I had a play with the formant filter too. One way might be to assign an envelope to the filter cutoff and draw the modulation in that way within the synth.

Don't know if I'll finish something either this month. Spent too much time so far setting this thing up to work. Cannot get past five instances, and even then it starts stealing essential resources from the system and making it unworkable. (i.e. basic DAW functions stop working) Can get more by routing extra midi channels to each instance, so i've tried organising the five instances by type of sound, leads, percussion, pads etc. as the effects are global to the instance and not the patch.

Its a pity too that i've found no way to route different filters to each oscillator within a patch.

Also, has anyone tried the multi-out version? I tried it but i have no idea how to route the output sounds. I tried it in mulab and was able to get the summed sound output to work, but when output individual channels left or right i get either nothing (left) or odd noises (right) - this was in the daw's modular area.

Cool: 6 likes on my track!

Yup, that's what I did in the end. But, this gives you articulation for each note, but all the same of course. I tried using the "channel" filter in formant mode in series with the above, and then use a CC lane to control that - but so far it hasn't worked out. Lots of strange things happen - I find that new instances sometimes (well, often) simply do not respond to any changes. I can keep deleting them and adding them, and they simply just stay with the default patch. The only way round this is to quit REAPER, and start again. Not sure what to think as I have never had any issues with plugins before.

But, I am making some progress - a short 2 minute track is developing - but it won't be all good until I get me a nice kick and more tonal variety in the melodies.

Cheers all,

dB

Well, as we're getting closer to the middle of this month, I'm kind of disappointed that I won't be able to enter. This synth, as much as I love it, just isn't stable enough and really crashes my DAW hard.

I will be voting on all the great tracks that I am sure will be created with this thing. I'm just sorry I can't be up there with you guys.

Made in Reaper with 13 instances of BR808 (bass, "keys", guitarish, strings, melody lead, solo lead, and 7 percussive things), and effects/mastering via Reaper and BR808 built-ins.

LMAO...I love it!

I see you got the vocal thingy to work. I just wish I could get anything to work without crashing.

Very catchy tune. Best of luck with it in this EDM soaked crowd. LOL.

Thanks Steven,

Quite a change (again!) eh? I have updated as promised - extra tambourine like shaker in there now ... also, a subtle extra main melody voice with different articulation and also set to 8vb to help change the "vocal" sound in places. (if you think this is NOT an improvement, please let me know! - and anyone else as well, of course)

BTW, I did not use the speech stuff, but just a simple sawtooth waveform and the formant filter (modulated to taste!).

Cheers,

dB

Hello,

I am considering giving the OSC a try this month. Just to clarify one aspect on the rules.
On one hand we have that native DAW effects are allowed. On the other we have that modulation effects are not allowed "(e.g. chorus, phaser, flanger, rotary etc.)".
I am considering to use Ableton Live, which has chorus, phaser, etc build-in.
Are these effects allowed or not?

Thanks

Post

Not. Simple ;)

EDIT: The thinking here is that these types of effects take the sounds well beyond what the synth can often do. BR808 has a chorus built in so you can use that given that it is integral to the synth itself.

Post

Thanks. I do not mind either way, but was not clear to me when reading the rules.
Taking the synth for a spin now. Looks powerful !
