upon it. The world is far too mundane and dry without a good swear. :D

BTW xoxos... I'm working on something terrible and hideous with Lyric. It's an inspiring bit of weirdness, your linguistic conjurer vst; and useful, as I've found my own lyrics a bit too predictable and angry of late. :party:

I have no idea what I'm doing with this synth. It is good and I like it.

cheers :) i see myself as a hack and a democratiser of methods, where i am able, and a hypocrite, of course. the small amount of authentic advancement i've rendered is a function of being in this role. once upon time it wasn't so bad to say things, but nowadays this community is so saturated by commercial interests that the "persisting enthusiasts without vested interests" are like rare and precious birds. i expect more sensible enthusiasts gravitate toward avoiding the whoremongery. being emphatic about the deleterious nature of competitive paradigms can earn serious and unanticipated retribution, i recommend leaving those exchanges to the vessels already smoking and speed toward a less contested and more easily gained objective in any campaigning for cultural redaction.

no seriously i've always thought software synthesis had an immense potential for culture and that commercialism is the fastest way to supress it. by 2017, what have we learned, as a society, about sound and theory? not a whit, beyond that you can buy it. (and so goes 15 years of pedantry on my part.. being able to summate "it's good and i like it" really frees you up to make Actual Progress)

smacking together another vst burger along this line, maybe even the promised poly version of "outer", for anyone who checks periodically. was mucking with 3d forms again yesterday evening. for anyone pursuants short on time, a series of 2d rotations, where they can suffice, has the benefit that a (unit) 2d rotation can be immediately used as a new pair of rotation coefficients. both 3d matrices and quaternions have real "computational inconveniences" in synthesis applications where coefficients are updated rapidly and the output of rotation needs to be used in some interesting, generative way, at least my findings to date. (i'm new with quats/versors tho.. i use 3x3 matrix in graphics as they are more efficient for rotation.)

i know i'm supposed to be congenial and nonchallenging when championing a product/technology release, but ..editing this last paragraph in response to codestation for succinctness.. i've been engaged with "procedural generation" for decades (first lyrical music engine, 1994) and while fun and great and all, there are "important factors" one may not realise until decades later, that "aren't fun". there is at this point already a half hour "paranormal investigation documentary" about the shit i've been through. no, i'm not ready to share that with the wonderful people at kvr. you don't ever want to be this person. i'm honest, impossible to believe, but honest.. mystery is in every part of the universe. configuring it to reveal itself, is like configuring an open invitation some unpleasant parties may choose to accept. my moral compass still places some potential in the act of sharing. society makes this very difficult, probably a good thing. if none of this makes sense to you or seems like pretense or delusion, be grateful, and don't think about it too much. there will still be plenty to do :)

I have actually learned quite a lot from these forums, but I cannot dare to release a synth the way you do without professional marketing involving suites and ties. You know a professional looking gui, a serious website are oddly important in spite of the fact that they do not contribute anything to the sound. Professionally designed presets are another thing people seem to like. Are you sure a lack of these did not contribute to the recent silence you have observed in your sales? I can appreciate being brave, but you know, this is how you make a living.

stratum, you're new here :) the subject is too depthy to attempt any meaningful explanation in public, especially with examples, instances. i'm alright with taking a lot of abuse, more than you probably are capable of understanding, despite your apparent ..reasonableness (for convenience). but i do still have interests in the world. any detriment i take at this point is transferred to people i care about.

short answer is "you're probably right but it wasn't always like this, and don't run your mouth about my guis". ;) i'm still in 2003 where we're trying to potentiate and edify. a problematic anachronism i'm happy to perpetuate. money has always been a slap in the face. but definately not a way to make a living. we are so far away from living in this age. rather than post helpful advice in my threads, if you wanta know, send me a pm and i'll send you the link so i don't have to endure the inevitable backlash from speaking truth around these parts.

i kinda like the product release threads to be about the product, or method :)

No I'll just say that he is probably right. I was just trying to say that people buy gibson les pauls, not for any logical reason, it has a nice flame maple top and was played by many of their favorite artists; but it brakes the bank and brakes your back (in the non-idiomatic literal sense).

I don't understand synthesis well enough to fully appreciate this but I did manage to get some sounds by playing around with the controls. Does the main oscillator sort of explode and become a noise source at a certain extreme setting? It looks like that from the video in the first post.

ja. increased coupling, as you surely know = increased activity, dynamism, motility, caustics, harmonics, stuff. the filter on the feedback path allows you to focus that reactivity where you want it.

The oscillators used in synths are copied from ancient analog devices, and the waveforms used in them are easy to generate using analog circuits. They have interesting properties such as having a lot of harmonics that you can filter out, that's the basis of subtractive synthesis. In a way they are sensible designs that have been copied by everybody and overused. Software can do almost anything and does not suffer from a similar difficulty of implementation, so why not try something different. In a nutshell, that's what a "chaos oscillator" is. It's something unorthodox and heretical.
