One Synth Challenge #89: Tunefish4 by Brain Control (Meakaale wins!)

[sfiks]

Here are some presets in .fxb format.

sfiks bank for tunefish4.fxb.zip

Cymbals notes need to be very short to sound longer

Hi. I am not able to make this work in Tunefish 4 (latest version as per today). fxb wont load through the "load fxb" procedure, and the only thing that seem to work is to add "programs" to the default "program" list where the factory programs are followed by new in a squencial, not broken, number sequence.

How do I turn your fxb into these "programs"?

Here is a folder with .fxp programs.

tunefish-v4.0.1 .fxp presets.zip

Hope you'll be able to load them one by one.
That's all I can do

Sounding good so far, Rob. But...

How could I forget!

And a ride cymbal
And thundering toms.

Hello,
I would ask the help of some of you guys to choose
the best mix, between those two mp3s below.

As many of you also have experienced, it was really hard to mixdown
the tracks with this synth. Beside the inconsistency of presets, I also
had a lot of troubles with rendering. Sometimes the resulting WAV was noisy with clicks, other times notes were missing!
And almost always the settings of the synth filters and envelopes changed randomly at each render.
Even a little but still noticeable.
Really really stressing and time wasting.

I tried with different sampleRates, and different buffer size.
Until with 1526 samples buffer at 48000 it was more or less right,
not exactly what I hear when I playback the song in energyXT
(as I wrote I couldn't use my usual DAW Ableton Live for the crashes),
but close enough.

So I was almost to the point of giving up, but I liked my little composition.
Since as soon as I tried the synth, weeks ago, it inspired me to write something different...
Some kind of sci-fi soundtrack. And I composed the MIDI tracks and presets in few hours.
But when I started to mix, equalizing and rendering the whole stuff, the problems started to appear in great number.

I would have added more layers, at least two more for strings and percussions,
but I can't stand to work like this no more.
Here is what I got, not sure which one of these two mixes sounds best:

Thanks in advance.

Really like that track Liqih. So much depth.

Hey many thanks man!
Any preference for one of the two mixes?

... choose the best mix, between those two ...

I couldn't hear a lot of difference. You probably hear something more, having listened to it a lot. They both sound pretty good to me, btw. I also share Jasinski's comment that there's a lot of depth, and an enjoyable track. Gonna have to step my game up! But alas, I have almost no time this month...

Thanks z.sir, the mB MP3 is more saturated and a little brighter than the mC MP3.
How I wish that I hadn't had to spent so much time on rendering, I would have developed more the structure.
Anyway that is. And I can't wait to hear yours and the other entries made with this taxing synth. Time to listen now.

Hey people,

I uploaded a new version of my entry, please check it again, in case you've listened to the old version before... Also activated downloads now.
