Kilohearts here. There is a problem with the installer that shipped with the CM issue. It gives you licenses on Win but fails on Mac I think. Email support@kilohearts.com and we'll sort you out.

[Per Salbark]

Anyone know if its possible to modulate just the 'cents' of an oscillator pitch? Seems to modulate the semi and even with the smallest amount its way too much for just slight drift?

The amount of modulation applied rounds to whole numbers when displayed, but they are actually saved as more precise values. Try right clicking the thing you are modulating and click the modulation amount, then type "0.5". It will still show as 1% but listen to the results. We are changing this to be more understandable in the next big feature update.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hey thanks for responding- the next big feature update sounds interesting, any hints Can I suggest naming and/or group on 'modulators', it gets very confusing when you have dozens of them remembering what they are for...hopefully an easy one, but it would, make a big difference

Reverser, Pitcher and Trance Gate for £3.50!

Just a heads up that the free Kilohearts plugs are still available on Computer Music Autumn 2018 for a few quid....the Windows installer worked fine and I got 3 great snap ins for almost free .

I believe you can also get Slice EQ for free (£3.50) on another issue but I already have it...

Too good to miss if you don't have these snaps....lowers the cost of getting the bundles as well...soon I will be in all

Installer worked for me too (Windows 10)

--Feature Requests--

Any other ideas, we know they are working on a new update and this thread seem pretty quiet

Phase Plant

Separate modulation destinations for 'semi' and 'cents'
Modulator naming/grouping (same as generators) - essential for me, gets messy quickly as it is!
Slower rise times on modulators (or perhaps a function generator?)
Modulation overview page/view?

Dedicated sequencing/arp (not just the LFO tools) - I would, also like the sequencer to have a gate option/play notes without a key press needed...Rhythm/gate generators that do Euclidean etc (more Eurorack like sequencing)

Quantiser (great after LFO's etc for making things musical)

SnapIns

Amp/Valve sim
More reverb types? (convolution, spring etc)
Leslie? (you can probably make this but its an fx I use quite often on synths)

It would be nice if 'Tape Stop' did more than stop start (when 'running' use it as a tape effect lofi, wow, flutter, saturation etc) - just rename it 'Tape' and maybe throw in tape delay

[SLiC]

PS- I recommend the Neptunion sound pack which is now just $5 https://gumroad.com/sasounds#tLodUv
Includes samples/wavetables and skins...I learned a lot from it!

[Fleer]

Great feature requests, @SLiC!

- wider LFO range, it annoys me slightly that it only goes down to 10hz.
- renaming of mod sources
- more audio rate destinations, like in Dune 3, maybe in combination with a "high CPU" setting
- more filters obviously

For many things there are work arounds with Phase Plant. For example you can create a quantized mod source, if you create a stepped wavetable in the editor in the scale you want, turn the Harmonic to 0 and modulate the Phase. But I definitely wish every synth would have an easy to use quantize function like Hive 2 or Pigments.

[Fleer]

Absolutely. Easy to use quantize is key.

[dstep404]

Quantize is practically essential

I’d also like to see a function generator

Grouping of modulators

Distinct controls for semi and cent, also essential

More improved filters, in the generator section preferably

All, save for maybe the function generator, are far more important to me than something like granular, which I can do in more than a handful of other synths already

[Fleer]

Still, while they're at it, adding granular would be sweet. Serum already been put aside, no more need to use Pigments either then

[gondii]

So once again Phase Plant has a "workaround" - for a granular synth engine.



But it's being added anyway.
