Is there a way to control oscillator pan per voice with a Drunk modulator or LFO? If I assign a keygroup level Drunk modulator to keygroup pan, and then hit a chord, it affects all the voices together instead of affecting each voice individually. I'd like to have each voice randomly moving to a different pan position. How can I make this work?

Thanks,
Jacob

After experimenting a bit more, it seems that the problem actually happens when putting the modulator trigger mode into any mode other than Retrigger. If I put it into "No Retrigger" or "Legato" then it pans all voices simultaneously, but this is not what I want. I'm trying to get the modulator (drunk or LFO) to not start in the center every time the note hits, which it does this when in the "No Retrigger" or "Legato" modes, but those modes seem to change the LFO from being a voice level LFO, to being a program level LFO. Is there any way to get the change the Drunk Modulator or LFO so that it continues at the last phase it left off, instead of starting at the center, but also keep it as a voice level LFO?

Thanks!

Random LFO do not start in the center every time.
Drunk does however.
A retrigger Random LFO is what you are looking for.

Is there a different Random LFO besides the Random S&H LFO? I tried the Chaos Lorenz and the Chaos Rossier, but both of those seem to start at the center.

I thought Random S&H might work for my purpose with the Smooth turned all the way up, but the smooth seems to push the start values toward the center. Smooth should not change the start value should it? I thought smooth should just change the transition between points, not change the starting point?

The other thing that I thought might work would be to use the Drunk LFO and use the External > Other > Random modulator to modulate the "Initial Value". This seems to work right visually (just looking at the Initial Value knob), but when listening (and looking at the pan knob), the starting value of the pan always seems to stay very close to center, though it does get wider if I keep the note held down. In addition to that this solution limiting, in that I can only use one of these per voice because the External Random modulator supplies the same random value to all parameters in the voice that are modulated by it, correct?

I'm left with nothing that works as it seems like it should.

I want some kind of a smoothed random where the start point point is not towards the center, and be able to use multiple of them per voice. With the wealth of options in Falcon it seems like this should be easier. I've not had so much trouble with this in synths that seemed less capable. If there was just a way to make the LFOs be free running and still per voice; this seems like the way that most of the synths I've used work.

Thanks!

Will have a look regarding the Drunk and Random for initial value, this should work fine so this is maybe a bug.
Same thing for smoothed random LFO, the first value should probably not be smoothed

May we please, If possible, have a speed of 0.00 on the Flangers?
(zero speed is available on the Phasers)

Will GUI scaling ever be considered for Falcon? I'm finding that with very different resolution of monitors, that is becoming a differentiator in plug-ins.

We need an urgent hotfix for the broken crossfade looping in version 1.05, since 1.04 x-fade looping is borked. I added the bug report 2 days ago, thank's.

[otristan]

@jacobh those were issues which are now fixed on our end.
@Sampleconstruct See our beta tracker
@Echoes in the Attic We already handle the retina display on OSX. We don't have any bitmap in Falcon so this is technically feasible.
@newuser2014 Will have to take a look

where it?

@ jacobh
A bipolar random lfo modulating a *centered pan knob , pan will modulate to the right and to the left on a per voice basis only in retrigger mode.

With the random LFO set unipolar the pan knob will only pan in a random manner to one direction depending on the "ammount" slider set Positive or Negative yielding a right only -or left only modulation.

Interestingly, the smooth parameter acts as a ramp in these scenarios. While the bipolar ramps right and left, the unipolar random lfo ramps in two directions >on one side< of the stereo field, sometimes ramping toward the center and sometimes ramping toward the right (or left) again depending on the slider.

When you say you want a smoothed random do you want "ramping"?
~just curious.

Off topic, but here's to hoping you guys do the same to MOTU BPM! I'd kill for an updated version of that as well.

PS: or alternatively, adding a BPM style sequencer into Falcon would be pretty bad-ass as well.

[Sampleconstruct]

Version 1.06 is here, thank's for the quick fixes!

[Sequent]

Already posted in my user account. Yes, thanks UVI for the quick turn around! And thanks to the more advanced users like Sampleconstruct for catching these!!!

Thanks! I just downloaded 1.06, and tried out the Random S&H LFO and it seems to be working as I would expect it. The smoothing no longer affects the start position. Thanks for the quick fix!

I then tried to do as I described previously with the Drunk modulator and when I right clicked on the Initial Value controller to assign the External > Other > Random to it, Random no longer appears in the Other menu? Was it moved? I haven't been able to find it anymore.

Thanks!

After installing 1.06 reaper crashes everytime i try to open the soundbanks-button. Stand alone the same!
Does anyone else got this problem?

Win 7 64 bit, Reaper v5

1.06? I only updated to 1.05 yesterday...sigh
