Yeah, I've gotten used to the envelopes and such and have made some usable sounds so far, including a few decent kicks. As for the attack, make sure the KXMod is at zero, it's not by default. That helps, but you've probably already weeded that out.

Oh, I'm weeding out happily here. Done a really neat basic drum kit already. Can't say it wasn't all a tiny bit shaky still, but hey... BUT 1 THING is for sure: Those knobs mess with your mind! After a while of editing it's completely weird to deal with "proper" dials again. Feels like skating on ice or so...just not with skates.

Ah, to make velocity work, by the way, I noticed that you have to connect the vel on the matrix and then the MOD in the VCA section starts working. Before than it acts funky...

Ha, yeah! I can't decide if I am supposed to drag up and down, left or right or in a circle. All ways seem to almost work.

The synth has a nice sound. My versions are light blue for the vst3, and a darker blue very reminiscent of 2Dat's original OBX-D, so no orange here. The 64bit vst3 version seems to have everything working okay, the 32bit vst version is a different story. Time to put Reaper's vst3 handling to the test...the wave of the future!

They route to the VCA Mod 1 and VCA Mod 2. You'll find the Mod knobs in the VCA section. This is also how you make velocity work, as Taron mentioned before.

I find the sound of this little thing pretty amazing and inspiring despite the unusual workflow.

The LFO is a mystery to me too. I don't understand why I can't get it go fast..

Did anyone figre out how to make the envelopes not operate at maximum depth?

Carl_saved · Post by **Carl_saved** » Sun Feb 03, 2019 11:16 am

Ah, found it! You have to klick on the name of the modulation source in the matrix, and then the depth knobs show up

Carl_saved · Post by **Carl_saved** » Sun Feb 03, 2019 11:31 am

But I still cannot bring the filter envelope depth to work properly. Probably have to leave the filter EG flat and use one of the general purpose EGs for that

This synth siiiings. Just gotta figure out how to lfo it!

Ok so here's another question

Has anyone got the velocity dependent envelope times got working? For me, velocity doesn't seem to have any effect on envelope times even with the little knob cranked up to max.

Yes, it does! But it's all still a bit mysterious. One should think it's bidirectional, but it seems to be so sensitive and the value ranges so unexpected that it's tough to control. I can, however, confirm that it works, especially with attack!

It seems that LFO depth is hard wired to the ModWheel. If you want to use the LFO then you need to crank up modwheel

Hmm... unless I have missed some option to activate the feature, there is no effect on it, at all. At least I get a stable envelope

Would have used it for my hihats, but I can live without

Taron · Post by **Taron** » Sun Feb 03, 2019 4:28 pm

Hahaha, that's exactly what I was referring to, too! I used velocity on attack, giving me almost like a hybrid between hihat and shaker.

@carl_saved …

If you click on the word "Depth" you get a menu! Same for any other text in BOLD for other parameters. Not many, but there are some!
