Corona 6.0 released

[george]

The custom background is not likely to happen.

Cool, not like it makes it sound any different. Maybe another couple colors besides light and dark though, any chance at that? Pretty please?

[george]

Light and Dark will remain as the only ones for now.
Getting more would make updating harder to keep up.

How do I change pitch octave of OSC 1 only, without transposing in the Global tuning section? Thanks

[Sendy]

Loving the new wave bank update. There's a lot of imitative material in there that takes Corona in a completely new direction for me (away from the abstract madness of geometric waveform fusion and dual filters, lol).

I recon some of the waves might need finetuning, though, as a few are a bit off.

Just purchased this synth. I love it. I just want to point out that if wavetables were added, this would be my dream synth. It's still up there very high as it is, I just have a thing for wavetables. Great job, and thanks!

@monk_volcano and @Sendy Thanks

@snigelx OSC 1 pitch is can only be changed with transposing in the global tuning section.

Downloads from discoDSP are fast for me...

[braj]

Yep I have no download issues.

Hey George, is there any chance getting any more keyboard velocity settings, soft isn't quite soft enough for me. A percentage slider or knob would work better IMO than the few static settings.

[george]

I am going crazy trying to download this.. 3 different isp's over the years, all the different disco dsp stuff i have bought over the years, and not one time have i ever been able to get above 10 k per second.. it's just torture whenever there is an update.. i ONLY have a problem with disco DSP.

anybody else?

there has to be another solution..

i have been downloading corona 4.1 for the last half hour now and it is at 8 mb so far

Hello ttoz, PM and we will sort it out.

We will think about it. By the way, velocity can be modified with Modulation Matrix too

@Braj

Thanks for the tips.
Theres nothing better than satisfying sounds from experimentation

@monk_volcano and @Sendy Thanks

@snigelx OSC 1 pitch is can only be changed with transposing in the global tuning section.

I see, so this is the only method of getting 32' oct osc output on OSC1? OK so be it, for now

Really enjoy working with this synth so far George. It truly is a "crown" acheivement for Discodsp

Here's some thoughts:

Factors which influence my purchasing of new synths are unique character, intriguing timbral personality and good ratio of usability/design complexity. I have no regrets in purchasing Corona for the reasons above. The main reason I considered purchasing this synth was because of all the consistent attention you have given to updating it and making it more and more powerful. I'm impressed by the dedication shown to make this synth something special in the form of frequent updates and Corona-specific video tutorials. Corona is already a fantastic offering but with continued attention and love it could be a favourite for many.

Excellent Clean Focused interface. Great job. Love the modulation feedback on the knobs and the controls are just the right size where I do not have to put my nose on the screen to work a long time on a patch just because I own a high-resolution monitor.

Mega-inspired by these nice combine modes for the OSC's. Great idea. This is kind of new form of OSC implementation for me. I've worked with multipliers, rectifiers, etc before but nothing built into the OSC module itself. Definitely enjoying the results of experimenting with mixing the three OSC's and various modes. Thanks for allowing my host MIDI control over Filter mode, type and shape! This provides a lot of control potential and variation in a music sequence when needed. Also nice with interesting Mod Source options, like the OSC envelope follower behaviour from ABS OSCMIX ABSOSC3 etc.

Thanks for graphing the Envelope stages' modes in the manual. It makes it easier to decide which to apply when going after a certain sound. The manual is quite informative in general (I quite like that you included a table that helps explain the OSC combo modes, even though I'm still not exactly sure what part of the sound is getting "combined". Nice Vibrato module as well, it's great for more than traditional vibrato usage!

Please consider making a double-click on knobs/sliders return the parameter back to INIT value instead of only zeroing the control.

Please consider MIDI host automation of these following controls as well in a future release:

- Pre/Post switch in Filter section
- Mod Matrix source amounts
- Vibrato depth (if we get Mod Matrix amounts automation then Vib depth is not needed, as it is a mod dest)
- OSC Leakage (incredibly beneficial when using one's own custom OSC's, like loops etc)
- Unison voice spread and Voice detune

Mod Matrix destination request:

- OSC Leakage
- Fine tune for OSC 2 and OSC 3 (great for creating timbre change using certain DT combine modes)

Please also consider allowing for finer (1 ms) resolution editing of the linear envelope stages. This comes in handy when using custom loops as OSC source.

Thanks for a great tool at a more than fair price

Cheers!
