Hi,

The KX-MODULAD 1.8 is available...

-oscillators bugs solved.
-new skin and help tips.
-new parameters: oscillator gate, keyboard scalers (split), scope etc...
-etc...
http://kx77free.free.fr

08/08/2008 : the data paths (kxwavetracer.exe and shared waveforms) are now saved in the preset banks (for the users who don't use the default path on C: )

17/07/2008: new setup.exe and new zip, the Vista version is included.

New skin with scope ...

The sliders are green for modulations, gray for levels, blue for the main parameters.

Now you can mute the voices of the mixer to listen only part of the preset when you edit, very practical ...

Now the majority of sliders have a help tip (in English), you must hold the mouse on the slider for it to appear.

I changed the code of the oscillors, including the "Soft synchro", which was not operating when the phase is modulated and also the "Interpolate" function, this function didn't work properly with some high notes and the Sub.
The "interpolate" allows a gradual transition to a waveform corresponding to a note to the waveform of the next note. If you change up too quickly (eg:LFO) without using this function, you can create audible clicks on the high notes or with the Sub because the index of the Sub waveform is linked to main waveforms...
The tuning of the highest note is C7 (10.3333 volts, + - 18khz) to cover the entire keyboard with a transposition of 3 octave.
The "Gate" in the oscillators section allows to synchronize the oscillators at the start of the note.

The "MM" parameters retrieves the voice modulations of the mixer to modulate the source modulations "Vco1" and "Noise". Applied with the source Noise, it will allow you to create presets of wind instruments.

I replaced the RND modulation of the mixer by a keyboard scaler to adjust the levels of each mixer voice according to the keyboard.

eg: "MM", the keyboard modulates the EG2 which modulates the Noise source...

Noise> -> osc1

EG2

Keyboard

The EG4 can now modulate the lfos.

Your synths are great, but this one (KX-Modulad) doesn't run here. Do I do something wrong?

It has some weird installation requirements, they are on the website.

Oookaaaay! Just while reading I remembered to put the Data folder onto C:.
Thanks, napalmbob!

The waveform picture thing makes it look nice. Sounds like there's more effects now, but then I've only ran it in Savihost with my mouse.

kx77free, thanks so much.
I just used the previous version in the track I posted in the Cafe, and am incorporating it into my live set, too. |2()><()|25!1!!!1

I hope more folks check this out, especially those into designing their own sounds. I would think that KX-Modulad would be right up their alley, what with the options and potential and all.

Hi,

Thanks

Yes, it is a synth for the pleasure to design the sound with solid base.

This month I hadn't time for me, I hope do some new waveforms and new presets and perhaps see if I can ameliorate the CPU use.

This version doesn't work in Vista, it crashes Savihost and Reaper. Although it does work in EnergyXt in Vista, so I could wrap it.

Works fine in above 3 hosts on Win Xp.

Hi,

I build a new version :1.8 rc2
This one solve a little bug with the velocity control.

RunBeerRun:

I will make a debug version without the scope, this module is based on the original code of the scope2 of SE, I will request about it on the SE forum.
I think that because all others modules use the same code than the 1.5 version.

Can you test this debug version when I will finish it ?

thanks

Xavier

Sure I will test it when it's ready.

For the record, here's what I got:

on my winxp computer, everything works great and always has

on vista, the previous version works in everything, but this latest version does not work in savihost or reaper, but does work in energyct 1&2, chainer, highlife all within savihost or reaper.
