Never heard such delicate and pure sounds coming out of an FM/PM vst synth! CPU consumption is basically nothing. It may not be the most versatile synth in the world, but its quality is impressive

The same for Piper here...

it seems a twist on additive synthesis. what it does it does really nice, no doubt. Helix' unison with right waveforms has a kind of similar quality, but indeed padpal3 is a unique gem

yes, it's great, although there's one thing bothering me: on the higher notes one can clearly hear the loops of the generated wavetable/sample ... if that would be ironed out, then this would be quite something ...i love the zynaddsubfx padsynth, but it's too buggy, so the rock hardburn version would be quite something ...

Thank you, thank you. *Bows*

Yes, it's a kind of additive synthesis, only each partial is given a bandwidth, rather than just a single frequency. This creates massive cancellation effects, similar to those of a reverb. Paul Nasca who wrote zynaddsubfx invented it.

hi rock, please read my above post ... can you maybe do something about it? just asking, cos otherwise i like it a lot!

Yeah. It's fairly simple to fix by multi-sampling so to speak (shifting the FFT array).

Padpal is intended to be an absolute minimal implementation, and I kind of like to keep it that way. (I use it mostly for simple ghost chords and other background stuff.)

But I am planning a more elaborate version, or was planning, for DC09. I probably wont make it though, so it will have to be a regular freebee. It will have multi-sampling.

great to hear, looking forward to the "more elaborate version" ...

thanks for answering!

Rock Hardbuns thank you for such a great synth. Perfect!

Great sound

This is in my a must to use (and keep) list

Thanks Rock Hardbuns

Could you please look into stereo generation too? for now it is a bit unpredictable, one can get heavy tilts to a side or even almost completely out of phase signal with fairly moderate settings.

Padpal 3 - wow!
