Aurora FM - New Win(32/64) VSTi FM synthesizer - Introductory pricing

[terriandralph]

Does the registered version come with more presets than the demo? I think the demo has only 2 bass presets.

[RyFi]

Sorry, unfortunately not. It's best not to think of the presets as a library of sounds to make music with; they're more of a demo reel, showcase, and examples of programming techniques to accomplish certain things.

My intent is for YOU to make your patches, not for me to provide them for you. I know that that's not the most popular opinion around, and I can see valid arguments to the contrary, but that's the situation for better or worse. If I spent more time making patches to include, I'd have less time to improve my synth, and that's not a trade-off I want to make. And I would hope that you WANT to make your own patches anyways, but I realize that's not true for everyone.

Fortunately, awesome bass patches are incredibly easy to make in Aurora FM and it takes a lot less trial and error than other categories of sounds... if that's any comfort at all...

The 1.3.0 update gives the synth per-operator feedback among other things.

[ElVincente]

Here's the full changelog :

Per-operator feedback!
Each operator can simultaneously be fed-back by itself or by any of its descendant modulated operators.
There's a new modulation target for each operator's feedback amount (FB <#>).
The redundant algorithms (those whose only difference was the location of the single feedback operator) are thus eliminated.
And while the apparent number of algorithms is reduced, the reality is that in comparison the number of algorithms has VASTLY expanded. (The new architecture is equivalent to having tens of thousands of DX algorithms (!).)
Additionally, there are 7 totally new algorithms.
And the algorithms have been reordered with consistent carrier and modulator assignment order. This improves operator compatibility between algorithms, encourages and facilitates sonic exploration, and improves the outcome of randomization.
Addition of 2 CC input mod sources assignable everywhere (CTL1/CTL2).
New Unison Rank mod source (Uni #).
Minimum LFO/S&H rate lowered from 0.1 to 0, step size halved from 0.1 to 0.05.
New 2nd Overdrive algorithm, less extreme and with more even harmonics than odd.
Delay now has 4 variations - stereo, mono, stereo ping-pong, and mono ping-pong (2Ch, M, P-P 2, P-P M).
Tempo-sync mode added to Chorus rate.
Pan control added to Part slot window.
Operator On/Off toggling from Algorithm diagram.
Ability to change the level of multiple simultaneous envelope points with ALT modifier.
Fixed drag-and-drop not working under some hosts.
Performance improvements.
Randomization improvements.
Bug fixes, crash fixes, and fixes for some inconsistent behaviour in some edge cases involving envelopes, looping, and mod source timings.

That's a huge one !

[crickey13]

That's a huge one !

Indeed, it is. Also a new overdrive algorythm, haven't tested it yet. The per-operator feedback is the biggest change which makes it much more than a mere DX style FM synth.

Good to have feedback per operator
But , I noticed the algoritms are missing that have multitple operators in a feedback loop , and the overall feedback amount slider is missing to control this single feedback amount .
Adjusting the feedback slider in an operator will not control the feedback loop in a mutiple operator loop .
Unless I am overseeing something ..
Edit : And I did oversee something , there is an input selector next to the feedback slider

Well, well, well, look who's back to once again publicly complain about my synth, in such a hurry to do so that he even complains about it publicly before realizing that he's WRONG about the thing he's complaining about... it's gentleclockdivider, ladies and gentlemen!

gentleclockdivider, who's been using my synth for 4 years in demo mode without paying me one goddamn cent for my thousands of hours of work!

gentleclockdivider, whose complaints about my synth he's been using for free for 4 years have been the first thing I've woken up to read about on at least 3 or 4 occasions!

gentleclockdivider, whom I've asked to send his complaints to me in an email instead of a public forum at least 5 times, and who still chooses not to because he'd rather have everyone see the things he complains about and thinks I deserve the public criticism.

gentleclockdivider, for whom I've specifically made requested changes and yet who still hasn't purchased a license, hasn't paid me a cent, continues to use my synth for free, and yet continues to keep showing back up to publicly complain about it!

gentleclockdivider, f**k OFF!

I was wondering if you would take it the wrong way .
Mind you that I could have easily deleted my comment but in the end I did not because I did not see any harm and thus I corrected myself in the post .
You my friend have issues , We had private conversations where I also reported bugs and where you explictly told me NOT to post in public, WTF ?
This is a PUBlic FORUM !
Your synth is awesome ,never have I said anything bad about it .
When wrong about a feature I corrected myself ( see previous post ) , that’s not complaining dude .
Your attitude is childish and borderline
I am also a ( non public )betatester for numerous well regarded developers , never have I encountered such behaviour from developers , be it independen or not .
Reason why I didn’t buu your synth was because of your last private post , which I will not make public .
Get real !
And why the f do you think I keep using your synth ?
I don’t , I just testdrive each new demo to see what’s new .


P.S . Thousands of people use my reaktor ensembles for free , which I also spend thousand of developers hours on
P.s.2 I bought plogue ops 7

[uselessmind]

Great to see this synth is still being worked on, so i finally purchased a license.

[RyFi]

Thank you!!

[mladi]

gentleclockdivider is on my foe list since ages.

Terrible guy.

Just stop making false assumptions !
Asperger , doesn’t have self awereness ..?
You don’t know anything about me or what I do in real life , instead you keep fantasising away .
I never used your synth in a production , let alone use it for 4 years .
I never publicly critized your synth , only giving positive feedback and feature resuests
A lot of posts from other people who mocked your gui design etc , why are you channeling all your negativity to me, tell me ?
It was and never will be my intention to make you feel bad about your synth , maybe you missed the part where I wrote “ it’s an awesome synth “ and I mean it .
So please , stop the psychological b.s ., bottom line is that you can’t take any criticism, like a lot of people on this forum.
I sincerely wish you all the best , I really mean that .
P.S. you may ask loomer , tal etc.. how their experience is with me as a betatester , they accept constructive feedback which you can’t .
Think about that for a second !

[RyFi]

blah

[gentleclockdivider]

writing blah like nothing happened
I hope the mods took out your last post where you called me a psychopath , asperger syndrome etc. .,that’s the kind of developer we are dealing with here , outrageous insults .
, extreme narcisism and self pitty .
Good luck .
