[ANN] Repro-1

[Urs]

I'm just wondering - from Re-Pro Alpha you continued working on filter No.3. But filter No.4 & No.1 made some interesting sounds that you could not really get with filter 3. I also liked filter 2. So will Re-Pro have a way to tweak the filter to do some similar things?

All 5 were the same filter model, but they use different math algorithms to get there, each creating specific artifacts. What we refine is the model itself. The various algorithms may now produce slightly different artifacts.

Whats in that Tweaks tab anyways?

A few jumpers that help with things people might find odd, e.g. the fact that the LFO sawtooth is ramping up.

But also, we modeled slight variations that occur in oscillators, filters and envelopes. Each Pro-One sounds slightly different depending on part tolerances and calibration. We offer some under-the-hood variations, as per http://urs.silvrback.com/specimen

I would find it interesting if RePro-1 behave the same way as the Pro One. In other words - the same settings would slightly change form one point in tie to another. Those subtle changes makes the instrument feel alive, interesting and dynamic and give it a kind of personality. One of the charms with real analogue gear that one tend to miss in software emulations.

Just a thought.....

Only issue: There's no perceivable movement. Ultimate reliability was one of the advantages of using CEM chips. The Pro-One is an exeptionally stable analogue synth.

If we added "slop", it wouldn't sound like a Pro-One anymore...

What's that little knob (screw) between OSC Frequency and Octave? (Something like drift or pre-gain)

...btw the ui looks simply beautiful!

Nice article. Will we be able to modulate the humidity with an LFO? Also what will be the minimum and maximum air pressure settings? I want to try my Re-Pro in a high pressure chamber and then in near zero pressure intergalactic space. And yeah I want to move it quickly between those 2 places with an LFO. Is that a feature? Also is there a radiation trimpot? Surely a Repro will sound different at say the Fukushima Reactor No.1, or orbiting Jupiter. Can we modulate that with an envelope?

I'm not sure if we can model this good enough unless we have access to these environments. I can not imagine that we should postpone release until after the first commercial journeys to Jupiter.

The little trimpots offer high resolution tuning. For the slowest of beatings between the oscillators.

A NASA synth..hm interesting name

[Gosh]

the gui looks lovely. i only wonder if it is logical that the wooden sidepanels cover the rear connections of the synth?
cheers

haha thats what I asked a few posts back but I changed my mind:
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=455485&start=585#p6548427

I don't think it's logical for a hardcore synth but this is a softcore synth. The white reflections at the top of each sidepanel balance things out visually. The GUI looks fantastic as is. Don't change it!

sorry, i must have missed your post but i agree with you the gui is lovely

This is just looking and sounding really lovely. Being a Pro-1 owner, this has always been my most desired soft synth, because I refuse to take that thing out on gigs. Sampling notes of the real deal in Ableton has gotten me a long way, but this will be a game changer. Instant buy as soon as you guys are done! Just wanted to share my excitement...

When can we pre-order?

FYI I changed the topic title because the official name is now Repro-1, not RePro-1.

Also, some progress visible in this screenshot:



The reverb is still missing, but we're working on it!

Well, until then, you will be applying at least a basic finite element simulation of the heat/airflow within a terrestrial room, surely?
