Melt modulation is now bipolar.
Fixed Osc Retrig not working in poly mode.
Fixed Osc Retrig not working with non-overlapping notes.
Fixed Sub and Noise output affected by Logic gates.
Minor GUI fixes.
Thanks, I was just about to post this.

Next updates will be focusing on adding/improving features and minor improvements. And yes, Bank import as well. Any requests let me know and I'll consider them.
Just hoping MPE is a sooner than later update. ;)

Maybe along with an alternate "Neon Night" skin (with pastel neon colors and a dark core)?

I remember this being requested a while back for v2. I opted for a chorus instead. IMO, unison just isn't a feature that would be beneficial to Phonec's overall character.
I understand, thanks :)

They are saved - when I go to the presets list in the preset menu they are there, but when switching them by clicking the presets switch buttons on the plugin GUI, some are missing and not showing up. It happens only with my custom folder.

And is it possible to make the presets switch buttons a little bit bigger :)?

Thank you
Yes, I can make those buttons bigger in the next update.

As for the presets being skipped over, it might have to do with naming conventions. I remember some strange behavior with a three character preset name I think. Do the names of the presets being skipped have any particular things about them, like all-caps, underscores, weird characters, etc? It's bound to be something like that. Let me know and I'll look into it.
It skips presets depends of which preset I chose from the menu at first, so it's not about any specific presets that is being skipped. So, if I have 10 presets in my folder, and I chose preset no 1, and then press "next" from the GUI, then I have presets 2,3,4,5,6 in order and then it skips to 1 again. If I chose preset 4, then I have preset 5,6,7,8 in order, and then it goes back to 4. Something like that. The names are pretty normal, like Bass Arp01, Poly pad, etc. The solution I just found is to add the number at the beggining of the name of each preset like 01.Bass Arp01, 02.Poly pad, and then everything is ok and works fine. Also, I did't find the "delete" option inside the plugin menu - I have to delete presets from Windows menu. If that is how it should be then alright, but i think it could be useful.

Thank you for the support.

Phonec3 has been updated to v3.0.5.

Bank Import from Phonec2
Full bank import is now available! Installation will provide all the setup needed as well as a copy of the original factory bank so that importing is only a few clicks away.

Oscillator Drift
A Drift control has been added to the Oscillator section for providing analog-style instability between oscillators.

Echo Filters & Modes
A Dual Filter option has been added to the Echo, as well as a new Mix Mode for choosing Linear or Equal Power.

Sequencer Glides & Rates
A Dual Rate mode has been added so the Arp and Sequencer can have individual rates. The Note and Mod Sequencers now have glide controls for step smoothing and slewing. Additionally a Filter Modulation polarity 'Flip' switch has been added to change the behavior of the Mod Sequencer.

Here is a complete list of what's new in this version:
  • Full Bank Import is now available.
  • Major improvements to Import feature.
  • Oscillator Drift added.
  • Echo now has dual filter option.
  • Echo now has Mix Mode (Lin/Pow).
  • Sequencer Glide added to Note/Mod.
  • Filter Mod Sequencer Polarity Flip switch added.
  • Seq/Arp Dual Rates option now available.
  • Several additional fixes and improvements.

Thanks for the update! Already imported my Phonec2 bank. The filters on the delay are really helpful. Very pleased to see the drift control.

My presets import with the LFO level one decimal point to the right compared to the original preset, so 3.10 instead of .310, and so I have to go through them and turn the LFO level down. Also they import with the LFO set to sync instead of manual, which in the case of my presets makes the modulation speed slower until I change it back to manual.

The LFO Level in Phonec2 was 0-10 on the GUI control, Phonec3 is 0-100, but that's only a display value. Both equate to 0-1. So if P2 was 3.0, p3 will be 30%, but the actual LFO level should sound the same. Are you hearing a difference?

Also regarding LFO Sync, I will look into getting that fixed asap. Thanks for reporting.
