In the Instruments section, I've added my TRAMS oscillator. This is a new algorithm for generating band-limited waveforms. It has five parameters that can be independently controlled to create a wide range of timbres, plus a sixth to control the amplitude of an additional impulse train -- useful for when you want energy all the way out to the Nyquist frequency. Let me know what you like and don't like.

Great!

The only thing i can do now is 2 give you a hint:

search 4 "synched and display" and you find a synched wave display which better shows up your signal!

Hi Mack, nice add, I tried it, iIt's doing additive synthesis, am I right? Just the sixth control is a bit a mystery to me, also, it seems producing too high frequencies compared to the other five, I know it's not highpassed but it sounds like a very narrowed square under highpass, don't know if I'm doing something wrong or couldn't be able to set them all properly mixed together.. or maybe samplerate has a role in the game (I'm still at 44100)...?

Thanks for the tip about the synched display, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I agree that the pure BLIT doesn't really sit well with the rest of the sound, so I put a simple low pass filter on it. It sounds better now. Just don't expect it to sound right with just any setting. Also note that sometimes just a little is all that's really needed. I uploaded the new version, but you might not be able to download it. I can't download it even though the edit page says it's there.

The algorithm isn't additive. It's multiplicative.

Hi Mack,

It's in my analysis toolkit here

The mono wave draw sync will try to lock the wave to optionally a zero-crossing or the FFT phase (for complex waveforms)

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong in the wiki, and now the version with a better BLIT component is available.

Hmmmm... Loading your trams osm causes SynthMaker 1.08a to crash...

New SynthMaker Bug?

New SynthMaker Bug?

Yeah no doubt, although SM is fairly stable these days i often manage to crash it alot, older osms usually causing the most of them, i suggest you make a post in the bugs forums where its more likely to get fixed 😀

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
