Thanks Surge team for the ongoing clear explanations, the present and future versions are in good hands

Cheers

Otherwise we would probably call it Surge 1.10. But every param has to get a new vst3 ID at the edge of the synth.

It's far easier to just call it: Surge 2
There's your breaking change that is less jarring and more natural.

Except we didn't like that.

Was it the boring title? I've worked for years in Hollywood naming sequels for major film franchises. Feel free to use any of these if you like them: Surge Mk II. Surger. Surge Redux. Surge Too. Surge Two: Eelctric Bugaloo. 2 Surge 2 Furious. Too Surge to Handle. Two Surge and a Baby. Surge Hard: With a Vengeance. The Surge Towers. Surge Alone 2: Surge in New York.

It was the long long history of “abc 2” failing to ship or being a disaster when “abc” succeeded. Surge is too old to be 2 but we needed a new id so xt it was

Pianotec makes a new id for every major version and we’ve discussed that too for the future. But the future is far away. Right now we are just working on a stable xt with new features and new j infra

I get the impression that it’s a hybrid of 1 and 2, plus a bunch of new stuff. To be called Shortcircuit XT.

The code we have started as a snap of sc2

Not much sc effort this year though. Devs welcome

Hey there, I installed Surge a week ago and couldn´t get it to work with the installer. I use the portable version now.
I really like the versatility but also am a bit lost. Mostly when it comes to modulation. As Surge does not have a classical mod matrix it´s not so easy to track everything that is happening. Especially looking for a method to get an overview without clicking through all the mod sources (on all three oscillators on two scenes). Is there a way to produce a simple text file which holds every mod asignment?
I´ve been through the net on this for some days but don´t get anywhere. So forgive me if this is a dumb question or has already been asked.
Thank you for all your effort for this great synth.

The next version of Surge will have a modulation list that contains overview of all modulation in the patch. You can also right-click the modulation assign buttons to see all the targets they are affecting.

You are doing great work @EvilDragon and @bacon

Ah...thank´s for that. Very good. Surge is a very good sounding synth and very capable. These are the things that make the difference. Power must be controlled.
