It is four weeks ago now that i released the HV-Formant synth. The basis for this synth was the Elektor Formant DIY synthesizer form 1977/78. Elektor is a electronic magazine. I wrote a small artikel on the subject and they published it in the May issue. In the artikel I mention the idea of rebuilding the original Formant with Syntmaker. I now have started this project and have a basic version available for download.

The idea behind the project is to develop an ultimate modular synth that anyone can use to practice his synthmaker skills by developing new modules or improving existing ones.

The original documentation, artwork and the first OSM can be downloaded from www.ftec-audio.com

Very impressive. I haven't really found out what it can do yet but it's beautiful inside and out. A very organized and easy to understand layout with an excellent modulation matrix implementation.

On the downside it seems there is a nasty denormal problem. My CPU jumps to about 50% right after I stop playing and eventually pegs up at 100% and all but freezes my machine.

I notice my keyboard has made an appearance but you don't seem to have the glissando fix installed. GUI Keyboard

    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.
