When navigating to the OSC 76 page, it quickly switches from the normal page into this
https://docs.google.com/comments/d/AAHR ... rue&pref=2
which is just a giant wall of text in Firefox :shrug:
Music can no longer soothe the worried thoughts of monarchs; it can only tell you when it's time to buy margarine or copulate. -xoxos
Discontinue use if rash or irritation develops.

:o That's weird. Can you tell us exactly what steps you took to reproduce the issue?

Not your house, but your ears maybe :hihi:
Having read that post, I would not wear headphones while using that synth, frankly...

Sir, there is something called a limiter :smack:

Nice to have DAW automuting channels on to high levels. "Used" this feature a lot last 2 days ... :D

Sure- went to page 1 of the thread, and clicked on the link here:
1. You download our synth of the month: Mantra Evo by beatassist.eu
It's definitely the OSC 76 page, the same behavior occurs when clicking on the OSC 76 link in https://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/rules

This is very impressive and blows my attempt out of the water. Can you expand exactly what you did for this. Might help quite a lot for future oscs as well. Might be faster if you could post the project file here if you don't mind of only the snare as you made in above stream so I, or anyone, could have a closer look at what you did and try to backwards engineer it. If you want to hold on to the secret until after this months osc, that's okay too :tu:. Cheers

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the signal flow in this synth. It just isn't clicking for me.

Getting a huge DC offset on some patches (in factory bank as well as my own) These so far seem to be only associated with OSC1 (will let you know if it happens with OSC2 later)
Having to use WG Doffset to fix it - this does work when used on each separate instance :)

This could be speaker-blowing serious as I understand it. How is the best way to detect dc offset? Any more info? Any possibility the author could look at this?

Could this be of relevance:

It should be best practice to throw on a high pass filter on pretty much everything, even bass and of course a default setting limiter at the end. A hpf just above 0hz should probably do the trick, or to be safe, maybe stick it at 25hz to stop most dc offset issues I'm thinking.

A dc offset remover is basically a low frequency HPF.

What's the fun in that? :3

I had another question: could I use maximising/mastering plugins like maximus and ozone? I guess it should be acceptable, since all that's going on is volume manipulation, right? Also going to assume that sidechaining is fine, since it's also just volume that's changing.

:zzz:

As of right now, paid plugs are not allowed. Only free or what comes with your DAW.

Maximus comes with my DAW. Also, is that always true? On the list of older OSCs I saw some paid synths...
