Hey,
I need to give some credits :)
The sequencer(slide per step btw) was originally built by exonerate and the waveforms are courtesy of Angular Momentum. Also Kirkagur ported the LP2 filter and gave me some waveforms that I hope i can share.
It's built with SM, mighty thanks to Outsim.
Critique or questions welcome :)
I have the original project which is complementary to teh entarncer, to release also at some stage.
Regardies
Also just to give a little more info it is a 3 osc wavetable with 26 mod destinations, rm and fm. The layout should be intuitive I hope.
I wonder what I want in here

This is quite nice but needs more presets,but the sound and looks are great.

Hey lucknow :)
That's cool you can run it. I ran out of time on the 28th. It was a near run thing to get it going. After DC I can add presets, so if you'd like to make some I can include them. You should be able to load your own wavetables to presets.
Glad you like it :)

Hi nix808. Well i made one so far so we'll see if i can do anymore if you are not in to much of a hurry. I like the wavetables that are in there. When you change them you can really hear the difference. I think it's a beast of a synth but will take some time to control. And really like the main page look. Supercool. Thanks again.lk

You're welcome!
I will up my wave creation utility/synth for it tomorrow. No hurry at all for preset creation.
Glad you like the look.
Cheers :)

Hi nix808. :) Loving your Entrancer plugin. It has a fantastic squidgy, dirty sound that really encourages me to tweak as I play - especially with the fx and filters. But this leads me to my main question - could you implement automation on the Entrancer for all of it's controls? I would love to be able to automate, for example, the on/off switches for the effects and the other various effects controls.

One other question regarding the modulation section:- the method of selecting either the LFO, Envelope or Step Sequencer seems a bit strange. From what I can tell, there are 2 lots of modulation sources available at any one time. These two modulation sources can be switched from Step Sequencer, LFO or Envelope. The method of switching though does seem a bit strange. You have two switches - top one switches between LFO and Env. Bottom one switches between Multi and Step. To use either the the LFO or the Envelope you have to set the bottom switch to Multi and then choose either LFO or Env from the top switch. To use the Step Sequencer you have to set the bottom switch to Step (doesn't matter what the top switch is set to). At least that works for me! But what does Multi refer to and why is there just not three selection switches:- one for the LFO, one for the Envelope and one for the Step Sequencer? I am sure I must be missing out on something here.

Plus if I could automate almost any parameter rather than just those currently shown on the grid.................. 8)

Many thanks for such a great plugin!! I really do appreciate all the effort you, and all the other developers, have put in to giving us these free toys to play with!! :D

That's tops man you like it :)
The first switch on the mod selects LFO or envelope. The second switch selects the type of LFO, step or multi(which is multiple waveshape). That's how it should be working. I'll test to make sure.
I'll make all the switches automatable too in the updates following DC, just forgot to turn them on( I guess it's not a bugfix?). I think the parameters other than the switches should automatable in host? Sounds like not though so I will go through it and make sure.
Cheers and happy tweaking!

Yes, that's how it works - I understand now. :wink:

That would be great. You can create some great rythmical sounds switching some of the effects on and off in time with the music.

Not all of the non-switch parameters are automatable in the host at the moment. I used to use EnergyXT1 as a plugin in Cubase to allow me to tweak any other plugin's parameter with midi controllers (EnergyXT1 allows you to load almost any number of plugin inside it, you can then connect them up and then select almost any of the plugin's parameters and assign them to any controller numbers and ranges) but now I have got into automation in Cubase I love being able to grab any plugin's switches, knobs, sliders etc. and instantly tweak and record in real time. :love:

Thanks again nix808 :D

I'm getting lots of clicks/pops while moving the filter cutoff while the sequencer is playing.......

And, is there any way to NOT retrigger the sequencer while I play?

This is DEF a beast!! And you CAN import your own WAVs, correct?

Hello?

Sorry man,
I'll fix the zippering today. No I think the sequencer will always retrigger. I can fix it after DC, I'll send you a pm. Yeah man you can import your own waves, at 256,512,1024 and 2048 length. The forms you import can be saved to preset. I have some forms I'll up and also a tool for making them soon. Sorry for the late reply.
Wishing contents :)
You're welcome hesnotthemessiah, I will fix in an update :)

Sweet! Gotta give ya props for that. The only other freeware synth that lets you import your waves is (the AWESOME) Atlantis.

OK man, i fixed it, but now you have to hit a button if you want to update the filter graph. It wasn't zippering, but the calc that displays the graph mucking with the audio. Pick up revision 1 for clean tweaking :)
Cheers
Soon some more waveforms and tools, i can add presets too, if anyone is keen, to make some. It's part of the rules now, thanks KVR :)
SM lets you import waves to a bandlimited wavetable, or use them in samplers, it's cool like that

first choice - five points.

I love Phonics/Attack Entrancer GUI. Even Its only supplied preset sounded good but my machine could not handle realtime tweaking to create something out of it because of very high CPU load. Audio was completely choaked. This one took around 77% of cpu. May be because of SM.

I tried it on Minihost, FLS9 and Reaper.

But lovely design.
Tools are tools, they don't produce anything...
