MPowerSynth

[jmg8]

I may be being thick here, but I cant seem to find where to set a random start phase for the oscillators in MPowerSynth. I can find the start phase position, however I want it to be random (like in unison mode. I guess I have to use a random modulator for this right? Please help if anyone knows, Thanks, Jason.

I guess I have to use a random modulator for this right?

Yes I believe this is right, there is no genuine random setting. But changing the phase also affects already playing notes because they are global, so a random modulator setup would not work as intended. I think there is no way to it except in unison mode.

[jmg8]

Yes, I just realised that too. Even if I synchronize the random modulator with lfo and sync with midi re trigger, it doesn't work. I need it to be at a different phase position per note. Oh, well, maybe if its not too difficult to add this option?

i was trying to find a workaround but no sucess. would be great if it was by default random with the option to retriger it

[jmg8]

Yes agreed, most synths have this as default with an option to re trigger start phase.
If the phase is different per note it has a more natural sound similar to an analogue synth.
Although for basses it is better to have it retrigger, so as not to cause phasing problems.
I think Vojtech dislikes trying to emulate old analogue gear so maybe keep the default as it is, with a checkbox to make start position random?

You mean initial phase for each oscillator? That's what the phase in Unison panel is for.

[jmg8]

yes, that's right, but for a single voice not unison.

try to set up an osc(with midi pitch and vol env mod) in the fx section, they are free running(and you can't make them retrig)

[MeldaProduction]

Well I added it low-priority to to-do list .

Thank you

thanks !
