Just a note that the AIO pack will not be updated to 38-1 until there are some updated skins.

In other news, great addition!

Thanks!

Holy shit man, now Oatmeal can sound genuinely obese!
Now it really is a powerful VA. :O

OATMEAL UNISON TEST
Patches used:
Two of Ann's (StringBells VS, DiscoLEAD)
Three of mine. (Supersquare, Retrostrums, Stupersaw)

(All edited; mainly removing chorus. Recorded in realtime)

Downside: Sync/FM patches using Unison don't work very well, since OSC 2 is used as a modulator. (Only OSC1 is being fed this way) Unless there's a possible fix for their behaviour with the unison module, it's pretty much beneficial only to straight 2-OSC.

I think the freeware zone is being spoiled too much. :O I can see the tarnceheads going nuts over this now. :O It can already sound retro, now it has a proper unison! (Instead of Chorus in irregular/fm mode!)

It's not as light as Helix in terms of CPU, but Oatmeal is one unique VA.

Question: How does one use the phaser feature?

Thank you Fuzzpilz!

i used oatmeal before

and i will use it even more now!

Fortunately i have just upgraded to a quad - oatmeal has become much fatter in sound but also quite a bit in CPU usage. Well - perhaps these two things go together..

With tons of nice presets available could you go for a more comfortable preset organization? Would be nice if one could not only work with banks but also categories or so. I know this is a weak point for many expensive commercial tools and so i do hardly dare to ask...

Dang man, you're on quad and you still care about CPU usage? At low latency (Cantabile Lite, SB Audigy 2 running on an AMD Sempron 2400+ 1.7GHz) Oatmeal still manages to survive. (Though with long-release sounds plus big poly I have to up the latency)

I just got my Pentium Dual Core 1.42GHz laptop, and have yet to test its limits.

(Note: I'm talking from a live performance perspective. Otherwise when sequencing I can just up the latency)

I don't think this would be possible, one it's too much to fiddle around with what's already established as a bank system. Two, He'd have to rewrite how Oatmeal handles presets if this were to be. (ie: Your idea would mean to convert banks to 128 presets, then be put in folders like in Albino. Then there's the FXB usability gone.)

Very cool. Though the skin I was playing with wil need jigging about again...

The unison controls don't seem to be effected by Random, should they not?

Thanks Fuzzpilz.

The patch generator currently doesn't make use of the unison parameters, no. There probably will be some adjustments to it in a while, though.

program change plz!

Thanks for the update Fuzzpilz. By the way, the Oatmeal patch generator is simply amazing.

Thanks for the update, Oatmeal is one of the finest free synths available IMO.
As for the random patch algorithm, I was just showing it to my wife and she said "No way that was random, it's a stored patch, look it even has a name (made by a horse)"

Ha. Maybe if I had horses making them the results would be better.

Oatmeal 38-1 (hacky unison added)
