Not sure if you noticed but filters also have declickers (hidden page).TheNeverScene wrote:Yeah, the declicker isn't doing anything at all here. I've engaged all of them. The A/R adjusting takes care of most of it, as well as some of the plosion that happens.
Sound purty though, nice and simple. Wish we had a little FM or RM on it.
You can also route oscs 1 and 2 just to filter 1 or just to filter 2, using balance sliders. Ditto for oscs 3 and 4 to just filter 3 or filter 4.bryemye wrote:Once you get the hang of the synth in terms of timing and how each filter corresponds to the like-numbered oscillator, this thing really isn't that hard to use and has a lot of modulation possibilities that can lead to some pretty great sounds.

Where is BJ? Good question. I hope he's okay. You notice that this thread STILL hasn't been pinned and it's already the 6th.toonertik wrote:Still working my way through the thread...Taron wrote:Okokokokokok....

And was delighted to see THIS Taron...
I have a couple of patches using my SINGLE_CYCLE wavs and wow...
Yet to read all thread to see what peeps opinion on single_cycles is, do they really count as samples? They are more like building blocks for the oscillators to use.
I loaded in an Armen break and sure enough Diodow played it back perfectly>>> for sure this and similar is not allowed... but single_cycles
I mean, this is what was allowed in the Zebralette, creating s_cycles converting with wav2zeb or drawing within Zeblet >> similar with Thorn...
Still have a few pages to read to see if this has been resolved!
BTW... I know it is late but Happy New Year OSCers ))))
EDIT: Not yet resolved... and where is BJ?
No, you're not wrong. Diodow has a straight sample import. Not a fancy one, but one just the same. So you can essentially take a sample from Omnishere and load it into Diodow and it would sound identical to the Omnisphere sound.zarf wrote:Yeah, I think would be good to get some official word and I too hope all well with bj of course!
Have I got this right:
Some are saying "lets use the sample-based presets' that are bundled with the synth... it's OK 'cos they come with it"?
..and now:
"can we use single cycle waveforms (short samples we provide ourselves) because... well, it sounds good and they are only single cycle waveforms, not really samples"
And in both cases supported by: "We just did pretty much the same thing with Zebralette and then Thorn, right? So should be OK".
I'll go either way and enjoy the challenge... just would like to know soon so can get on with the track
fwiw, imho, both of these are not really in the spirit of it as i understand it. Sure it sounds nice. Samplers can sound nice. But this is a synth challenge!
Also, imho, the comparison with Thorn and Zebralette is not that simple. They have wavetable oscillators, and it is possible to configure the wavetables via sample import. You could achieve the same result and identical sound by editing the wavetables painstakingly by hand in those synths.
If I understand correctly, Diodow has a sample engine. It is effectively a sampler. Different thing? Correct me if I'm wrong dear wise OSC community
I am in no way trying to start a fight or saying other people are wrong - just respectfully trying to explore the issues and gain clarity on the rules for this month
Sure, bj's wellbeing is infinitely more important. Hopefully he's just busy or something.wagtunes wrote:Right now, I'm more concerned with where our leader is than the stupid rules.

, but it's not a biggie, more like a slight omission. Essentially, Thorn has both the "analyze a sample and use it in a spectrum OSC" and a full-on "load a sample and play it back chromatically as-is" possibility (the latter as an extra sample-based "noise" oscillator which comes with a default set of samples in the factory installation). The sample player in Thorn is even slightly more sampler-like when compared to the one in Diodow, actually, as you could also set the start offset of the sample, at a desired position in the sample file.
I'm happy with my bell tones so far - but my standards are probably pretty lowfunctionform wrote:My patches come out nowhere near where I want them. Here's a few names, NotBell, NotMarimba, etc
Emboldened by my relative success, I'm now attempting a flex-a-tone, of all things. If I succeed, I expect some sort of special award for the audacity! (kidding, kidding!) By default, the filters for OSC 2-4 are off so you won't get any sound for those oscillators unless you turn the filter levels up. The exception is if you move the balance of osc 2 to the center, in which case it will partially run through filter 1 which is open by default.Lempface wrote:I'm having trouble with the OSC mixer. I don't understand the "Level" "Sample Level" and "Balance 1-2", but I can still get a blend of OSC 1 and 2. I haven't been able to get anything sound out of OSC 3 and 4 though, what am I missing and how do the level and balance work?
Ahem, I made a visual representation as Guenon explained. Might as well post it - adjust this slider, and you'll get the sound for OSC 3+4...Lempface wrote:I'm having trouble with the OSC mixer.
