Released: Free Synthesizer Odin 2 [Win / Mac / Linux]

[sinkmusic]

An updated version with an option for a bigger GUI will be available in a few days - This is the #1 complaint and I don't want people to get stuck with the old version because they download now.

But it glitches a bit every now and then (I thought those were buffer overruns but checked and they aren't). Do you know already or what detail can I provide?

Hmm no I don't know about any glitches - any particular situations when they happen, or just at random? Feel free to send me a wavefile with any glitches in it. Maybe it can provide some more insight. You can find all contact info on www.thewavewarden.com/bug

Also: is this plugin free, or do you plan to set a price after the beta testing? What's a reasonable estimate? I like the plugin a lot since it's very easy to produce good sounds with it.

Odin 2 is and will be free once released. I'll probably open source it at some point too.

Are there pre-made presets somewhere?

No it's kind of the point of this open beta as well to collect as many user-patches as possible and release them as a preset pack. So far I received..... 1 patch

I will send some patches, but I can't really make any until crashing from ModMatrix assignments is sorted out. Some of the other bugs I can work around for now, but that one I'm not going to fight with.

I just uploaded Version 2.0.15 beta. This update should fix most of the freezes you were experiencing.

Changelog:
- fixed a deadlock when assigning modsources in some hosts
- fixed a deadlock when loading synth in some hosts
- removed a lot of linux-dependencies, which caused problems in some hosts
- adjusted behaviour of ADSR as modulation targets

As always, you'll find it on www.thewavewarden.com/odin2

I will send some patches, but I can't really make any until crashing from ModMatrix assignments is sorted out.

This should be fixed now - please report back if the problem persists!

Reaper 6.0.X Win10
Global LFO and global env still crashes host.
New project, insert new FX track w/Odin2
try to assign either global to first Source in matrix, get a brief spinning waiting mouse pointer and Reaper crashes.

Global LFO and global env still crashes host.

I'll look into it ASAP, sorry

I really like this. I think when everything is ironed out it will be a go-to bread and butter synth for a lot of people I've only been trying it for ten minutes. The only think I've found (in FLStudio 20.6) is the pingpong button doesn't work, the delay is mono regardless - I presume it's meant to be stereo

Thanks for your feedback!

I've heard the pingpong delay quite often now, and I think it boils down to how you think a pingpong should work: After the amp-section, the signal is stereo inside odin. Pingpong will crossfeedback the delay lines between left and right channel. What this fundamentally means is, if you didn't move the pan right or left, you are cross-feeding two identical channels, hence you think it is mono.

I am happy for explanations how this should be implemented differently, since a lot of people seem to expect different behaviour.

I think that there should be released what is unofficial patches, to better understand the operation and have a base from which to start. sorry my bad english

ah thanks for explaining, now I found the pan knob and it works as expected

I tried to reproduce this on 3 different machines - no luck so far.
I'm setting up an email inquiring more information to all users who experience this issues. If you sent me a bug report with your email adress this will include you as well!

Maybe the Legato button could avoid retriggering the filter envelope? Or have that as an optional mode?

It does a "soft retrigger" - meaning it won't start the attack from zero but from the current value.
You want it to not retrigger at all?

Just got around to installing it, very nice synth, I like it already. I only have had less than an hour playing around with it but so far no crashes or weirdness. I am running Reaper 6.08 x64 on Win10.

It always is awesome to see a synth basically just appear out of "nowhere" (but not nowhere to the devs, though, who have put in all the hard work behind the scenes for however long) and then on top of it, have it sound pretty damn good. A lot of potential and options for sound making right out of the gate. Was making cool sounds, at least to me, pretty quickly. Nice oscs and filters. I could see this having a nice spot in the rotation.

Good job, and thank you for this generous synth.

I see what you mean. Having re-tested, it's the amp envelope that I'd like to (optionally?) behave in the same way as the filter envelope.

EDIT: Still testing. It might well be OK.

It does not uderstsand the AVX instruction set

Is this true?
