Fine tune only goes +/- 50 cents, so not so great for sync-sweeps. He wants to perform wide sweeps without the snapping to exact semitones as the semitone knobs do. Normally I'd suggest doing this by assigning mod wheel or another modulation controller to the oscillator's frequency modulation source, but often we want to use the mod wheel for vibrato or other purposes and not everybody has expression pedals, pressure or other modulation inputs to assign to this purpose. (Not everybody has a mod wheel, for that matter!)

It should be fairly easy to do (I THINK). And funny, a friend of mine was commenting on the semitone quantization the other day, he didn't understand that it was an intentional feature, he thought it was a limitation.

Because if you want 3 synced to 1 you can rearrange the oscillators so 2 is doing what 3 did.

And if you want both 2 and 3 synced to 1, just sync 3 to 2 which is synced to 1, right?

Also, we needed to avoid sync loops. That's why osc 1 has no sync source.

Did you know you can sync to noise? (And if you do, the OSC 1 Pulse Width control becomes the noise level that causes sync to retrigger. There used to be a label for that, not sure what happened to it. Should re-instate that, at the very least in the tooltips, as it's non-obvious. I also just realized that PWM doesn't modulate it, and it could. So I should add that too.)

You can make some interesting "Geiger counter" like sounds this way.

I just added that to the list though, on thinking about it I see no topological reason why Osc 3 can't have a 3 way sync switch (1, 2, OFF).

I really like the GUI of Poly-Ana and I hope that it remains a one screen synth with all controls right in front of you. This has become my favorite synth to program and the easiest for me to understand.

Please, for the love of god, do not add anything stupid like a mod matrix. the way modulation works now is perfect.

Don't change the GUI. Despite some criticism this synth is a lot of fun to program.

Any idea when we can expect Poly-Ana 2 to be released?

The current GUI is the reason some people won't even consider buying PolyAna. It's been said time after time over the years.

In my opinion added features and an easier to read GUI will make PolyAna more fun to program and attract new customers. With more features comes more complexity. It's unavoidable.

I'm still working on 1.20 right now. So, no. (Definitely sometime in the future!)

Thank you for saying that. See people? It's not just me who likes it!

Anyway, before anyone freaks out, the GUI WILL be getting a new look for 2.x. But the modulation WILL stay the same (those modulation source dials will probably change to something easier to read) and, while there'll be new pages for effects, arpeggiator, and whatever other big new features are added, the synth voice is still going to be all on one page as it is now -- so the intimidation factor will still be there, nothing we can do about that, she's a BIG girl. But we'll be looking to improve readability and yes, the 3D perspective will go as it makes so many people insane.

Hopefully that will satisfy the haters AND the folks who like it.

That's the thing with Poly-Ana. It is intimidating at first glance... but one session with it changes that pretty quickly. I'm no expert at programing and the interface went from "oh crap" to "yeah fun" in a matter of a few hours.

Poly-Ana is a truly great synth that deserves a second look by lots of people here. I've used most of the software synths out there to one degree or another and find this interface and feature set to fit me the best currently.

Sounds like a perfect plan.

Correct. I tried modweel too after all, but since I have remote sl/automap, I prefer to have direct access to such functions and use modwheel for (other) complex things.

One page/flat view is a good news. Waiting patiently for 2.0

GUI Sizewize noone could beat U-He's scaling approach. Screen resolution has almost doubled during last 4-5 years and still growing.

BTW, I somewhat agree with opinion earlier on this thread, that 24db filter is very resonant and low frequencies are disappearing dramatically at 50% cutoff, 50% resonance. It doesn't mean I don't like it - it's distinctive, but it would be nice to have different 24db filter model with less bp-like behavior in addition to current model.

Well that makes two of you.........

This change will surely open up many possiblities! Thanks a ton.

Is it too early to ask about upgrade policies?
