XSRDO Analogy Official Release

[jeff51]

I have just discovered a problem. Using Analogy 64 bit in Cakewalk By Bandlab, I create a sound, close the GUI and create a sequence. Everything is fine until I open the GUI again. Then it defaults to the first patch and I lose my sound.

Hi . see option " keep last preset used "

It's not working for me. It still defaults to the first preset in the embedded bank.

Hi Guys

That's a tricky one to debug but I think I know what's happening.
I recently learned that DAWs can call VST functions in a different order.
Orion and MuLabs don't show this issue but Reaper 'almost' does. I can see Reaper calling
an internal function when the widow is Minimised/Maximised. I reckon Cakewalk it doing the same thing.
I'll come up with a work around.

@Erisian
I managed to get your modular sequencer idea down to a single module.
It's now upto 8 steps per module

@Erisian , I already reported this problem, but with this option, it was fixed . I have many other problems with v0.977 ( noise when I load the plugin , some of my presets no longer work , some factory presets are mute , some modules are still disable and GUI default ) but I think it's because I still use win 7 .

That looks really smart Kirsty. I like it.

I use Win 7 and I get the same as you. I am also having problems Beta testing another instrument and I think that might be down to the same thing. This old computer hasn't got long now so I hope I can afford an upgrade.

Good news. Restore bank on startup worked for me.

Eh You mean I've been trying to fix something that wasn't a problem.
Anyway, so the things I need to do before the next update are...
1. Erisian. All DAWs remember the last Analogy settings.
(Done. I've removed some options from the, er, options menu. They are now preset by Setup.exe)
2. Jeff51. Fix the bad module alignment in the image above.
3. Jeff51. Noise when I load the plugin. What noise?
4. Jeff51. Some modules are still disable and GUI default (All modules are now turned on by default in v0.979). What does GUI default mean?
5. Jeff51. Some factory presets are mute. Please tell me which ones as they all work for me.

Thanks for beta testing guys. Once I fix these few issues I could be getting close to V1.0

Nice work Kirsty. I'm sorry I didn't make my problem clear but it sounds like you have fixed it now. It was just that if I loaded a preset, then closed the GUI to use the DAWs midi functions, when I opened the GUI again, the synth reset itself to Enchanted Arp. If I am experiencing the same as Jeff, then 3. is a brief crackle like a dodgy electrical switch being turned on.

...a brief crackle like a dodgy electrical switch being turned on...

That's because it's emulating an old analog modular synth

No Problem. I reckon I've fixed most of those issues now.
Time to get back to that Modular Sequencer, make a few more presets then upload the next update.

I said to myself the same thing
"GUI default" , this is the problem we see in Screenshot above .
PS: I forgot to specify in my "PM" answer: I completed the last factory bank with my presets .

The release function on the mini monosynth's envelope doesn't seem to work.

I confirm ( and I find that the filter lacks efficiency )

I'm glad it's not just me then!
and the release on both the polysynth and the padwave synth behave strangely, triggering the remainder of the note when the next note is played. Can you confirm that too jeff?

[jeff51]

No, Release seems normal for polysynth and padwave . I tried ( a new time ) the monosynth in one of my presets ( made with v0.971 ) and the release works . But if Kirsty changed some modules , some presets may have changed ( this is the impression that I have for some of mine...without being sure ) knowing that my system is also unstable

PS: I don't really know how Kirsty designed the monosynth, but if the EG only acts on the filter, then the Release will not work without an Amp EG

[kirsty roland]

As I develop Analogy I'm trying very hard to keep it backward compatable.
However, one thing about being in beta is that I sometimes need to change
a bit of code which can occasionally break something else.
Jeff's 'GUI Default' report is a result of this. My bad.

I can't find fault with the envelope release. They all work for me! But then I'm using v0.979

I confirm ( and I find that the filter lacks efficiency )

The filter in the Mono and Poly Synth modules is the K35 Sallen-Key
emulation from my old Korg MS10. I actually like the sound very much.

Different filter types in the Synth modules (M115, M116)
There is capacity to add a switch to the Mini Mono Synth M115 to select
from different filter types. I'll add that to my TODO list.

The Mini Poly Synth M116 is maxed out on controls so I would need to
replace something. Proberbly the Filter Env amount knob.
This would break any existing presets using it so maybe a bad idea.
Perhaps best to just make another (2nd) Mini Poly Synth module.

@Jeff
I'll add Another LFO with more wave shapes and Midi bpm synced clock
to my TODO list. Also more filters

@Erisian
The new Modular Sequencer is finished. It's very powerful when linked
to other instances of it's self and I'm having great fun making long complex
sequences. Unfortunatly it might be difficult to understand fully how it works
without a basic instruction manual of some kind.
ps. I like your KVR avatar


I like the presets you guys are posting. You are starting to use Analogy
in ways I never thought of

Keep well
Kirsty
