Cronox 3.5 aliasing?

[pschelfh]

It's been a long time but I finaly upgraded my Cronox2 and Sophistry to the latest Cronox 3.5.

I initialized a patch, just to play with the internal waveforms (a saw in this case) and I noticed a lot of aliasing in the upper registers, like a second out of tune sound was playing on the background.

The same initialized patch sounds clean as a whistle in Sophistry.

Could someone confirm this please (Maybe I left something on that wasn't supposed to, but I don't think so, I know Cronox3.08 from Sophistry like my pocket)? Just put 1 oscillator on (internal saw), filter full open, envelope attack 0, full sustain, no release, no fx or modulations. It's more noticeable the higher you play on the keyboard.

My system is Windows XP running Cubase 4.0.3.

Thanks,
Peter.

Confirmed, Peter,
CronoX got new oscillators with version 3.5, they have been developed to decrease CPU usage, and why thats no excuse for ... they do have more aliasing. Not sure if it was a wise step though ...

Thanks for confirming Peter.

No problem for me in the meantime, I can still use the Cronox engine from Sophistry.

Maybe you could put a switch in a next update that allows users to choose between the low and the (older) high CPU waveforms?
While there is much aliasing on the upper notes, they do sound very powerful on the low notes, very useful for bass sounds.

Yes, maybe a switch would be good, I'll put that on our list

I'd like to second that idea.
