So far so good. Had a play with Subtractive.

In Rack, Breakpoint, lfo etc... modifier. Setting it to follow "Note" still not working.

Anyone noticed the phaser effect in waveform goes down to 0.01 hertz and version 10 goes to 0.0 hertz? However, I'm running a synth through it and if I bring the rate all the way down and up, no more modulation for me in both version. This is on osx high sierra. I'm playing the synth with a controller but playing with the phaser using the mouse btw. If I play with the depth a bit then it starts working again.

Thoughts? There's not enough being said about it.

Btw any idea how much it will cost for to upgrade from Waveform 9 to 10, and whether 10 will be released before the end of February?...

I'm not much of a synth person, to be honest (remaining appalled by the naff naff naff dx7 presets that afflicted mainstream 80s music), so I just flicked through a few presets. Got crackling on some - no idea why; maybe they had some distortion programmed on them.

Upgrade expected to be around US$59 and release date expected to be within a week of the 18th.

I read "within" but I will translate that as "on". Shut up and take my money!

I'm missing breath control in Subtractive. Maybe you could add the option to replace poly or channel pressure with breath pressure (MIDI CC 2)? It would make Subtractive usable for us wind controller players.

Subtractive is beautiful synth and great work on Ubuntu Studio 18.04

Do you know what presets exactly? If they're in a big session it could be just that they were causing buffer under-runs? Can you see what the CPU meter is doing when you hear the crackles?

Sorry, this is a bit out of scope for Subtractive as it would require the addition of some kind of mod-matrix or assignable CCs. That would take it beyond the simplicity we're aiming for here.

All this flexibility is available in BioTek though.

If you could just assign CC 2 to modulate the amplitude of the envelopes, then it would be solved.
You need to be able to set breath tracking separately for EG 1, 2, 3 and 4 like this:
With a depth of 0, there is no influence from breath (like in current version)
With a depth of 100%, breath controls the EG amplitude completely.
Settings in-between makes breath have more or less influence on the EG amplitude and thus the parameter(s) that the EG controls.
This shouldn't be very complicated. It certainly is simple to implement on an analog synth.
I have implemented breath contol like this on the Oberheim Matrix 6 and it works very well.
If you want, you can make this assignable to an expression pedal, instead of breath, to make it useful for other than wind players.
You'll have to add a knob for each EG, marked "expression" and then a global setting to chose from breath or expression pedal.
This would enhance the expressivesess of the synth a lot.
