Lynx is almost completely done in c++, except for the filter and probably some other minor things. It doesn't guarantee it will be better though.wagtunes wrote:Well, let me say this. If the new Lynx is like AM Freehand, I don't even need to hear it. No offense. As a free Synthedit synth, AM Freehand is okay, but it's nothing to write home about. It's thin and lifeless, like most Synthedit synths. Maybe if Lynx took the architecture (which is actually pretty interesting) and did it up in C++ with quality oscillators, then yeah, we could have something usable.
Seems I can't start AM Freehand or Wavedraw on my computer. I remember they worked before and I was kind of disappointed because I thought they would be better. I always wanted synths with drawable oscillators. That's why I made lynx, it's the first synth if you don't count Aegis (which is an emulation) where I feel I didn't have to do any compromises.
Lynx has Stacked/Unison oscillators, but does not have real FM. It can only modify waveforms with FM in the wave editor. I might add FM in the future though because that's one feature I would like to have as well.
I'm glad there is interest in Lynx before I released it, hopefully it wont disappoint you.
Thanks!
