Public prototype, pre-orders and preset-contests... where do I sign up?!

Sorry Urs, just an exciting reaction to very promising news
Cheers.

I came across a strange drone/thunder preset today, called it Dark Drone Orchestra. So I mixed that up with my latest Broken Mellotron setting and a loop that I recorded while mangling Zebra's delay:

100% Zebra + 1 ADLimiter (necessary...)

Oh my goodness! It's Friday again! I was soooo sure that it's Thursday when I woke up. Nevermind. I'll have an exciting teaser for you later on!
Cheers,
Urs

Ok.
You wanna know what a synth would look like if I builded one from just a single Zebra2 Oscillator, without additional filters or anything? Maybe just an ADSR envelope and a MultiStage envelope added? And maybe a Chorus and a Delay?
It would look like this:
As I said before, a Zebra2 Oscillator is already a valid little synth! A synth like that will accompany Zebra2 as an add-on for learning and easy preset creation.

Urs

Geomorph == wow. Are the segments between points just lines or are they splines? Do you modify the waveshape just by adding more points, or ...? And speaking of shapes, is wavewarp here the modulation through the geomorph table or something more?
Ok, I actually don't expect you to answer these questions but you can't blame me for trying Man, I want this synthesizer. This, plus surge & fsva, will cover my synthesis needs for, like, ever

They are cubic bezier splines, but their control is simplified. You can easily set points to sound "linear", "rounded" or "peaked".suthnear wrote:Geomorph == wow.

Wavewarp is the modulation through the Waveset (16 "waves", whatever a wave is...).
GeoMorph means, there are 16 wavetables built from an identical number of points (up to 32). The position and the spline character move when you fade between them. Thus the transitions are smooth, hence I call that "morph".
There are 3 more modi currently, involving morphable additive spectrum (sic!) and the equivalents that aren't made from splines but from 128 points. Latter don't morph, they just fade. At least two more modes are planned for the future, but they will need more cpu - one of these oscs currently takes an average of less than 1% cpu on a single processor G5, but don't forget that oscs hardly ever come alone and certain settings can slow it down.
There's a ton of hidden functionality, such as contextual menus, modifier keys while editing, functions on multiple point selections etc.
However, the clou ain't the wavetable stuff. The clou are the oscillator effects (top center, 17 different types at the moment). Everything else might have been done in other synths before, maybe not as comprehensive or not as intuitive or more complicated...

Urs
