One Synth Challenge #89: Tunefish4 by Brain Control (Meakaale wins!)

Well, I don't have any problems with loading presets

Maybe some of you could try to use fxp programs instead of the built-in system?

Yes, what has worked for me was using fxp programs and always having it on INIT 0.
On OSX/Live 9.

Yup, using Reaper (Windows 32-bit) , and TuneFish 4.1.0 Beta4, I stay on INIT0, then use the Reaper patch saving/reloading system using .fxp, and so far it works fine soundwise, but doesn't show the actual saved parameters (nada, nothing). To get the parameters to show, I then use the RichardSemper trick of clicking NEXT and PREV, and it magically fills in all the text and param values.

Hope this helps someone. I guess it may be a small entry this month

I have been messing around with the first version that was available at the start of the contest, before the fixes started. After having the saving/recalling problems like everyone else, I started using the Reaper system exclusively. I don't get this problem where you have to click back/next to have parameter amounts restored. I've been using my own presets for starting new patches, but have accidentally mousewheeled into the included presets (using the box in the top of the FX chain window) without any apparent lasting problem. Maybe it has to do with something included in the fixes? I have not started a large multi instance project yet. The synth seems light on cpu and undo works good with parameter changes and fx assigments. 64 bit Reaper on Windows 7.

I have a question. Is Reapers parameter modulation system forbidden?

I skimmed through this thread but saw nothing - has anyone tried using pitch bend? I have an issue with setting +/- 12 semitones and pitch bend, doesn't seem to be getting the right frequencies - e.g. play a note C4 bend up 100% (should be C5 now), play C6 bend down 100% (should be C5 also), but the notes are totally different. Like the scaling is wrong on the C6. Anyone having a similar issue?

[z.prime]

Man, playing around with TF3... wish these two synths could be merged somehow, seems like TF3 is more flexible (?), but the oscillator modulations are pretty slick on TF4... /me sends payne_bc the schematics of the BSE

[z.prime]

Is [insert DAW here] parameter modulation system forbidden?

No way! Modulate the synth parameters by whatever means your DAW allows! (Ahem, Bitwig is king of this)

Cool. No idea what I might do there, but good to know.

Oh no. Pitchwheel... I put ReaTune on the track and it showed A4 at -0.06 cents [edit. maybe not most scientific testing procedure. ReaSynth shows same number]. Put a PW event at max up and it was off by some significant amount. I cant remember now, because I had it set to 1 semitone then switched to 12. It was going from A4 to G6 after that! And also, now it is playing A4 at +0.34 [edit +34.56. MTuner shows 35. No FX, mod, or filters. No detune or slop. Everything except volume(s) at 0]cents after pitch reset. Confused.

Set the pitch bend amount to 7.. .that's the octave. It's a bit weird.

I wish there was kisses for this, too, but that might be pretty weird...

[nickamandote]

When changing presets in Tunefish 3 while song is playing sometimes FL studio gets stucked and must be closed. But still more useable than Tunefish 4 so I'm going for this for my entry.

You two would make a pretty couple.

Diatonic??

[Guenon]

What a quirky synth (in a good way, too). Hey, just to make sure: in case I give it a go, is it okay to use both 3 and 4 in the same project, or is it imperative to choose one?

[rghvdberg]

working on this: 6/8 rock (?) or something

Just some basic sounds for now. I find sound design a bit challenging with this synth, but very fun!
