Code: Select all
virtual void setSampleRate (double sampleRate)
Anyone spotting the bug?

setSampleRate() takes a float - you created a separate overloaded function which wouldn't be called by the VST host.

Bingo!

Great to see it released, time to do some Ragnaröcking

after some more noodling about with it, i think velocity sensitivity on the vcf and vca would be nice. i love the filter and eq and the patch manager system on it

Björn and I deliberated about that. There's a note about it in the manual (Frequently Asked Questions).

Too bad. Velocity/aftertouch would've been extremely useful over here.

Velocity is pretty much essential. I was going to try it later today, but prob wont now.

I don't mind no velocity for monophonic mode, that's fine. But including polyphony without any velocity control (filters, first and foremost, then VCA) is a bit sad and leaves things to be desired.

Other than that, it DOES sound very good and it's an interesting layout, a different flavour.

Ha, a Minimoog, ARP Odyssey and lot's of other pretty expressive synths don't have velocity. The Original Ragnarök synth didn't have velocity but nevertheless it can do very expressive stuff.

Polyphony was just a bonus because Bjórn had that code handy from other projects. But we didn't want to make this into some sort of bread-and-butter synth, there's enough available for that (Synth1 !!!). So RAGNARÖK is meant to be the awkward lead synth it used to be in hardware. Not to replace others, but augment a nice synth setup with other instruments (as it did in my hardware and live performance days).

Exactly what we where shooting for

I would, though, recommend to sort out clicking when changing poles, and make those 3/4-position switch knobs editable via up-down mouse dragging, too.

Yep, this has been mentioned before, and Björn is aware of those issues.

You mean old hardware synths that are very expensive to produce? Sure, a limitation of the time. Software shouldnt suffer from such limitations. If you want to go down the 'accuracy' route, remove the polyphony too...

Yeah, well.... as it is my hardware that is emulated, and I'm responsible (together with Björn) for the software version as well, it seems to be my call... so there you have it

It's a free synth, you don't have to like it, you don't have to try it.... basically you don't have to 'anything'. We choose to build it and release it, you can choose to try it or not

We don't owe each other anything

Have you still got the original? Never heard of it, got any pics?

Something is cooking: RAGNAROK - RELEASED !!!
