Edit: Despite all the complaints, this thing is really powerful sound-design-wise and is very musical.

Please see my numerous videos on Spiral Generator: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... wvvYdt--2y

@Architeuthis: Can I ask you to please publish some more presets soon, i.e refering to this [1] video and looking forward to the featured Basedrum and Snare patch and the Bass Patch as well.
I'm learning by example like I think many users do and as such patches in the usual categories like Bass, Plugged, Pad, Atmos, Piano-like, Drums, Percussion, Musical FX, FX would be good for me orientation...I bet you know that a reasonable set of presets would help to make it easier for users to start and be able to get a good impression of the capabilities on a "headline" level.

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the WIP manual - really great, and helps explain things a lot. Really appreciated.

Hello everyone. I am so excited. I didn't take part in OSC for ages and I am in this month. Incredible! Wish everybody inspiration and luck.

UPD:
Damn, this thing is weird as hell )
It's sounds like uncontrollable FM synthesis ) Don't want to offense the author

I thought I'm a tough guy and don't need any manuals. But I couldn't get any listenable sound out there so I am asking for presets / manual too

Architeuthis · Post by **Architeuthis** » Tue Jul 04, 2017 9:07 pm

yes, presets coming soon. Also don't forget in FL studio and possibly other hosts it's non-functional. Update coming soon. I'm trying to get in a "CPU reduction" before I update as well.

Edit: I mean at the very least is super easy to get a basic filtered sawtooth sound. Sooo, it shouldn't that *that* daunting. I would like to make a video exploring the parameters and what one would use them for.

Edit: Guys, trust on me on this, this synth is *actually* easy to use once you get the hang of it. Maybe this one is "difficult to learn, but EASY to master" heh.

It has so far been super fun to work with, you just have to accept its premise and quirks.

Understand that it's virtually impossible to have channels in phase which means wicked stereo space but also requires work around for bass and drums.

Also, there are no safe zones. The noise crowd will be happy with this one.

My main gripe is the envelopes which just don't seem to work quite as expected.

My track is actually close to finished...

I agree. Will be improved in the future.

PERCUSSION PATCHES!!

Here's a track I made with a few of them

That percussion track sounds awesome! I really hope this thing works for me in Logic after the update. Usually with freeware stuff I am pretty take it or leave it so if it doesn't work right away I look elsewhere, but I am really eager to get this one working because it is so unique and quirky (i.e. right up my alley).

Spiral Generator udpated... jeez forgot to increase the version number.

http://www.elanhickler.com/Soundemote/S ... ator_2.zip (includes new percussion patches)

The only change is that it works in FL studio, possibly works now for other hosts as well?

I'm getting ready to do an update to reduce CPU usage.

Just so you know, safari says the mac installer is damaged and cannot be opened.

HOLA!
I created this in the spirit of movie trailer music. Big synths, impacts, sub drops risers and downers, rythms and percussion. All are a plenty in this tidbit. Luckily this synth lends itself to some gnarly sounds, albeit very difficult to control. I rendered some sounds out to save cpu.

Created in Ableton Live 9
Spiral Generator 71 instances used.
Fx used:
auto filter
auto pan
compressor
eq 8
grain delay
limiter
pingpong delay
reverb
saturator
simple delay
utility

loris16148, very happy with what you created! Love the cinematic feel. Finally someone other than me has used spiral generator correctly.

For a monosynth without unison its not that much really.

Loris - First Impact by @loris16148 - Jeez, that's awesome! I will rate it as 5 xDDD

As for me I couldn't get any pitchable sounds, every key on a keyboard generates not tonal but FM synth without 'Ratio' parameter. So I have no idea how to make ARPs like those one in this track. Need somke the synth more, I guess. No luck with saw too ( Maybe a 'default' preset with that one would be useful too.
