I see that the selected phoneme frame is moving in it's allotted space, but when released, the knob will go all the way to the full clockwise/counter-clockwise extents (as intended). Intuitively, it seems that the knob would turn smoothly from zero to full length without constraint. I still know too little to talk intelligently beyond this. Regardless, it's functional, it just seemed at first to be another case of unresponsive knobs, like I would see when running old 32 bit synths in a wrapper.

Edit: I do see that it's tied to settings for Blend and Steep. So It seems that it should scale itself when those other knobs are adjusted. Again, not a functional dealbreaker.

yeah, thats a bit unlovely.
its much easier to edit the length with the scroll-wheel inside the frame (in the timeline)

I think you would do well to include Simon ( Sampleconstruct ) in future Beta testing for new products

Speaking of new products...
Whats the likelyhood of getting an Effect plugin based on the Resonator Editor from Phenom ?

thanks for your suggestions

i got many such ideas during the last days...
the strongest request is for an iPAD version.
anyway, i can not guarantee that this will happen.

When set to Markers, how do I control the speed with which the utterances are performed, as the time envelope does not apply in that mode?
in Markers, Complete, Frame, Head, Tail modes the normal speed is used which cannot be changed. These modes are mainly for testing and editing the utterance.

Sampleconstruct wrote:Why is the frame position of the synthesized speech not available as a target in the mod matrix, so I could assign e.g. the modulation wheel to frame position and scroll through the utterances with the wheel or assign velocity to it which would make for some very expressive instruments?
its the U - the tooltip says: position control phonemes 1 and 2

Sampleconstruct wrote:How can I tempo-sync the time envelope, or better why can we not sync it?
there are 3 sync modes to sync the tempo. please see the Access modes: Host A, AS, AY.
especially the AY is very powerful.

i made a tutorial video on syncing:

After testing for two hours trying to get a really tight rhythm when syncing phonem position via random LFOs I am not so convinced, the sample and hold LFOs often hold forever and don't sample, and when using two synced LFOs the syncing is often untight/diffused, probably due to the length of certain phonems, I don´t know - anyway the two hours were fun and here is a first result:

Still no Trial Version?

(and hopefully useable longer than just 7 days ...?)

Controlling Phonem utterances and some other things via velocity in this little 5-8 experiment.

sounds like it was taken straight from TD's Exit album
which is a big compliment

Cheers, that video is blocked here in Germany (PRO/GEMA/licensing crap) so I can't watch it.

wow i LOVE this!

you should
i am just referring to Phonem in general

should work wonders with Kaleidoscope in FIR mode

Here is another impro I just played on the fly with a new patch, Phonem makes for some absolutely incredible sounds....
