Well it's entirely possible that the output from the humbucker is just lower due to some factor of science that I'm not aware of. I mean, certainly a Dimebag pickup has more output than a similarly constructed pickup form the same company. Both guitars were plugged into the same DI box, though.FrettedSynth wrote:Was thinking about that oneShane Sanders wrote:I was getting noticably more stable tracking using a single coil in neck position on a strat than with a humbucker in neck position on an Ibanez.

Again, this is pure fun in a VST. I'll be using this for years to come. It just makes you want to play which is never a bad thing.One question? did you re-adjust the input level when you switched between guitars. In all testing I have noticed a huge differance between different guitars pluged into the same DI,Preamp setups (all needed re-adjusting of there levels)
Just curiouswant to make this work for all.
Fretted Synth
Yeah! I was thinking about how expressive it is, too. One thing that I'm going to try this week is to route the output from this synth into a realtime convolution engine with some unusual impulses loaded up. My hope is that I'll be able to maintain the hands-on expressiveness and yet push the timbres into musical yet bizarre realms. I've been working on a giant eXT patch with various synths trying to figure out how to capture Ztar playing nuances, but being able to play a guitar is still more expressive in my hands at this point. Natural vibrato is just so important to me and also the ability to have a note swell into a controlled feedback type thing. That's the thing I'm looking into a lot these days.guitarzan wrote:I've just been playing the new synth some more, and I do think this new tracking is more expressive! Is it possible to set the degree that velocity effects the filter? Either way, I think the new velocity control for the filter would be a good future update for the other FrettedSynths.
Have you had a chance to give any more thought to a MicroSynth guitar tone only (no oscillator) type effect? I know you have a lot going on right now, but it would be a cool addition in the future and it would surely track well with baritone and bass guitars.
Really looking forward to FreeAmpSE 1.5 now!!
What about a hex pickup into a fanout box ( http://www.rmcpickup.com/fanoutbox.html ). Then you'd have a seperate audio line for each string, run those into an audio interface with 6 ins then into 6 FrettedSynths - wouldn't that be coolShane Sanders wrote:It just hit me how good those players how had a SynthAxe had it. Just imagine how incredible it would be to have all of your guitar skills (including chording) at your disposal with an approach like this. Does anyone know if a SynthAxe clone is being produced? I have a Ztar, and while it is wonderful for certain things, it does not ultimately translate guitar technique as well as people think. It is an entirely different instrument that has its own advantages (like being able to play a chord on one "string") but some disadvantages such as the loss of natural vibrato and the general lack of glissando due to the nature of how the fret buttons work.
That's a great idea. I really don't understand electricity or circuits but it seems like accomplishing that wouldn't be that big of a deal for someone who is experienced with such things.guitarzan wrote:What about a hex pickup into a fanout box ( http://www.rmcpickup.com/fanoutbox.html ).

Too bad somebody doesn't just make an audio interface that had a 13-pin Roland hex pickup input that would give you seperate audio chanels for each string. That would make it a lot more affordable and practical.
)don't know why not. i've used them with my trombone, melodica, voice...Can't use any of the fretted synth instruments with my baritone..
The velocity control in the amp section of PhazOsc controls both the filter and the amp, but you have a good point that the controls should be seperateguitarzan wrote:I've just been playing the new synth some more, and I do think this new tracking is more expressive!

so that is how I will add to the exsiting synths and any new ones that might come up.If you get the chance could you monitor what the level sent to the soundcard is\was for each guitarShane Sanders wrote:Well it's entirely possible that the output from the humbucker is just lower due to some factor of science that I'm not aware of.

Fretted Synth
like I said before I really just want to make it right, and I have noticed that the level received by these synth is real important to good tracking, just curious if that was part of the reason they tracked so different or if I should look elsewhere Thanks! It's part of the master plan (to redo the other plug UI's someday) if I recall properly.matthewjumps wrote:thanks for PhazOsc sounds awesome - and Grymmjack im loving the GUI - you are a master man!
Is there any chance Grymmjack could give the other two Synths (string sculptor and tripp lead) a new ui? or have they been scrapped?
looking eagerly forward to the new version of FreeAmp
