Out of curiosity I just checked Ultra in Cubase 15 and the LFOs work as expected with transport running, so this might be a bug linked to the AU version of Ultra.

I use Cubase, and could get issues, it's in a specific mode. Fix coming in 2 days!

LFO fix and few other fixes are due to go out Monday NZ time... Sunday for the rest of you

Very good

Hi, ultra_audio could you add MPE support please? I would like to use this synth with MTS-ESP for microtonal tuning. Would that be possible? Thanks!

So the latest version fixes the LFO bug but introduces a lot of crashes when manually creating wavetables from long audio files, I haven't been able to generate a crashlog in Logic yet.

Question: as of now there is no unison mode in the wavetable oscillator, is anything like this planned, sometimes one would like to enrich a given sound by adding detuned voices and spread them out in the stereo field, WT position index offset in unison mode would also be cool. Or has this been avoided due to CPU concerns?

So if you have a big multi-sampled ultrawave, and you play a note in between 4 sounds you'll be looking up the data for 4 wavetables, 2 cycles each, and if stereo, then that's 16 cycles. So having a unison on top of that is maybe a bit much.

We have thought about doing a simple wavetable osc, with only one wavetable, and that could have unison.

There's also unison in the sampler and supersaw oscs

I know that, but that's not the point.

One of my first Ultra patches, a wavetable cello detached layered with a super saw oscillator.

Any plans to add a saturation module into the osc signal chain... Maybe pre- and post-filter optionally?

As usual, some mesmerizing soundworks lieber Herr Stockhausen. Overall I can certainly hear an exquisite audio quality in general, call it hifi or cinematic or maybe both. Looking forward to check out the Linux version of this one for sure.

Dankeschön. Ultra does have a rich and distinguished sound to it, quite an all-rounder really. The resynthesis only works well on a certain range of sounds though, like many wavetable synths it fails at resynthesizing more complex and atonal sounds, I still prefer Icarus for these sort of tasks.

Icarus is really still the undisputed king of resynthesis, very true. Glad to see Markus still working on it in the background.

Post filter you can add tube saturation to the fx bus.
Pre filter (or during filter really) you have drive on 2 of the filter models.
Analog osc has a drive in the bottom right.

Glorious! Didnt want to ask for this as already suggested a Linux version.
