Added all these to my todo list. Maybe I have my terms backwards, but one is supposed to mimic a piano or guitar, where you hear each note when you slide. The other is supposed to mimic a fretless instrument. Delay is supposed to be smooth, looks like I started on it, I guess I forgot to finish / test it. Curved ADSR I want to. This was my covid/lockdown project, but it took 3 years to finish. It's not my day job, I just wanted to do an entire synth myself. Some features had to get cut to get it out the door. I'll get to these requests when I get a moment.

Yes, OSC has a Discord, I'll leave a weekly link.

I think it's a good idea with note glissando and smooth portamento. Both approaches can be good in their own way!

The ability to turn off modulations without deleting, suggested above, would also be very useful!

oh, i see: no
imho not necessary

it's just that imho the MTX view is kind of essential while browsing the presets
for example to easily view which modulations are applied where and in what way...

Here are some more thoughts after today's session:

1) I caught a strange bug. I saved my patch with all the tags, and even went to the presets folder, all permissions for this folder are provided. I clicked "edit preset", changed the name, clicked "ok" and my patch was saved under a new name. I change the name again, and after clicking "ok", my patch was deleted. It is no longer in the folder and in the browser. I've done this a few more times, it doesn't seem to depend on the characters in the patch name.

2) The volume of many presets easily goes beyond 0db, it's unpleasant. I think you need to either add a limiter at the end of the synthesizer audio track, or resave all presets with normal volume, maybe both. Also, "Luparia" has two sections: "Mpe" and "MPE".

3) As I said, it's great that the delay buffer has a maximum size of 32 bars, and the reverb has an infinite tail. It's also great that the buffer is saved when the effect is turned off, this expands the possibilities of using the delay as a looper. I feel like I could make one complex patch with a bunch of hand modulations and make a track with a single instance in the style of loopstation, I've already had some good sessions. But it would be great to have a buffer reset button for delay and reverb, because removing feedback and waiting for 32 bars to play the last time may be a little long)

4) Loud click when on/off any effect, especially delay and reverb with full buffer. I haven't checked yet whether this sound will be recorded into an audio track, but in any case it would be great to remove it if possible, sometimes this click happens to be much higher than 0db.

5) This may be interesting to you as a developer, although I don't understand the meaning of this phenomenon. Most presets weigh 1-4 KB, but a few of them are ~160 KB, and one, "MovieTrailerS" - 2,735 KB. Just a fact.

And I would just like to know what does the "Accessible keyboard" option in the menu do?

Thanks for the report, I'll look into these issues.

Some presets use are larger if they contain a wavetable instead of using a built in wavetable. I didn't notice that the preset designers did that, I should probably extract the wavetables and add them to the built in list.

It allows you to move between knobs with the tab key. And adjust their values with arrow keys.

Oh, I get it! Later I will connect my second keyboard AKAI and check it. As well as external wavetables.

wishlist/ideas/thought about STEP LFO:

1) speed is only available as beat/beat division ?
would be cool if there were also the option of faster slower in-between-free-running

2)
it always triggers/starts with note on ?
optional free running would be cool

3)
the white dot display is not representing the midi-note-on-reality (?)

4)
would be cool to be able to save/load step presets
for example a small dropdown menu (by ctrl-clicking/right clicking) with a collection of step presets to load, a "save as" to add...

1) Currently yes, synced to the beat

2) Adding an option for free running

3) The white dot shows the position of the global step lfo. There isn't another dot for each layer.

4) I'll add that to the todo list

thank you!

another (GUI interface) wish:

scrollwheel
it would be cool if all those dropdown-menu items
(like OSC unison voice count, SUB wave form, FILTER filter types, beat subdivisions etc etc)
could also be scrolled via mouse scrollwheel (that would be [apple mac] trackpad 2-finger drag) on mouse over

like it is possible in, for example, u-he plugins

imho some times easier and faster workflow-wise
than click on the spot, read through the dropdown, select the desired item and click again for confirmation...

Got to a bunch of stuff people asked for, still a bunch to do

Code: Select all

1.0.4:

Allow mod matrix entries to be disabled
Add pitch bend range
Fix MPE and Mpe tags (existing users will need to delete the presets and they will be recreated)
Clear reverb and delay buttons on panic
Draw all phase dots for LFO and Step LFO
Try and make delay less zippery (WIP)
Scroll wheel can adjust combo boxes
Fixed presets getting deleted when renaming
Add + button for loading wavetables from .wav files
Support wavetables without Serum metadata

super thanks!

unfortunately it crashes AU validation in logic
that is:
mac mini intel i7, mojave, logic 10.5.1

can send you crashreports (logic and AUval) in case of interest

relogin does not help
later i'll do a full restart
working in hostingAU though (which is sometimes more forgiving)
