Here's how I would recommend approaching the development plan priorities of this synthesizer, to maximize its unique characteristics and FM focus:

1. Midi pitch bend - core functionality
2. Additional feedback types - selectable via buttons like the LFOs have
3. Envelope bezier curve adjustment
4. LFO routing to multiple destinations, each with their own amount control

Yeah, pitch bend is necessary. Thankfully, you can automate the master frequency, but its behavior is weird and nonlinear, making it hard to work with in certain cases (like with pitchbends).

But what if someone were to concont a jsfx script which would remap the pitch wheel to behave linearly in OctaSine? And hypothetically we could imagine that such a person would create a tutorial for others to follow along?

So here's my entry - I stuck with the 1st version Octasine, had some stability issues with project loading/crashing a few times. It's not much changed from the first draft - just a few tweaks and some mixing. Enjoy.

10 instances in Reaper.
Some ReaEQ & ReaComp.2 x ReaDelay. 1x Supermassive.
Slick EQ, Kotelnikov, Nova EQ, ReaLimit for mastering.

Plugin author here! Lots of great ideas for improvements in this thread.

MIDI pitch bend support will land very soon, as well as the option of having LFOs start at random phases. Apart from that, I will try not to release new features for the remaining duration of the month

This is my current approach so far, im going more mystery ambiental-ish, then idk, maybe turn prog or keep on going that way to a trance performance. Anyways, i ended up with a hangdrumish sound while making a pad, lol. The ONLY thing aside from the oscilator is a stock DAW eq (fl studio parametric eq) on some of the instances (mostly percussions and to separate frequencies). So far, i'm not comfortable with the percussions i made so i'm gonna keep iterating on it to see where i get to.

Just wanted to say thank you for making the oscillators restart their phase by default, it's a small but crucial detail, glad you didn't overlook it!

Very nice and simple, you could as well just trash all that percussion and have it as a single instance piece with just that nice hang sound… Sometimes less is more…

Hey ya'll! It's been a while. All feedback is enthusiastically welcome.
First draft: https://soundcloud.com/user-863453592/osc-170

FL studio, 7 synth instances, all compressors, reverbs, delays, eqs etc are native.

Ummmm... i think i derrailed a little while playing with the synth... i suppose. https://soundcloud.com/nazareno-mazzolo ... al_sharing

MIDI pitch bend and option of random initial LFO phases has now been released.

Then, taking this opportunity, I will ask the author - is it fundamentally impossible for OctaSine to work on Windows 7?

Many thanks for the pitchbend - just to let people know you set the PB range by Actions/edit patch settings.

I can now do a nice measured bass drop like a jazz bassist on a Fender Fretless.
