DESCRIPTION

Subtractive-FM-wavetable synthesizer. Sorry about the name, it was the first thing that came to my mind when I started designing it and can't figure anything else out. Usable more or less only for bass sounds due to very high amount of aliasing present in higher pitch range.

You can:
- Draw your own wavetables and LFO shapes
- Ring-, Phase-, and Frequency modulate the audio oscillators and FM filter by one of the modulation oscillator or their crossfaded signal
- Route LFOs or multistage envelopes (with adjustable attack level) to many parameters

This is the first version and I don't have enough time and efforts to improve it yet but I will try to make some. The unison and LFO sync macros are copies of those from salamanderanagram's tutorials.
My future plans are to make my own (for example, the LFO should be able to be repeat in synced thirds), reworking the oscillators in core and remove as much aliasing as possible, add a sub-synth and add the possibility to offset parameters per voice, create my own filters (I would love to implement the Massive's Scream filter but have no idea how) and some effects. And creating loads of snapshots.

I didn't plan on releasing this until some other versions will be out, but I don't really know when it will be so here it is...any critics will be welcome. It is usable as an instrument already, although only for bass sounds.

Very cool sounds can be achieved by automating the modulation crossfaders via DAW where both of the MOD OSC are set a little different and attaching IL's Vocodex.

Please enjoy and comment.

If I could suggest adding an ADSR control for the filter, it would make this synth perfect. Otherwise, love the level of control in the synth, and the formatting is very easy to navigate.
