I'm trying to morph between a b c d and I see the morph window for a split second and then it's gone.... Windows 8, 64bit and Live 9 32bit. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I cut and pasted A to all slots and it still doesn't seem to work at all.

While working on presets I've had a wish to fasten the workflow.
It would be helpful, if I open a multiparameter/modulator, that I could drag and drop parameters into the multiparameter/ modulator window. So let's say I have Osc1 open and click on the multiparameter 1, it's window opens. Then I drag for example "Unison Voices" and drop it in the multiparameter's parameter window instead of choosing it from the popup...

Greetings

New request: - add triplet metrics to arpeggiator

Oberheim 8000 · Post by **Oberheim 8000** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 2:36 pm

1. Better GUI, maybe i can help you.
2. There is one color schemes for all GUI. But it would be better some section in different colors.
3. And Graphic for filters (show how filter looks like, it is sometimes more representable as LP 16 X xx.) and for spectral oscilator (show osc wave).
4. It would be nice to see how osc. wave change, when is modified by FM, like custom shape or similar.
5. I dont found where to turn off phase oscilators. Sounds like they are not free in phase, if i use more then one osc.
6. Better unison, show voices, how mane the are. And make 16 osc voices for one osc.
7. Unison for all oscs not only for one and maybe unison for all osc section = 8 x (16 x osc1 + 16 x osc2 + 16 x osc3).

Just tried this and really do like the sound and vast possibilities, and just started to work on my presets but...
at least for my workflow (ableton/session view) program changes are almost mandatory. Really hope this could be solved somehow (maybe one special midi folder like u-he synths?)

I repeatedly ran into the bug that when you edit an LFO target, I click on the default "Global Gain" and click remove and it sets the global gain to some erratic value of -33.5db or +24.1db or whatever. I took care NOT to click on the tick left to it but on the name itself but it still happens from time to time. Unfortunately it is not reproducible because it does not happen each time.

And another feature request

In oscillator -> shape -> advanced -> harmonics, could you also make the level of harmonic 1 editable? Then we can create sounds where harmonic are louder than the fundamental which is a nice effect. It is already possible in the sine based big harmonics editor below but not in the small one in the advanced tab which also allows other waveforms than sine.

Whats also missing is an easy way to asign an envelope to pitch. You can do it via an LFO with midi reset, but they don't really work well when you play fast.

Also, the Dynamics effect apparently does not use the sidechain I configured but just the normal input. A bug maybe?

MeldaProduction · Post by **MeldaProduction** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:39 am

Uuu, I overslept a little

, so:

Legato envelope modulator - added to to-do list

.

Trigger phase control - what do you mean exactly?

KeyFol - what is that exactly? If you mean notes, then it's the second tab in the MIDI settings

.

ABCD morphing - potential bug, will check.

Drag & drop to multiparameter - sorry no. But the learning workflow seems actually faster - you just select learn and move the parameters, it even records the range of the movement. I know it's not standard, but that's how it is here and seems much easier to use than the common drag & drop.

FM shape - FM does NOT result in a fixed waveshape! So there's nothing to show...

Unison - sorry, no, unison will be only for the first oscillator. There's probably room for one more parameter, so if you have one

... But initial phase doesn't seem like a very good idea, I'll check though.

Program changes - well, as I explained, there's no fixed "bank of 128 presets", so you have to deal with the 8 in A-H. Sounds more than enough for usual live performance. One other solution would be to create a folder in Presets, where you would store up to 128 presets and there you could switch between them using the Program changes. Sounds logical?

1st harmonic level - I'll check.

Dynamics sidechain - I'll check, but note that you need to enable "secondar sidechain input" in the Sidechain panel in the processor.

Ah I didn't see that secondary sidechain input, I will look for that.

Did you also add triplet metrics for arpeggiator to the to do list?

With trigger phase I mean that you can control what initial phase an OSC or LFO is when the note is triggered. Currently I think it is fixed phase, it would be nice to also have the choice of random initial phase (or free running phase, which is basically the same) phase per OSC and LFO. For a lot of stacked sounds or for several modulation effect random phase results in a more natural sound.

What do you mean by triplet metrics? Aaaaah, you mean sync as triplets, hmmm, I'll think about it.

You can move the initial phase directly in the oscillator. But why on earth would you want it different every time - if there's high attack, you'd probably don't hear a change. And if the attack would be small, you'd hear a different attack every time, sometimes it would even pop...

Yes, please!

If its not already there somewhere, any chance of including a 'whoops' feature.......undo / redo buttons to return to say a previous slider setting, etc.

I'm afraid that's impossible, the plugins are waaaaay too complex for that. There's more than 2000 parameters automatable and many times more not automatable...
Edit: Of course, a few steps undo for automated parameters only could be possible...

Hi,
Would it be possible to include scale option for 1 or more notes, eg with a A note a choice of minor blues scale option going on on one selected interval note and maybe an other scale option (neapolitan) on an other selected note interval, then when changing the note from a to G it keeps the selected scale etc etc or with intelligent option minor - minor - major scale like it used to be with an old digitech IPS 33..

CableChannel · Post by **CableChannel** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:02 pm

Yes for sharp attacks you would preferably still use fixed phase. But if you have say a OSC1=saw and OSC2=saw, and they start with random phase, you get a little variation in the sound for each note, right? At least I think so? Or does it make no difference to the sound?

Where it does for sure make a difference is if you setup two osc and modulate pitch of these individually with two separate LFOs. If LFO1 and LFO2 have the same phase you get a static vibrato, if you can use free (and independent) phase the vibrato is more natural.

You could also detune the LFOs to get something similar, but it's still not at all the same.
