One-Synth-Challenge 53: Feldspar - Submissions and gossip

[Andywanders]

Yep, thats it ! won't accept widget paste, suppose not enough posts...
Thanks Kondarivan

Re One Gun:

Nice track










P.S. Following your soundcloud now

[evo2slo]

Hmm, I just realise that I upload not finished version of file from my harddrive (before mastering). So can I replace my upload or must to delete and upload new one ?

If you have premium account you can replace it.
If you don't have premium account in Soundcloud, you have to delete it and lose all comments (which is a pain in the arse)

Good luck

If you don't have premium you can also activate the 14 day free trial then cancel it after making the changes.

Uploading again... Yes, I lost all comments, and I am very sorry for that
But on the bright side good thing is that I have seen a mistake before the deadline
That's what happens when you're doing multiple things at once

PS: Thanks for all deleted comments !

If you need help to debug what could have been changed, I can send you my presets (at least the one that were obviously different)

Yes, please. That would be useful to have!

automation for OSC pitch, because it's drop-down menu (DD). So I can't draw my melody or glide effect with mouse.

You can assign stuff to OSC pitch in the mod-matrix thing, also you could set all the arp steps to the same note then automate the arp's pitch knob.

Beyond that I don't konw why you wouldn't just automate note and pitch-bend data in your host.

Very important: to make switch buttons to chose next LFO wave, for example. Because it's very annoying always click for drop-down menu, and select next wave

Not sure if it's just a feature of my host, but I can right-click to select a drop-down menu, then mousewheel to scroll through the options.

Glide (portamento) works only between over-crossed notes. I don't like such mechanic. I want it work always I activated it

This annoys me too! Seems like something changed with the version of Synthedit I used to compile the updated version without the crashing bug.. I've not figured out if there's a way to fix it.

Reduce options in modulation 1st DD menu, fore example LFO+ and LFO- to LFO, and make rotary to be in center

Yeah, it's probably something I'd do differently if I was making it now. I think at the time I didn't have an easy way to have the knob center (eg. with a double-click or whatever) so this seemed like the best alternative.

Panner I see is missing in other synths too, but I suppose the idea is that the track panner is to be used?

Well yes, panning just the oscs doesn't quite make sense in feldspar - the left and right channels are generated independently with a seperate set of oscs and filters for each side.. the width control adjusts the stereo spread post-echo.

What's with the arp? It's a pretty small and simple one.

I originally put it there because I wanted a quick way of making chiptune style chords with rapid arps. For melodic purposes it's probably better to have a favourite arp as a seperate plugin which you use with all your different synths.

I just found out why my envelope 1 release parameter was jumping like crazy. It's because I was automating expression and the parameter was assigned to CC43 (expression LSB)

another thing to fix! >_<

Anyways, I'm enjoying hearing what people have made with feldspar so far! and to compensate for the inconvenience of the crashing and issues with presets I'll give a free download code for Blarg to all entrants

Yeah, some good tracks, for sure! And that's awesome about Blarg - thanks!

That's very generous of you, kudos

Fantastic prizes, thanks Chris

An awesome modern trance masterpiece.

I will do that ^^ But sadly I'm afraid that if I don't put all my energy now in the contest I will not be able to finish in time, for now I have some wonderful parts but it is all over the place and far from being a coherent track. So I will try to finish that before releasing my bank (60+ presets !)

And a big thanks for Blarg, one more reason to finish in time I never run out of additive synths this time and hearing the demo this one seems amazing !

That seems to work here too (Reaper). Although I kind of (highly) doubt it depends on the host;

For me, the only thing I missed in Feldspar was a way to reset parameters.

Sorry, I didn't mean that as a way of saying that the arp is lacking fanciness; I was just wondering why stunkit thought the manual was somewhat confusing regarding the ARP.

I suppose you could just set the default CCs from LFO3 rate (which is now CC33) to CC44 and go on from there (CC44 doesn't interfere with CC12, right? I think they're both individual 8 bit controllers and some synth prefer to turn a pair of those into a single 16 bit one). I don't think there are enough knobs to conflict with CC64 (and even so, it wouldn't really matter).

Ooh, that's very kind of you, thanks

WOW, just loaded the DEMO and its sounds amazing. So many functions and tools!

Awesom prize, thanks !!!

Chris , you are a gentleman .Your consideration for users of your products is outstanding . Now I will have to spend a few hours this week end on the unfamiliar's Windows side of my Mac's partition. A bit like visiting some abandonned house's attic as far as I am concerned ( full of well hidden treasuries and odd bits).

Pitch-bend - it's idea. But how can I select sensitivity of the pitch bend?
I think rotary for OSC pitch is very common practice in VSTi GUI.

You need chose smth first, but not unselect drop-down menu — not obvious. And in Cubase it overrides kayboard keys to select smth by first letter, and virtual kayboard not working then.

About panner: maybe it's possible that "panner" affects L or R OSCs level? Or VSTi development stoped now?

[stunkit]

About Osc pitch, I can see you would need a knob for writing melody with it (never thought of this before)...

Yes :)

Thank you very much Chris, I played the demo for awhile .... then I realized (7 hours later) that it was 4 in the morning.
