Not random clicking, graphical clicking. Exactly like you can do in the harmonics generator in the oscillator section right now.

As to the horizontal scrolling: I mean, if you have lots of parameters now, you also need to scroll vertically. So if you have a lot of banks, you need to scroll horizontally. I don't see anything special in that. If you have lots of some, you have to scroll, that's the way it is.

Anyway... I am only thinking about my current use case, to enter lots of harmonics levels in a "graphical" way in the banks, sliders would be perfect. But you are right that for other parameters buttons might indeed be better / more precise.

So you might just leave it as it is, I will try to work with import/export and see how I can efficiently edit lots of numbers :-)


Randomizer - CableChannel come on, you promised you'll check things before you start posting them :D. You are randomizing harmonics! Check the harmonics generator... There's a reason 0% and 100% are used so often... Just play with the random generator...
:D Ehrm, I did :-). There is a small note in the docs but it doesn't really make sense to me. So that is supposed to be smart randomization? Why would that be smart? Is there more information about it somewhere? The help box is very brief on what the smart random does.

Something for the future will be nice to have wavetable oscillators ;)

Where is Maximum POLYPHONY CONTROL??? There is no one word about it in manual.

Smart randomizer for harmonics: Go to the Harmonics mode and click Generator. This tool has been specifically designed to generate harmonic series, it's really cool actually :D. And this is what the smart randomizer uses. To see the point, try this: randomly click into the harmonics and just draw something a few times. At the end you'll see that what you create this "stupid" way is usually rather similar. The smart randomizer tries to exploit a few psychoacoustic facts to get "different" spectra.

Wavetables: Sorry but no. Wavetables are ancient. The harmonic generator is like a infinite-dimensional wavetable. Sure it takes more CPU, but it can just do soooo much more... And in fact there's nothing you can do with wavetables, which you cannot do with harmonics.

Max voices: Coming in the forthcoming update ;).

It's a great that you can import custom samples for each Osc, via the Advanced button. To improve this function I request that:
1) the name of the selected sample file be displayed in the custom sample panel
2) a scroll feature be added to allow quicker audition of additional samples in the selected folder

Ah, that makes sense. Why don't you put this valuable information in the help docs? This applies to much information that you gave here in the thread that is not in the docs, like the resonance scale in percent vs. Q factor, levels in percent vs. db, etc. :-)

When clicking "clear and learn" on a multiparam, can we have the name cleared as well?

Post

Custom samples: This is a very specific feature... But do NOT confuse it with a sampler, it is not!!! It's very utility and will stay hidden.

Docs: Well, it's sooooo deeeeep :D. It's almost impossible to include all that information...

Clear & learn: No, sorry that doesn't make much sense to me. And clearing a name is a reeeeealy simple task :D

:shock: :o :-o

Never heard of Codex and Serum? :help:

Did and I have no idea, why to clone them :D. Why on earth are you advertising competition here? :D

Just one moment, think about

MMultiBandWavetabler

:hihi:

Aaaaah now that's better! :D :D
Anyway I'm going to repeat - the harmonic mode (and generator) can do much more than wavetables (and everything that wavetables can do), so this is just the way it is here... And we don't need to distribute the god damn wavetable files :D.

Hello
Since this is the feature request thread : it would be cool to have a vst FX version of the plug with pitch tracking oscilators (some of your other effects have a great pitch tracking modulator) so that we can play the MPSynth from an audio source.
Thanks !

OK, sorry to be dense, but can you elaborate a little? Are you talking about modulating partial levels and phase? It seems that an oscillator can hold a single waveform and there are some modulation possibilities on that single waveform.

In a wavetable synth, there are multiple waveforms and the synth interpolates between adjacent ones (at least some synths do, I believe) as you move through the wave table (the array of waveforms). I'm not seeing how this translates to MPowerSynth. I'm not suggesting this is a shortcoming - I'm just trying to make sure I'm not missing some key aspect of the oscillators.
