Brief feature-list:
- Two generators, sine and noise with dedicated volume envelopes
- Dedicated pitch envelope for sine generator
- Colour control for the noise generator
- Noise generator can frequency modulate sine generator
- Dedicated morph-able resonant filter for noise generator
- Dedicated "stutter" envelope for noise generator, for claps etc
- Adjustable shape (or "slope") for all envelopes
- Distortion and parametric EQ control for each sound
- Twelve sounds that can be freely mapped over an octave.
Current known issues:
- The sound selector patches sometimes bug out when they "flash" upon note-on.
- High CPU usage (about 9% for four active sounds on Athlon64 3200+). This was ok until yesterday, when I due to a flaw in my design had to remove a whole bunch of optimisations. Will keep on working on this.
And I'm thinking of adding a pan control for each sound, plus that it'd be nice if one could apply some stereo width somehow to the sound. I'm still thinking about that one, making the noise generator truly stereo is not a good option due to the increased CPU usage it would cause.
Anyway! If you're interested in helping out beta-testing this and later maybe building some kits, let me know. I reserve the rights to freely choose which ones to grant beta-tester status!
If I do want you to beta-test, I'll mail you the vst and exe versions of this and then you can post feedback here in this thread.Let me know!
Yo!

New version has been sent out to the beta testers!
Changes in version 050 from 040:
- per-sound pan
- multiple outputs (3 stereo outs), per-sound output selector
- room for 16 kits and kit-switcher (standard SM preset manager, but still)
- stutter-bugs fixed
- click on lower section of piano keys to trigger notes
- fixed buggy "shape" knob behaviour (sound got cut off if shape at its lowest setting)
- added velocity mod targets: filter cutoff, pitch env amount, volume
- gui layout changes
As usual, let me know of any issues!
