One-Synth-Challenge14 - Anubis!

[hakey]

Anyone else experiencing Anubis suddenly locking up where its meter is maxed in a sort of feedback or whatever, overloading ASIO and stopping all sound?

Switching it on and off doesn't help, I have to restart the whole DAW to sort it. This happens with alarming regularity now.

Also it will suddenly start to crackle, I suspect this is the start of the 'feedback lock' problem described above..

Yes, I've had it locking up with maxed levels thing several times. It's crashed Live a couple of times too (which means that I have to reboot the computer). I haven't noticed any of the crackling though.

EDIT: I've just had it happen again, and it was preceded by crackling. I was tweaking filter cut off, so perhaps it's some feedback algo in the filter?

Ziokiller, thanks! You're a great guy

I got crackling sound when I made a little track just to go through the presets, the crackling disappeared when I set the synth to polymode. Very strange since cpu was ok (only one instance), and no latencyspikes, just crackle.

Yeah, just try and find a good crackle effect when you really need it,
and they vanish

Tell you what guys, I would love to have a problem with a synth which forced me to use a different host for a change .... but unfortunately, I have a shitty old computer which doesn't seem to choke on anything past it's sell by date!

However, I've not started my track yet, so I think I'm gonna take the plunge and use something other than FL just for the hell of it!

.... Might do Madtracker actually ... been a while

I'm almost ready with my track. But I noticed the project file for the host got over 14MB big. It also probably explains why it takes a lot longer to save than other songs.

So far I tried it only in SAVIHost. While going through presets sound turned down two times. I had to restart the host I hope it won't be happening a lot in MU.LAB - my main host

I did some more testing and almost all presets gives clicks and pops and crackling sound, and it crashed ablaton too. I tried maxing out the dx latency too, no change, tried asio, maxed out the latency, no change.

Anyone know what the freq slider really does.
Does it just change the pitch of Osc2?
Also I don't know what spread on the filter does.

Only Mr.Serrano knows. And perhaps the gawd himself.

The frequency knob just change OSC 2 pitch. Useful for fixed frequencies while Sync.
About the spread: Shifts the Cutoff point down on each sucessive cascade stage.

I like savihost personally, but I've heard minihost is better but I've not tried yet, I think it costs about $25.

Good to hear it's not only on my system. Dunno if it's the filters causing it, but there's a switch in the oscillator section where an option is 'stable' I believe, maybe the other one shouldn't be chosen?

Does 'X- Mod' do anything?

Hi bserrano, and thanks for this nice Anubis instrument, among many others. Some of us are hearing a little crackle noise, for example, in the the excellent Supersine preset, it is very noticeable, and on each note. I tried every knob on the gui thinking something must just need a nudge, to no avail.
The same noise can be heard on other presets too. Any clues would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Using the Super Sine patch, with delay off, hit the random button in the Amplitude Envelope section a dozen or so times, the crackle changes, comes and goes etc. Changing the relationship between sustain and release also can have an effect. So I think something in the envelopes could be a culprit, as I can get the pop at both the end of the sound, and the beginning. Hope this helps

edit: With the attack setting on the left side of the dial, decay and sustain each on the seventh marker, (3/4 of the dial)
and release on the fourth marker (slighty left of dead center) there are no pops.

quick, save that preset!

I'd thought it was the amp envelope, doing most if not all of the clicking.
