A new version is out!
1.0.7!
Everybody (and Aliasant in particular) will be happy to know that, as already report by various users, clicking on release has finally disappeared!
Download Link:

There's also a special version with Myco's pitchshifter, a one-off experiment with a different effects section but's a bit heavy on CPU, as you'll guess...
Now a big vacation for me - in December I'm going to ski.. next year Alieno will revamp as a mini-modular system, from 1.1 onward.
cheers,
A.

Great. Alieno is always fun to play with. A little suggestion: 2 little prev, next buttons for the preset browser would come handy... and pitch wheel support.

Thanx, Rl! - Well, Prev & Next were added in 1.0.6... pitch bend is very comprehensive already - or you mean a visual feedback for pitchbend?

Ah ok yes I found it.. BUONA IDEA! 😀 😀

I really love your GUI Acrobat. I guess you must've used graphics software to do it and not used SMs graphics tools? I was wondering, when you designed the GUI did you do it all as one image file or several different ones layed on top of each other? And how do you go about getting the right sized images?
Another thing I'd like to know (if it's not too cheeky) is have you had many donations? I'm sort of wondering whether to do that with my synths or just charge a low price for them.
Cheers,

Judging from this & KVR's forum, & VST websites, don't expect to even cover website costs with donations. & if you sell, expect it to be hack & on warz sites in a week or so.
Best bet IMHO is have a magazine pick up your VST.
I also have another idea for a business model... but that's a secret 🙂

Fotociop (like spanish calls it)
I was wondering, when you designed the GUI did you do it all as one image file or several different ones layed on top of each other?
Started with a single PSD with hundreds of layers, later on when I isolated the elements for optimisation & developing reasons, PSD layers went very useful 'cause I could group them in folders that resambles the sound modules, so now on SM there's approx.tly a GUI module for every sound generator, plus a lot of single addons... very complicated and nested but quite cintrollable..sometimes it's difficult to grab them because they are so down in the visual hierarchy..and I haveto move some stuff to select them...that's where a floating window with layers facilities would come in hand!
And how do you go about getting the right sized images?
Using 8x8 grid also in GRX software, sometimes just going 4x4. If the grids matches, that will help a lot mental calculations on sizes.
Another thing I'd like to know (if it's not too cheeky) is have you had many donations? I'm sort of wondering whether to do that with my synths or just charge a low price for them.
Instituted just a week ago and I had two donation, one from USA and one from France.

German magazine "Beat" gave me 5/6 in a review of Alieno:
Oh God, why I didn't think about it before...an optimized range check at the filter inputs eliminates all clicks caused by high resonance values...expect an update very soon..
I think the SVF needs this check by default in the SM module...it is present only in the default moog filter and not in the SVF (!)
😮 😀 😮

New version! Alieno 1.0.9
A major update: this version adds vibrato, advanced randomize function,
extended MIDI control, a new modern ship-style and lots of other new features!
http://www.blank-media.it/acrobatics/#items
Substituting wired modules with coded modules gave -3% CPU usage
(from 23% to 20%, typically).
Even if I added an LFO for vibrato (thanks Exo for the ASM, lighter one!).
Pretty happy for the optimization!
Cheers,
Andrea

Really?!? Are those for green or stream data please? Something like this belongs in the WIKI...

I mean stream,
I had everything done with stream math operators, lots of stupid stuff like multiplying for -1 or 0.5 many times instead of just where really needed. I rationalized a lot of parts and put in code evrything I could, then I used just one call for primitives like samplerate and tempo, used the same math where it was shared by many destination modules, cut out Decay stage from all envelopes (I don't use decay in Alieno, they are ASR), reduced the number of minmax using just one limiter at the right stage... eliminated also lots of conversions between frequency in hertz and normalized frequency.
Yeah also green and yellow stuff was reduced a lot but I don't think it helped much, maybe the redraw rationalization was a benefit. Now I use redraw limiters, before evrything was refreshed too often.
