Partials & Discreprancies the new Kid of additive synths

New version today. 1.0.4. (it is available on the account page)
The star of the show is the new MPE mode (basically click the unusable logo til it goes red, and the MPE is much more natural and simple than it used to). The pressure control is interacting with the amp envelope to give continuous control polyphonically. Higher velocity generate attack transients so it feels quite expressive, if I am allowed to say so myself. I've tuned it so it feels nice on seaboards, osmoses and the polybrute 12 in MPE mode. The slide/cc74 is just controlling the cutoff in this mode. A cool thing is to combine it with cc4 / foot control for sweeping the slots when the sequencer is turned off (I made a short video showing off that on the YouTube channel).
The second thing in 1.0.4 worth mentioning is patch versioning. If you turn it on in the bottom of the patch browser, clicking save no longer overwrites a patch, but adds an incrementing number to the patch name / file name.
There is a news post on the site with more thorough release notes:

And here is a video showing of the new MPE mode with effects from the full suite v2:
All the Best,
Rasmus

What if you want to overwrite a patch?

Just turn off versioning in the patch browser. And it works again

Thanks. I had to check... Roland EV-5. I've had it forever but never really used it. I am not great at wah wah playing, so neither at this.Old Norse wrote: Sun Jul 05, 2026 11:24 am Just... unbelievably gorgeous sounds!
PS.: Which pedal are you using as a CC controller?
