oh, i'm not denying that, it's an extremely versatile synth, no question. yet, the possibility to lock and adjust the osc phase is something you can't work around, once you need it - and sometimes it is crucial. and as i like surge and it still is actively developed, i thought i mention it. was worth a try...
You go, BIG (TONE) guy!

So far, I have found that any synth that has BIGTONE patches, that those patches have defined the sweet spot in the playability of that particular synth, be it with PB, MW, AT, etc. :D

Oh yeah definitely want to add this. There’s a set of request around like https://github.com/surge-synthesizer/surge/issues/867 which are on the list still

I want to hold this one until I can move ui elements around more easily (the surge++ code name project) and make a couple of internal changes which you don’t care about but which matter a lot. That will unlock the ability to add many more features in 2020. Adding fine grained phase and lock control to the current vintage codebase is really painful though. (But that issue I linked does contain one of my favorite open source Maintainer memes where someone tells me it is easy to code - chuckle. They are right the lock is easy but integrating the lock in the synth is painful).

Thanks for your excitement about surge and sorry this answer isn’t as immediate as some others.

how to save wavetables embedded in presets seperately?

There’s actually no way to do that in the synth, I just realized!

Post

it will be nice to have that :)

Currently, the only way (as I know) to use wavetables from other patches is to copy/paste the Oscillator, which includes wavetable, if used.

Ok confession time: I think I fell in love with brok when I heard his "Bigtone Ambient Pads from Albino" demo for Albino 2, back in 2005/6.

For the past decade that kind of stuff has come from huge gigabyte Kontakt libraries, numerous ones, yet brok was doing that kinda stuff a decade and a half ago with a few kilobytes.

I agree! I added an issue

https://github.com/surge-synthesizer/surge/issues/1341

We’ve stabilized the code now for a 1.6.4 release early next week (will announce here when we ship) but we can add this feature after that. Also depending on your level of comfort with the command line I could easily give you a python script which extracts the wavetables from a patch. But that’s obviously a stop gap only

Post

thanks Baconpaul,i will wait for it to become a feature.
