@Kraftraum - lovely track AND .... Pov Ray?? A real blast from the past for me, more or less the first rendering program I used, along with doing dev work for GIMP 5.02!

Thank you very much. And: yepp, I play since 10 or 15 Years with Pov-Rays and find that it was a great way for me to make
some interesting, future style pictures
But i am searching another playground that is based on the POV-Rays programming syntax, but runs on GPUs. Do you have an idea / tip for me?

My God.... pov-ray... it yet lives?! I don't think, I've heard that name in over 20 years. A quick google and, sure enough, it yet lives: http://www.povray.org/
Not quite the same and a lot more involved is just writing shaders in real time using:
http://www.shadertoy.com/
Funny. Well, I wished I was ready for release, yet, but I've started writing a 2d web-based painter that has a number of entertaining paint modes to create futuristic images in seconds:

Anyway, nice tangent, thanks!

Your 2D painter looks great! Thanks for the tip ... I would be happy to receive more information in the future. And thanks for the Shadertoy tipp, but shadertoy don't like the Pov-Ray Syntax

Can someone explain the meaning of the 16', 8', 4', 2' notation on the oscillators? Looking at the spectrum for each of these, 16' effectively gives the odd harmonics 2n+1, 8' gives the harmonics 4n+2, 4' gives the harmonics 8n+4, and 2' gives the harmonics 16n+8. That leaves us missing the 16n harmonics. I'm guessing that this notation comes from starting with a 1' signal and all its harmonics, where each lower set of subharmonics 2', 4', etc. only adds harmonics that aren't already present.
In any case, in Fury-800, we're effectively left without a complete harmonic series. If we want that 16th harmonic, we need to use DCO1 and DCO2 together, in different octaves, so that their harmonics can be set to compliment each other (then transpose everything a couple of octaves). Or play a second note 4 octaves above the first and adjust its volume to match. Seems like using the DCOs together is the most straight-forward, since I don't really need the second oscillator for some other purpose. Anyway, I think I've solved my problem, but I'm still curious about where that notation comes from.
@Taron: Very cool!

Thanks, F.I.P!
Looks to me like these are meant as stops like on an organ, but just the octaves, hence 16,8,4 and 2, all doubling in frequency. Hence this is not like a harmonic series like you'd expect from an FM synth. I find it fairly straight forward.
...not to mention that it is meant to be a faithful clone of the poly-800...and apparently it is so, too.
I do miss a bit of complexity in this one, too, but then that makes it a good challenge and this synth is blazing fast. Except for Surge, almost every synth I've tried this year was so heavy on the CPU, but both Surge and this one are fantastic in that regard!

Hi folks - I've worked on this one long enough now to be able to release it to the massed audience of the KVR OSC! Although billed as a "quartet", it's really a jazz trio with a guest synth player!

Ah, organ stops. Thanks. This notation makes more sense to me now.Taron wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 8:08 pm Looks to me like these are meant as stops like on an organ, but just the octaves, hence 16,8,4 and 2, all doubling in frequency.

Yeah, the way they work in Fury-800 seemed straight forward to me until I noticed that missing 16th harmonic and started looking at the spectrum each stop provides in detail. I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't playing on the harmonics.

That looks nice. Pretty clean. What do your parameter sliders look like? A little more contrast for the blue would probably help, especially for the dark text on the blue bars. (And I tend to find high-contrast light text on dark backgrounds uncomfortable, so I'm guessing there won't be many people thinking the contrast is too high already.) More contrast would help on the sliders in the upper section, as well, maybe something like the gray in the start/stop button.

When will this be available?)
