NUSofting Sinnah 1.1 UPDATED : Freeware, new features!

[filkertom]

Thanks! I will give this a try.

Love this! Now you just need to make the logo match the rest of the interface. Stay away from those Photoshop effects!

Thanks for the feedabck, so you think a plain logo would look better? I liked a bit of smoke around it

no, make the rest of the gui match the logo. i'm sick of cheap looking gui's that look like a 5 year old made it.

Having pop-up numeric indicators on tuning knobs
and others likely to be used with significant ranges,
would be nice, and have it offset from the knob a bit,
so the numeric display didn't obscure the mouse-pointer.


Or maybe a few knobs could be large enough for the
number to be drawn in the center of the knob.
Knowing the number where unwanted things start happening,
is a real plus. Zebra and other U-he products have some of this.
much appreciated.

Very nice way to introduce and ramp up a new product!
Look forward to testing.
Cheers

Nice one!

Having played around with Sinnah over an hour, I'm totally hooked on her character. Sinnah is a 'she', isn't she?

In fact, her character reveals her parentage. She is very alive and expressive, acting pretty much like Modelonia 2: slightly quirky, prone to minute (or not-so-minute) spontaneous aberrations, definitely not your run-of-the-mill VA. In other words, I love her.

I look forward to a build with the MW active and with a semitone setting for the PB.

I also agree with Layzer: make the GUI similar to the hazy logo, not the other way around! Sinnah would like a sensual dress; she told me last night.

Exciting times ahead, following her through adolescence!

Kind regards,

Joachim

I Love your stuff, Luigi and Sinnah is great! . Thank you!

Got a great haunting cello out of it! .


Some (needed) FR's:

- Sustain Pedal Support Please!
- External control by Modwheel or Midi Learn


BTW. I do like the logo! .

Nice. Trade you my B-Rate Bassoon for your Haunting Cello?

great to see new liqih!

i like the unique sustained sounds generated by the delay matrix. perhaps add another oscillator with short, high definition attack transients
of different acustic and tuned percussive instruments? like a wine glass struck with a fork? just an idea.

Good idea, an attack transients layer would expand the sound possibilites a lot.

There is already a display on many knobs in the middle of them,
doesn't it show up when you mouseover? Or is it too small?

Very nice way to introduce and ramp up a new product!

Thanks for the appreciation of the project.

mm... never thought of that, but you could be right.

In fact, her character reveals her parentage. She is very alive and expressive, acting pretty much like Modelonia 2: slightly quirky, prone to minute (or not-so-minute) spontaneous aberrations, definitely not your run-of-the-mill VA. In other words, I love her.

Thanks for nice words. There was indeed the plan to give her a unique character.

I look forward to a build with the MW active and with a semitone setting for the PB.

Right, those should be in the next update.

I also agree with Layzer: make the GUI similar to the hazy logo, not the other way around! Sinnah would like a sensual dress; she told me last night.

Well a hazy GUI could be fun but not easy to read. Also not easy to do with the vector drawn GUI as it is now
to make it zoomable. Anyway as much as the GUI is "good enough" for the majority the priority will go into the sound features.

Exciting times ahead, following her through adolescence!

Yes!

very very lovely and full of character!:)

Hi zxant. Thanks very much for your words!
yes Sustain will come with MW and others CC.

***** A question to everybody: what parameter would you link MW to, as first choice?

great to see new liqih!

great to meet you again!

While you are at work, I'd add a feature :

# Linux build

please

We are thinking about that (with Bernie), but the hard step is to start on a new platform, we''ll see

That would be awesome!
Could Juce be used for that? https://www.juce.com/

btw, I tried to run Sinnah with wine but the interface is very glitchy.

[Taifunk]

Thanks liqih!
I am happy to see a new synth from you!
tested,I like it
Nice UI and sounds really interesting and different from the stuff out there.
surely a resonant HP/LP filter on it would be nice
congratulations on the release

Juce could do of course, but that would mean for us to buy the expensive license AND to rewrite all GUI code.

About wine I guess we should turn off some GUI features, like the oscilloscope, to make it light enough to run under wine.

I'll vote for a drawable waveshape. An arpeggiator can be nice too.
