Introduction

LightPadSynth is a lightweight version of CubicPadSynth. Pitch modulation is omitted for efficiency, but a modulatable delay is added for each voice.

Full list of differences to CubicPadSynth:

• Removed pitch envelope.
• Removed profile frequency randomization.
• Removed PADsynth spectrum inversion.
• Changed FFT library from FFTW3 to AudioFFT (Ooura) for portability.
• Changed wavetable interpolation from cubic to linear.
• Changed filter to 3-pole IIR.
• Changed LFO to modulate delay time instead of pitch.
• Added a delay for each voice.
• Added wavetable buffer size option up to 2^21 samples.
