Anacreon Synthesizer | Anacreon 2.5 Released 2020-07-30T04:32:46+00:00 https://static.kvraudio.com/i/b/anacreonscreen.1600707567.png Anacreon is a personal patch-cable-driven obsession turned commercial VST. It doesn't do anything never-before-seen, but it does have bandlimited, hard-syncable, supersaw-capable oscillators and a great sounding filter section. It also comes with the head (and beard) of an ancient Greek poet, who will stare stoically at your work whenever the plugin window is open. This synthesizer was programmed using the C++ and VST3 SDK - no use of Juce, Synthedit, Flowstone, etc. KVR Product Page Edit (7/30/2020): Demo has been added to product page. I have become more open to less yellow / a version with an alternate GUI. I have also become more open to more yellow. Edit (8/01/2020): The current silly made up music genre is Bluegae (bluegrass reggae), demo track in the works. Edit(8/11/2020): The buttons for saving and loading presets aren't exactly in the perfect place right now, but I plan to have an updated GUI that will make that point moot. Changelog 2.5.1 Fixed l1 output on filters. 2.5.2 Aug 11 2020 Added GUI buttons for preset save/load. Host does not need to implement preset management for above feature to function. Fixed general problem with preset normalization between controller and processor. 2.5.2.1 Aug 13 2020 Hopefully fixed reaper / cubase / generally everything crash. 2.5.2.2 Aug 14 2020 Fixed sneaky envelope bug - no more clicking at gain settings less than 100% 2.5.2.3 Aug 19 2020 Fixed crash associated with polyphony control Fixed stack corruption due to buffer overrun on string operation for pitch parameters Fixed visually bugged pitch control knob that was broken in 2.5.2.2 2.5.3 Sept 21 2020 Pitch Bend Mod Wheel, Velocity, Ptichbend, Aftertouch/Poly Pressure, and Keytrack modules added Aftertouch / Poly Pressure may or may not work on your machine. Working on it. Support added for holding SHIFT for fine tuning on all parameters. Mousewheel support on knobs. (Shift works for mousewheel fine tuning, too!) LFO so it can be used as audio rate oscillator (non-antialiased) and can also go to 64 bars. True 1v/octave response for all frequency inputs (lfo, osc, filter) and keytrack source. True 1v/6dB response for all gain inputs. Improved polyphony performance via engine overhaul 2.5.3.1 Sept 21 2020 Added version number in about page ( (?) button page ) Fixed Initial Sample Rate Bug / Out of tune bug Fixed legato glide sustain pedal bug Fixed hanging voices after reducing voice count while holding note Does this version still crash in FL Studio? No. Name clash with previous version. Will address in next release. Does this version still have random clicking with polyphonic patches w/ certain connections? 2.5.3.2 Sept 24 2020 Channel Pressure / Mono Aftertouch support fixed, pending testing via midi controller. Poly Pressure still doesn't work to the best of my knowledge (hard to test) Still has name clashing issues in FL Studio, didn't get to fixing this today. 2.5.3.3 Jan 19 2021 Channel Pressure / Mono Aftertouch support fixed, pending testing via midi controller. Poly Pressure still doesn't work to the best of my knowledge (hard to test) Still has name clashing issues in FL Studio, didn't get to fixing this today. Fixed non-working routing parameters in StudioOne (and other delinquents) 2.5.3.9 In Development SKIPPING THIS BUILD. NEXT RELEASE WILL BE 2.5.4. (GUI and Linux are intertwined and inseparable) Features in 2.5.4 (next major release): (✅ is next to things that I've got working so far on the unreleased dev version) Completely customizable layout and colors for GUI via config file. User/Hacker can specify how many of each module they want. Basically a build-your-own Anacreon. <- this one is a huge undertaking, but worth it. Save Location for Presets defaults to last used location - persists between sessions. A "curve" module Oscillator pan modulation Detune and Spread modulation - maybe. I will need to look into the inner workings of that algorithm and see if it can be made to run efficiently at audio rate. I'm pretty sure division is involved in calculating the detune / spread, which is a big no-no for realtime audio. LFO shape should be feasible to modulate since the LFOs aren't antialiased, it makes things a little more forgiving to program. Envelopes that can trigger "one shot" style, looping ability, and the ability to be triggered by event port and send triggers via event port so they can be used for timing. Pan / Gain modulation on main output for intuitive patching options. (you can already do gain in the mults, but I think the goal is to make the mults the last resort for complex ideas, not for basic gain staging) Mid/Side output on oscillators for spatial processing (there will be a way to switch between L/R and M/S mode) Sine oscillator (this oscillator will be more than just a sine wave, will be a resonating oscillator of some sort, potentially with overtones that can be controlled. NOT an additive oscillator in the traditional sense, but something more "alive" without enforced phase coherence.) Because Anacreon uses Linux for his main computer, he will be smiling from this version onward. Erich.Pfister https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=471115

Hey, you're not writing a lisp interpreter are you?
