Ideas for opening up the modulation in Uhbiks

[Sendy]

Yeah, it's sort of a feature request (or more like a whole bunch of them :p), but not really, more just putting some ideas on the table and seeing what people think.

Firstly, I was hoping for a sharper sawtooth in most of the Uhbiks. Perhaps not so sharp it clicks at zero phase, but fast enough that it sounds instant. I also miss square LFO's.

I picture these possibilities as a couple of changes, but existing presets may have to be re-scaled to fit into their proper ranges, or they may just break, which is probably bad (just a gueess!).

The waveform symmetry knob would need to go further and push the triangle into an almost full saw at the extreme, and an extra knob would need to be there for variable 'hard clipping' whatever waveform you have going... this would give you your square at 100% and sine/tri/saw at 0% depending on your choices elsewhere. 50% with triangle selected would give you a variable trapezoid which is a very useful modulation shape, and 99% would give a very usable square waves without clicking.

Since there's an extra knob in this scenario, it would be amazing if that could control the shape/envelope of the smoothing in pattern mode. In the middle it's normal (symmetrical), at fully left, it's making decay envelopes wherever you put the dots, and fully right, it has a slow attack and quick decay.

I.e. Left: \__\__\_\__\__\_
Middle : -__-__-_-__-__-_
Right : /__/__/_/__/__/_


Also, I really wanted to be able to add a smidgen of resonance to the LPF on Uhbik-T. At the moment the filter seems to be strictly aimed at spatial/HF dampening effects, but being able to do resonant filter sweeps with T's modulation engine would really open up the possibilities. Once again, I'm loving that pattern morpher, and the way you can split it with a stereo offset.

I was thinking of a user definable LFO waveform. Pretty much like the MSEG...

If that also entered Runciter then one might not miss resonance in T...?

Works for me

It'd be pretty sweet if you could lift the morphing patterns from T and put it in Runciter, but just having MSEG taffy to play with would be keen.
