It has passed the Headphone/Speaker/Car and Wife-Tapping-Foot-Test. Lacks "composition" as always ... ha ha ha.

Details to be added later.

Superb sound and attention to detail - as always Peter.
I'm curious though - why do you always submit half way through the month? Why do you not use the full time given to produce the song? Just curious

He he he ... I'm working on two or three other none-OSC tracks ins parallel. That is one reason.
Second reason is a "stop starting start finishing" thinking I try to apply. In the past I tweaked, twiddled and fiddled for 30 days, most often making things worse and worse with each iteration... Now I go: release it!
Third reason specifically for Surge XT rounds... being top on the playlist gives you opportunity to get listeners. The Surge Team often links the list on their website. And lists are populated first come first serve ... and visitors of Surge Website just click first one or two songs...just check out the stats of previous Surge XT rounds
Fourth: OSCers can already listen and make up their minds ... I know, there's the risk of "newer/not yet hard sounds more impressive" but I take the risk.
Fifth: Gives you the opportunity to alreay povide feedback if you like.
Sixth: Scares people by how fast I can be (kidding)

Lately the list hasn't been ordered based on submission time it seems FYI. Seems to be random and then after voting tabulation they have it in order of placement I think at least for the first 10 or 15.

Is it possible to modulate an OSC volume by velocity so that it goes from 0 to 100% only il the last 27 steps? (so always at 0 for velocity<100 then rises till 100% for velocity=127)?

[Chris-S]

Yes, you can use a MSEG with disabled rate. Modulate it's phase with velocity and the OSC vol with the MSEG.

In the MSEG you draw your mapping shape.

Thanks!
It almost works, but the note with vel=127 doesn't plays....

This is the MSEG

the last three notes are silent

what am i doing wrong?

(my example preset here on dropbox)

[baconpaul]

Oh I bet phase 1 wraps to zero. If you place a blip at zero of height one does it work? If so we can fix that In rate stop mode

[Chris-S]

I guess your modulation value to phase is a bit to high.

[Parduz]

Oh I bet phase 1 wraps to zero. If you place a blip at zero of height one does it work?

Yup, it works.

If so we can fix that In rate stop mode

i'm not undersanding you

[Parduz]

It says 100.00%.

[Chris-S]

I think what is meant is to prevent the phase overflow.

Yup, it works.

I meant we can fix that in surge 1.3.2

[baconpaul]

But for now yeah set your rate mod depth to 99.98 and it will work I bet

Hi - Just noticed that your track doesn't have downloads enabled - I think it's mandatory for OSC.
