glad you all are enjoying it. i have a version 2 in the early stages, definitely gonna have separate mod/volume envelopes and probably more flexible modulation in general. and maybe some other things? i'm experimenting

also, relevant to crystalwizard's point, i'm thinking of renaming the synth to Mika Micro? just to avoid confusion with the cynthia vst. would that be too confusing? i can have the link redirect and such.
Hey

Could you perhaps look into my problem with hung notes in energyXT 3?
i can reproduce it! i noticed that only preview notes are hanging, not notes played while the song is playing. i tried a quick fix and it didn't work; will try some more stuff tonight

Ah cool! Thanks

+1
Long memory here, plus i was friends with the dev who made the original Cynthia.

Sorry to hear about the stuck notes. Here on FL Studio 12.5, I haven't had that problem. Great synth!

@halon: I just pushed a new build that fixes the hanging notes in EnergyXT on my end. Can you test it out really quick?

Since this topic already has a lot more replies than the one I posted a while back, I guess I'll use this as a devlog.

Here's my current design for Mika Micro v2. Good direction? Hopefully?

The knobs are better made but I would advise to revert to the original layout that is more common.
We are quite used to having the filter next to the oscillators (along the horizontal line).
As in the layout of the minimoog and so many others.

Also the filter cutoff is a very special knob and eyemovements concentrate more on the top of the screen.
Top left being the area of most interest (but the oscillators are always placed there).
Sitting at the bottom, it deserves more attention.

You might switch the lfo section with the filter section and then rearrange a few things.

Put the main fuchsia bar on top, with the name/logo left and the master volume to the right.

Looks great. Everything is easily accessible and well labeled.

Ended up simplifying the modulation a bit; it wasn't much fun trying to click 12 tiny knobs!

I'm feeling adventurous tonight, so I released v2.0 alpha 1 of Mika Micro

Let me know what you all think; I wanted to have the good parts of v1, but a lot more flexible and usable.

also if there's any embarrassing showstopper bugs right out of the gate i'm gonna be h*ckin pissed
