Sonic Academy new synth!

[Phil Sonic Academy]

Hey Phil. Having a blast so far with this thing, I'm Genuinely impressed and excited. one question, Is the Chords resetting whenever the plugin is reopened a Beta Restriction or a Bug... I was leaning twords the former but just wanted to make sure. I'm running Live 9 on an 2017 HP Envy.

Yeah that is a beta restriction. No save no recall in this version

Beautiful synth, Arp and Chord functions are very cool. Arp preset arrows to go back and forward through presets not working for me. Mac High Sierra Ableton 64 bit.

Cool. Will check it out.

I've had a very quick go with the beta, and I'm very impressed. Sounds great. I can see ANA2 being my new go-to.
Are there any plans to add visualisation for changes made by modulation/macros — like Serum/Iris etc.

Yes we have it on our feature list.. just didn’t make the cut for release as we where already late.

Hi Phil, back again. cmd preset arrow is also hit or miss changing preset sometimes i.e. it sensitive to where the mouse arrow is placed. Is it also possible to have the black keys with the blue dots show more of a change (maybe colour or shade) when looking at the chords. The white keys are fine. Just suggestions, Thanks Ryan.

How many WT's ship with ANA2 ?

27 Digital Single Cycle
34 Analog Single Cycle
65 ANA 1 legacy Single Cycle
49 Wavetables 3D Wavetables
153 Samples

Thanks for info, is that number likely to expand as new versions are released or is the plan more synthesis features, tweaks to graphics etc. Or are there planned WT paid for packs on their way.

That's not an issue, IMO, since you have plenty to download on the Internet, if you want to. ANA 2 can read any WAV format wavetable. I already tested with Microwave wavetables, Komplexer waveteables, Serum wavetables, Reaktor wavetables, etc.

We have designers making more preset packs some will include wavetables. Not sure if there will be any ready for release but should be soon after.

I will continue making some stuff too so will just add them along with various updates.

Ive tried a bunch of 3rd party wavetables from the likes of Cymatics etc. they mostly seem to work well. We have been in touch about converting some Designers serum packs over to ANA 2... we will have to see how that works out.

I already found something unexpected. If I import a sample file of a wavetable, it is recgnized as such (what you call 3D). But if I place that same wave file in the very same folder manually (using Windows Explorer), ANA 2 doesn't recognize it as a wavetable. Does this mean I have to import all my wavetable folders ONE BY ONE manually?

There's something else - I thought we had a 3D visualization of the wavetable, but apparently not (or I am too dumb to find it).

And I found what the problem is. ANA doesn't recognize wavetables unless they are ALL in the 3D Wavetables folder. Any sub-folder makes ANA treat them as normal single cycle waves. NOT GOOD

EDIT: I saw you explanation. I will rename the sub-folders.

EDIT 2: It works. It recognizes the wavetables. However, ANA doesn't display the folder/sub-folder organization, but a single list with ALL the waves by alphabetic order. Again, NOT GOOD. I was expecting to see the folder tree, although with the names starting by 3D, not a single list. If I add the many wavetables I have been building and collecting, this will be a complete mess. I guess I'll have to keep them outside, and adding only those I will use, and when I'll use them.

Anyway, on a positive side, I like the sound, overall. And that Unison in the oscillators is really creamy. Just loading the Virus Template is instant gratification

If you go in to tree mode in the waveform browser you can add custom folder locations... i think you will have to add each individual folder but that should give you access to folders within folder with bettr organisation.

I will double check how it works here.

DLC reminds me of gaming DLCS , missed the charity bid for ana2 :/

Doesn't work Phil (just tested). ANA only recognizes one folder hyerarchy. Nested folders aren't recognized (even if they are named starting with 3D). Everything shows up in grey.

Yeah you are right just tested myself... I think we should probably just require the main folder to have the "3D" tag and everything in it should just work as 3d files. will add it to the list.
