4Osc Synth

tention · 28 Dec 2007

Hello Neptune,

i found some strange things in your synth. First: there are many clicks, probably caused from the signal route of the AMP ADSR. If you haven't already, try to put the AMP ADSR after the filter module or try to set a minimum value for Attack and Release.

Second: The filter resonance should be limited to for example 0.98 to avoid such a heavy res when having res=1 and cutting off.

Third: It would be nice to have more controls for the 4 oscillators, something like detune or spread, phase etc..

Keep up the work...

Hi Tention,

i solved the problem with the clicks. It was caused by a wrong connection to the equalizer. I had a double connection in there. One directly from both Filters and the other link was from the AMP ADSR.

After removing the double connections no more clicks at the beginning nor at the end appear.

Now also the AMP ADSR works as it should but i have to setup all presets again 🙂 since the double connections caused a kind of gain effect automatically.

Since i´m working with the "Osc using SM´s 256 wavetable" (found it in the forum or on the wiki [cant remember]) i did not put it onto the UI since i was too lasy to modify its colors yet. But i´ll rework the UI and will insert all 4 OSCs with their detuners on it. I also want to modify the detuners first to get higher and lower octaves to work with.

Thanks for your help!! (Vielen Dank! Bin erst nach Deinen Hinweisen auf die Fehlerquelle gekommen. Grüsse aus München).

Going to post the reworked osm soon.

Ah, you added the OSC part! Looks cool, but I'm not sure how to use it.

For me, I prefer synths to suggest their audio flow by their layout, so the OSC would be on the far upper-left, hopefully with some kind of flow indicators (Like Thor, but there are other methods). I perfer also a smaller layout, but I also hope for longer sliders for the OSC for finer tuning.

Some more richer, deeper base-y patches would be good also. I'd make some, but I need to make a mix CD in 2 days.
