One Synth Challenge #174: InfernalSynth by sjoerdvankreel

[baalisoda]

you have to change to Edit Global and afterwards you can change the parameter of the effect or change the routing on the left side.

Easier way: Use clear instead of init

Thanks a ton, mate! Got it

Random seems to repeat the same sequence or I didn't set something right? And is there random on note option?

<< Does anyone know how we can use pitchbend
You can't, I never implemented it. VST3 does not explicitly define pitch wheel, but it does support midi cc messages. And, by the looks of this https://forum.juce.com/t/cant-see-any-m ... in/38102/5 and this https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/ ... d82d7cd016, i suppose it can be done. Put on the to-do list.

I don't know many (any?) VST3i's which don't implement pitchbend - all our synths have a controller for this
In your to-do list, remember you will need a space in the UI to set the PB range in semitones.

I guess MPE should be on the to-do at some time too - but that would be another whole layer of stuff!!!

Oh yeah it would be great to play with InfernalSynth using mpe imo...

In my case it crashes Reaper. I tried several options (run as dedicated process, as separate process with and without bridging or in a debug mode).

[MorphedDreams]

I have no problem with it in Reaper

Disappointing to see a Windows-only synth this month. There are so many free instrument plugs out there, why pick one that excludes so many people?

Agreed. Next month should be GarageBand Alchemy.

I've not had any problems with Reaper ... even using parameter modulation etc ...

Changing stuff on the fly, no issues. Must be something odd about your Reaper setup. Try installing a Portable version (can put it anywhere as it's self contained) and try it with that default setup. Just a few things to setup, eg audio device, paths and scan for vst's and you should be good to go. If it still fails then, something else is amiss!

Just to make sure I'm on the safe side - Question to the keepers of the secrets of the rulez
We are allowed to use Infernal FX as well as the Synth?
And we are allowed to use the "distortion" like fx in the Synth as well as in the FX plugin?

But I get lynched most times I say anything, so take it with a grain of salt

Try installing a Portable version...

Thanks for the hints. I found the reason of the problem. I did not copy the folders with presets and skins.

Yeah, I did the same, but realised before firing it up!!!! But, remember, Reaper Portable install is THE way to sort some problems - helps isolate the issue!

Glad you got it sorted ... have fun ...

Not this time You are right, if it's in the synth you can use it to 100% or even volume 11 !

The fact that the challenge is billed as "An open source semi-modular VST3 synthesizer and effect plugin for Windows only", I take it you can use the "effect plugin" as well as the VST3i.

NB: "Init" is an initial patch," Clear" gives you a clean slate to work with.

<< Random seems to repeat the same sequence or I didn't set something right?
Nope, thats the way it works for now. Resets on cycle end. I take it you want free-running random oscs/lfos? That'd be a great addition indeed.

<< And is there random on note option?
I don't understand, could you please clarify?

You are not the first person to have issues with this. Added a clarification to the project site, that the entire folder structure must be maintained.
