This is of course a valid point... I thought I could get away with having the user to edit the INI file for individual controller assignments, but then I lifted my lazy butt and decided to add a MIDI learn function to Kern. Of course the learned controller assignments can be stored back to the INI.

Cheers, Björn

Kern v1.0.0 is now released!

Cheers Björn

It says in the manual that you had to limit the number of controls, which makes sense. But I am not so sure about some decisions, like three knobs for chorus alone, while there is no release control for the filter envelope

The really good chorus on Tal's U-NO-LX does not have any knobs, just two buttons. Just saying because the filter envelope release is an important control that can make the difference between boring and funky

I know, I know it is freeware...

I suppose it will be picked for one of the next OSC's

Yes, seems odd, but the little knobs are kind of "hidden" controls that usually are not mapped to hardware controls. I could have added a similar knob for Release but I didn't

Cheers, Björn

Oh, I see. If it is about priorities, I suppose I would have made the filter velocity knob a minor one (like the amp velocity knob; at least with me velocity knobs are "set and forget"

) and the filter env release a major one

Anyway, now go and do Deputy or Blooo for a controller - Kernschmelze, so to speak

Thanks for another fine synth

In 'Mono" mode, only the first note sounds when playing a legato passage.

Mono non-legato is throwing me a bit - the filter envelope only seems to retrigger once it's completed its decay phase.
Is this intentional?

(And while I'm here: excellent concept, great sound [as ever] - thank you!)

Still don't get the advantage over the old way of learning MIDI to controls in regular synths.

I'm sure there is one otherwise Björn wouldn't have coded Kern but I'm obviously too dumb to check it.

Wow, good catch! No, it's indeed a bug, and not easy to see... Thanks for the heads up!

Hmmm, I couldn't reproduce that here (Reaper64 too). Maybe you refering to the same problem as above? In this case I'll fix that asap.

Could you drop me a PM or email about what confuses you? I tried to implement MIDI Learn the standard way - or at least what I think would be the standard way...

Thanks a lot guys!

Thank you guys!

I just uploaded v1.0.1 which fixes the Single Trigger bug in Mono mode:
