Here's how the FX parameters look like:

For the distortion, we have Lo/Hi Cut pre-filters before the waveshaper. Then comes the waveshaper. The drive parameter is used to boost the input signal while the bias is used to add a constant offset to the input, which might be used to generate 2nd order harmonics as in a tube.

For the LoFi, we reduce the bit depth and then sample and hold the input. After the sample and hold, there's a resonant LP filter.

Has the load up time been fixed for the DAW to pull up the synth? When I load up in SAWstudio Lite it takes some time before coming up. When I pull up first preset it goes quickly, if still playing and switching it buffer underruns at first and after that no issues with bufferunderuns. I am using like two betas ago. (1.99)

and btw, this thing sounds really good.

Would you consider a setting that would set the pitch bend to 'off' on all patches for a future release? I use the VG99 for guitar with Synthmaster2 (as well as Wusickstation-similar request made) and every patch/every sound layer has to have it turned off or I get weird detuning of instruments. I would like a way to set this off for all patches as some type of override. A global option if you will.

Yes, I'll add that to our bug/feature request database. It's similar to the requests for global engine settings, just have to figure out a place to put global parameters on the UI first for this!

I'm almost done with the 4 band EQ and will hopefuly make the release for build 20 tomorrow night.

Also, in tonight release we'll have more presets, thanks to Scot Solida and rsmus7

Our total preset count is right now 216, and growing each day!

I'll try to fix the load time problem tonight, if I have an extra hour or so.
Have been really busy for the past 2 weeks trying to finish this Layer FX.

Now the remaining question on Layer FX is: Should we add Chorus & Phaser to Layer FX, does that make sense? Or shall I make Phaser Global FX?

LoFi: Developed, tested.
Distortion: Developed, tested.
4 Band EQ: Developed, not tested yet.

I should be done with testing the EQ tonight. Build 20 coming tonight with more than 200 presets!

No worries. I've been testing the Layer FX really well so I'm not anticipating any new bugs with those.

also filter distortion, the drive at the filters works good, but filter drive is a very important point, so perhaps some more mods would be amazing, like blofeld for example. Soft, Hard, Tube, SineShaped etc

but then i think this all would be too much distortion possibilities in a synth.

I omitted the user drawable waveshaper for now... Dont need so much detail in this release.

Also, for the filter "drive", new filter "drive" curves will come in the future.
But before those I'll add the "bias" parameter to the filter drive, which will let us create tubish sounding filters.

What drive-curves are there on the plan atm?

If the features will be mostly finalized, count me in aswell!
I'll be making some harder trance and simple ambient sounds
