Liking the new updates so far. Will the roland (Rolend) vst's be getting any future updates / tweaks ?

Not planning any updates or tweaks, other than the DAW automation compatibilty-fixes (unless somebody finds something amiss/not working right).

For the initial automation-fixes, you fancy something integrated, or one of the modulars? (I was tending toward SH-57).

The filter on the 101 doesn't seem as resonant as it's hardware brother (system 100M) I was fortunate to play a 100M a few years back and remember getting more squelch from it.

Yes - I made it quite clear when I originally posted these over at DSP Robotics forum, that there's no claim that these actually sound and/or behave like the hardware they are emulating - only their overall concept/signal flow/architecture. There's no hard-core physical modelling going on, just pretty standard Synthmaker oscs and filters. Filters are all some version of the SM SVF or based on a set or bi-quads someone contributed long ago.

You mention on the DSP forum about a synth called eXpando. Is there a download link for that available ?

Sounds interesting, would also like a download link for that one please

Yeah, it's based on the Oberheim Xpander, but it's extensive and unusual list of filter modes was very incompletely and rather poorly emulated by me. I'm currently communicating with one of the filter gurus over at Flowstone to see if he can help out with that. I was also planning on giving it a proper mod matrix (like Matrix-Six1). Currently, each mod target has a group of mod inputs; sort of ARP-style.
I can post it as it is, for the curious, but the filter's a bit of a mess.

Here's a patch for you, nice and squelchy

Many thanks, very 303 ish.

I did the automation compatibility for eXpando, since it came up. The filter still needs a lot of work and doesn't have keyboard splits, layers, etc. and no six separate outputs. Also lacks the Tracking Generators since I couldn't figure out how to do them.

Still - it's a modulation monster, with five LFOs, five ENVs, four Ramp Generators and 20 Modulation slots!

For those Roland 100M fans out there - automation fix:

Many thanks Kevin. Will download and explore

A new one (not in the Bundle) and automation-friendly:

Rolend SH-12; an emulation of the SH-1, but with the second osc, etc. from the SH-2. Plus cross-mod from 2 to 1 and the option of routing LFO to VCOs and/or Filter thru the mod wheel (the SH-1 and 2 had no mod wheel, just a 'Bender').

A couple of features not immediately obvious: The Saw in each osc can toggle to a Peak wave (sounds like a pre-filtered saw), and the External Input can toggle to a Ring Mod.

Nice one Kevin. Looking forward to playing around with this

Had time on the trip to get a few more automation fixes done.
