Diva 1.3 Release Candidate r2058

[Urs]

Ok, I get what you ask. A module-copy-paste-save-lock-and-drag GUI widget has been thought about, but hasn't been developed yet.

My first synth, Zoyd, had +/- buttons next to drop downs, which back then was sniffed at. Looks like they're back in fashion - I'll see what can be done about this next year.

I think parameter locking is a planned future.

You can lock parameters in all recent betas...?

I'm very happy using mousewheel on your dropdowns, Urs. The direction is reverse to what I'd expect, though (when I pull the mousewheel down I expect the dropdown to go down in the list, not up).

Well, if you look at a drop down list that's enumerated, the top most entry would be 1..., the one below wold be 2... and so on. Unfortunately, in any form of ordered list the lowest value is commonly on top, with the highest value sitting at the bottom. It's a bit of a paradox, really. Like scrolling on a tablet vs. scrolling down a document.

That's not to say that we're ignorant towards the problem, it's just that we haven't had the headspace to deal with this yet.

Demoed new beta. This is the first time when I really have to admit that DIVA sounds better than Zebra - I mean new Digital Osc.
Other modules and filter of course sound great too, but I can easily replicate more or less similar sound in Zebra, especially as I have ZebraHZ (but even usual filters can sound similar too if cooked right). But the raw sound of Digital osc is very unlike the Zebra eleven oscs. May be I'll managed to replicate it using EQs, filtering (100% keytracked highpass, as I understand) etc., but I still very impressed by the raw sound of Digital Osc.

My draft attempts of tuning the similar sound in Zebra resulted in more muddy sound. Or not muddy but smaller and more closed then (after EQing).

Right, I understand. Also I'm kinda sad that mousewheel doesn't wrap around the dropdown. Something like:

Code: Select all

on mouseWheelIncrement()
{
    if (currentMenuValue == lastMenuValue)
        MenuValue = firstMenuValue;
    else
        MenuValue--;
}

on mouseWheelDecrement()
{
    if (currentMenuValue == firstMenuValue)
        MenuValue = lastMenuValue;
    else
        MenuValue++;
}

Lame pseudocode (but it accounts for the fact that lowest value is on top and highest is on bottom, and inverts the mousewheel behaviour).

DIVA patches still not remembering quality and multicore setting.

Agreed... The new Diva module nails the supersaw sound... Zebra Eleven is not so smooth and even

They are not supposed to...

[Kaboom75]

Not even the ones I make and save?

Those are global settings (per instance)... not per preset

Although after some tweaking I've managed to create a patch which is closer to Diva:

May be it is worth to add some aliasing (by using SR Decimate filter)?

Thanks

I've done a video to show some potential of the new osc and filter, enjoy

[Blue-eyed Blonde Ape]

all new modules, everything with it, drums too, though I've had new modules for quite some time.
I've showed it before, but didn't tell what I've used.
watch out at the end there's some deafening noise
sorry for off topic.

Sounds great! How did you go about making the choir sound?
