Creating Famous synths in Mux

[plutonia]

Many talented and creative mux designers on this forum. Wondering about the possibility of a collaborative effort to recreate well known or new synths in mux. Would be fun challenge with useful end results and those involved would learn new synth design skills from one another.
Having recently bought Roland's sh2 and Arturia's sem v, it got me thinking that it"s very likely that these could both have been created using the ever expanding mux modules, if I had the know how.

In a sense yes, and in a sense, no. Broader aspects, like the architecture should be easy enough to replicate, but the closer you want to get to the 'character' of the original oscillators, filters, envelopes etc, the harder it will be. That's because you dont really have any means of modifying the internals of the 'generic' components that MUX gives you to reproduce the specific artefacts/behaviours/character of the original. There's no way for the user to change the filter response to make it sound like the specific Roland SH2 filter, for example, you're limited by whether its already in that ballpark or not.

So, if you wanted something with the layout of, say, a Minimoog, that'd be fairly easy. But it wouldnt necessarily sound much like one. Making it sound really close to a Minimoog would be very hard, or impossible.

(That's not a problem in and of itself, though. Something with the layout of a Minimoog but an interesting sound of its own is perfectly valid)

That's what I was looking for with a sylenth clone. Not the character, just the layout, a synth with the same layout, but a sound of its own. I did hope it could load sylenth presets, but I understand now that's not possible for many reasons.

Is silencio a layout clone? He it is, then then presets could be manually copied to give mux a greater library. Why do this when there's sylenth, I hear you cry! Well, sylenth costs money, I already have a mulab license. So for existing users and those wanting mulab and mux it would be a great addition to the team.

Also, how about having a more advanced version of the mux, available as a separate purchase that has the ability to create synths with more varied tonal characteristics. Sort of a MuX+

Just to be clear... As stated above by WR, have user editable modules, or allow completely new modules to be created by users and shared with any MuX user.

for me, learning the architecture and coming close to the character of a particular synth would be fine. i'd like to build a moog sub phatty cos it looks relatively straight forward except for waveforms that morph form saw to square to pulse and the abilty to drive filter in two ways.
i used to own an an1x and it could create clangourous fm atmospherics like nothing else i've heard; the new reface cs seems to be able to do similar, so i assume same architecture.

if could create sub phatty and an1x that would be great!

That's already possible with the Multiform Oscillator

BTW if you are interested in programming, MatLab ($175 Home) will enable you to design your own filters (DSP Toolbox $49 Home) and VST plugins (Audio System Toolbox $49 Home) that plug into MuLab. (I have used MatLab, but not to do this.) http://au.mathworks.com/help/audio/gs/d ... lugin.html
