One Synth Challenge #137: HY-Poly by HY-Plugins ( Peter:H Wins!)

[L-EctroBit]

I'm thinking about giving this 'OSC' thing everybody's talking about a shot this month. Synth sounds really nice from what I hear

That would be great TheWaveWarden. Welcome to this side of the challenge . I am intrigued to see what you can do with this synth. I heard two of your tracks on Soundcloud from a few years ago and they are very good.
I also think it would be nice that you take part joining to the vote for OSC136 Odin 2. I like to see what the developers think about the participating tracks. But if you are going to vote remember that a spreadsheet will be published in which all the votes appear.

Wouldn't this be a problem?

Demo Limitations
·Fade in/out every minute
·Save preset is not available
·Parameter states will not be stored in your project file

So, we have to leave the project opened until render or...
Let me try this, i want to make sure.

Oh, and hello again everyone

PS: Jesuschrist, so hot today!

That's for the paid version demo. The free version that we are to use for this OSC doesn't have those limits (it just doesn't have all the features of the full synth either).
Hope this helps

You are right, i was testing for a while. Thanks

For real? Instant 5 for everybody

Yeah. I figured this was going to happen. This is why developers hardly ever participate in the vote - unless they are competing with a track themselves. They don't want to make enemies unnecessarily, do they?
Never mind, forget about voting on OSC136. No problem.

So I look forward to hearing your entry this month. As you have seen this is a friendly community and the important thing is to have fun and learn new things.

[FrogsInPants]

woops, no polyphonic key tracking? ...assuming it'll be a "free version" thing.

Looks like this applies to the entire blue section of modulators. But not the LFO, sequence, and envelope modulation. This seems like something you'd have to go further out of your way to modify than simply disabling access to certain features, and it doesn't present a clear marketing message like the grayed out disabled features do. So I could be wrong, but this doesn't feel like a free version only limitation to me.

Oh, does someone here become your enemy if you don't give them the maximum? Everyone has different genre tastes and level of technical knowledge...

[wireframewolves]

Quick question for anybody: to get pitchbend to work, we need to drag the "pitchbend" modulator onto the oscillator "tune" knob? This seems to work although the PB- and PB+ values have no effect, maybe I'm missing something.

[L-EctroBit]

Ok, I see the problem here. I was talking with humor when I used the word "enemy" but you on the contrary are talking seriously about this, right? So, I'm going to answer your question seriously then.

The subject of vote distribution, as you probably know, has been discussed many times here at OSC and a lot of participants have explained how they value the work of the other contestants. There are many systems and they are all valid because the rules do not establish anything about it.

When some of my tracks are valued with a low score, sometimes I don't know how to interpret it because I also don't know what criteria the contestant has based on to do it. But a low score always forces you to review possible failures.

What is more useful for me than the votes is the comments, really. Many times I have received harsh constructive criticism about faults in the arrangements, the mix or the chosen sounds and I must confess that often my first reaction has been to feel annoying. But in the vast majority of cases I have realized over time that what they were saying was true and that has allowed me to improve a lot. So a low score often becomes your best teacher over time.
I hope this answers your question.

Now I suggest going back to the topic of this thread which is HY-Poly.

Hm, I mapped Pitch Bend to Tune but despite my pitch bend settings it only does an octave. Also, Env to Tune only does an octave Real shame the sound of this synth is superb.

[Tj Shredder]

I also found out that pitch bend settings are not doing anything. But you can adjust it between 0 and 12 with the modulation amount I guess. I hope HY will chime in... For me its usable, as I can work with 12, rarely bend more on my LinnStrument...

Man, that was a joke I am 100% going to vote.

Hah, no, I wasn't serious, but I wanted to hear a few opinions, so thank you for your response!) Next time I will put more laughing emoticons

OK, back to HY-Poly Free! If you don't know that this is a stripped-down version, it looks like a full-fledged synthesizer! Most of all, I miss a few more base waves. And then there was that strange patina of Lo-Fi in all factory presets...

For those who haven't figured out pitch modulation (most likely, everyone has already figured it out ): drag the pitch band to the " tune "and in the place where this" virtual invisible cable " is connected, click the mouse and adjust the degree of impact. Indeed, you can not bend the pitch more than + - 12, and settings like +8 -3 do not work (most likely these are really features of the full version), but in the range from 0 to 12, you can configure as you like, up to fine detune, it is also possible to invert + and -) Similarly works all the modulation in the synthesizer.
