hello and thanks for the nice words - and yes the filter will have a lot more types in the final version. most of the types from aggressor will be there as well.Juanjo wrote:Got around to try the Straightliner... I'm pretty covered on the synth front but I must say you have a nice one here, congrats! The osc section seems quite powerful and the raw sound is nice, plus the open design of the filter section is scary, in a good way...
iirc your old Agressor had a fair selection of filters so I assume this one will have a good amount as well. And of course the modulators are out of this world and it's a pity that they can only affect the overall volume and the freq of the only filter onboard, they feel kinda underused...
the architechture is kind of finished, that's true. i could imagine a pitch modulator and i will most probably add a multi-FX section, but routable modulation generators are something i want to avoid. the idea behind this synth is to have a very straightforward ('straight-lined') architechture without too much modulation mumbo-jumbo such that a preset can be instantly understood by viewing at the GUI. routable modulators would immediately destroy this.- A second filter section, plus the ability for the filters to affect oscillators one by one (i.e. so filter1 could affect say oscs 1 and 2 and filter 2 say oscs 3 and 4)
- At least 1 (ideally 2) extra multipurpose modulators with a selection of typical destinations (individual osc volumes, filter freqs and Qs, the speeds of the other modulators, etc), and the ability to affect more than one destination
Preemptive apologies for these structural suggestions... I understand that they are probably very cpu intensive and you might already have the architecture closed, but I feel that they would give the synth a greater chance in the commercial arena if it's meant to be sold...
Btw, 0.65 is apparently rock solid here in energyXT running on WinXP SP2.
yes. preset compatibility between different plugins (where it makes sense) is part of the plan. the multimodulator was not yet designed with this idea in mind, so it's more or less accident that it already works partly. but upcoming versions will deliberately support thisOh, and just for kicks I tried Straightliner's "breakpoint modulator presets" in your MultiModulator plugin... they load! Well, almost...
. O.K. - the main reason for posting is that i have uploaded a new version (v 0.7) yesterday. changes are:
. but guess what? you've done me a big favour by notifying me about the review in the computer music mag - i won't forget this, so check your e-mail, i sent you a little present.
) and rename it. if you open the xml file with a text editor, you will find several child elements with attributes representing the colors. colors must be entered as strings in hexadecimal format where the first pair of hex values is the alpha channel, then red, green and blue follow. that's probably not yet digestible for the average user, i know. maybe one day a color scheme editor will come (one for all rs-met plugs, as standalone app)...but at the moment other things are more important.
