Obxd synthesizer

[VariKusBrainZ]

Am I the only one laughing at the massive hypocrisy perpetuating here? Calling someone a thief for thinking of issuing a free product that is a copy of a product that is already a copy of a hardware product? So making a copy of a copy is theft? What about the first copy of the work that someone copied from the hardware version? Slightly hypocritical don't you think? LOL! And for the record I would still want to buy OPX Pro II even if I had the free OBXD or whatever the OP ends up calling it because I want them all. if anything this probably inspires the OPX people to get to work and improve that product to take it 64 bit and if that is the case then that is cool. They should be adding in the various moog and prophet components like Diva seems to be doing. As for copying presets, are not the presets in OPX pro best known for being copies as well? Even more laughable I say.

Exactly, competition is a good thing, its one of the reasons we evolved into homo sapiens.

Lack of competition can result in inferior services and customers getting shafted as is the case more and more in this day and age as only a couple of hundred companies control 40% of the global economy.

Beside, the music industry is rife with plagiarism.

How many people out there trying to rip of the Daft Punk sound
cough: madeon :cough

And just look at tarnce, its herd mentality as far as composing and sound design

Developing new non linear filter now (well, inspired by uhbie).Of course there will be a switch between eco and warm analog mode

Whoa! Can't wait to tinker with it! Are you going to implement "VCO FM", too? You said "inspired"... so probably not. But "warm analog" mode will be a great addition in itself. I suppose it will include some randomisation of the characteristics and some kind of saturation that will also not be just a static waveshaper. Can we have a separate fader for that? Like more or less randomisation, I mean "analog", or "drift", "instability" knob.

If you get it right, you might consider compiling just a little "random-analog" saturation plugin "inspired" by it... or even better - a filter plugin.

Thank you, 2DaT!

p.s. isn't noise oscillator too quiet for you?

I like guys from U-he because they are pushing vst synth market to a new level

Adwanced filter wont be soon but i am getting into this stuff.
I am talking about emulating a resonance feedback diode shaping non-linearity in svf, which is actual analog circuit part.

I have new version in a pocket with increaced noise level and pitch wheel support but i am too lazy to upload it

[DuX]

Oh, so it's a kind of a "drive" feature then, to put it in layman's terms. Good stuff, especially if followed by a knob called "drive amount". If I understood it correctly, of course. It takes care of when there's too much resonance, so it saturates it and keeps it down, compress it, dynamically. More input = more saturation/compression. That's how analog crap works. Everything is dynamic and not really 1 or 0, but a value in between, fluctuating all the time, too. I love that aspect of inconsistency with hardware. It is more natural. Like fractals! And in the end everything sounds so nicely glued and coherent. I have a nice collection of more or less DIY hardware... that will become obsolete some day. But I still plan on making some more of it for some reason, or two, or three. The main reason being - I am an electrical engineer, so it comes natural for me to engineer crap. And fail. And succeed. It's like programming in a way...

Nevermind, upload it when you feel it's good enough, man. Time is just an illusion of a human mind anyway. I really enjoy the Obxd as it is now already. It really helps me to concentrate on the sound creation, this guiless version of it.

I grew up with people who programmed the Octatracker for Atari, so no wonder I'm not obsessed with the looks alone [Arturia crap...]. I really do enjoy what things/programs do, not what they look like, especially as far as virtual GUIs are concerned. I think people are so way too much obsessed with how everything looks. And looks is all fake and superficial anyway. No matter how you put it. No matter what philosophy you apply. Looks is so overrated in this society, and that's so sad. A simple example: people would always choose a nice looking, clean apple, instead of an organically grown, not so good looking, smaller one. Nevermind that the difference in nutrients is rather in favour of the "ugly" looking one. People... minds... so much shallowness and no real knowledge about anything. I don't want to venture into a conversation about women, but it would be a good example, too.

All that matters is inside, in the code or soul, in the kernel of the code or your mind, no matter if you're a human animal, animal, or a program.

Cheers!

New version :
1)Pitch wheel
2)Iterative filter approach ( still in development)
3)Remade oscillators

Raised resonance cap significantly.
Filter in warm mode cant produce distorted sounds : i limited drive amount, however it affects low harmonics
The difference between two filter modes is relativly small,however, i can improve nonlinear model with ease.

Oscillators are improved (a lot less digital crap known as aliasing) , especially hard sync and xmod.

Can hardly wait! I am sure from what I am hearing that it will be an awesome monster synth.

[DuX]

Thank you, 2DaT! I'll give it a whirl immediately.

[mridlen]

Sounding really good so far. The finished version will probably get some serious use from me on basslines.

[yessongs]

how many parameters does your DAW show? Mine showed 20. might try it in another Daw.

crashes energyXT2 v2.7B in winxpSP3. loads ok, but the crash happens when trying to open the generic ui for tweaking params

Ok i will investigate this issue

In EnergyXT 1.41, it doesn't crash it, but it doesn't show the generic UI, either. I'm saying that because it must be something wrong with both Energys that you could probably rectify/adjust in your plugin to be more compatible with other VST hosts. It probably has the same problem with some other DAWs but you just haven't heard from people about it yet. Like I didn't report it until now. I use Reaper most of the time so I thought WTH...

If I may ask, do you use VST SDK 2.4 or 3? Making a 2.4 plugin in VST SDK 3 can lead to problems, a little bird told me.

Cheers!

Thanks I didnt implement some vst functions as getparameterlabel. I think i need to get working gui first,however i cant figue out how its needed to be done.

[layzer]

forgot to mention, it works great in my DAW using the supplied savihost program, so it must be EXT2 having problems trying to display the parameters in its default gui... ehhh you'll figure it out. it sounds very nice btw!
