Nice George! Continued development is always appreciated. This Distortion module opens up a whole new world of nice modern basses and fx sounds. One can get formant characteristics into a bass patch with the S&H algo for instance. Foldback distortion is always fun to play around with as well.

The new knobs give the interface a bit more character, btw. I esp like the way it looks using the Dark interface.

Look forward to further dev in the Mod Matrix (at the very least, one more page of mod slots). Intend to mess around with this more over the wknd to see what I can trick out of it.

Cheers,
Jason

Hey I kind of preferred the old knobs

but its all good, since there is a change to the gui i'll reiterate my request for more color variations

anyhow I love the distorion, good addition! I'd love to see some additions to the arp next (which for me is a big part of my Corona love)

The more I play with the distortion the more I like it

I was rooting for a reverb (like Diva's plate would have been great) but maybe this is better. I'm not usually that into distortion either but this adds a lot of color and character to the sound. And the knobs are growing on me

Is there any chance the effects parameters will make it into the Modulation Destinations?

Agreed, great synth, just getting better and better.

BUG: The mix knob in the "scream" distortion module doesn't work, i.e., if mix=0 and amount>0, you get distortion. Anyone else noticed this?

Live 8.3.2.

Mix only controls dry signal amount with scream distortion type.

Hm... it just doesn't seem to do anything. Shouldn't the signal be completely dry when mix is set to 0?
