DESCRIPTION

i found some more jobs before touching the "mod-bus".


the snaps sounds sometimes different to v07.
new in 0.7d:
-added a rude modding ability to the "stages"-parameter of sandy smalls "phaser". which is screaming for a stepsequencer to modulate it. (to-do-list)
-"glöckner" is now completly polyphonic incl. modulation (ModC is polyphonic lent from the polyphonic autopan). added some scaling knobs
-reworked the pandoras boxes. they are much easier to use now

new in 0.7:
-autopan is now completly polyphonic incl keysync
-added mod amount knobs for autopan
-slightly reworked "Glöckner...", added 2 mod amount knobs
-added fx slot 4+5 (they will be filled some time...)
-added a pandoras box for FX-routing
-lots of small cleanings under the hood
-excluded the pandoras box and lots more from randomisation
-slightly reworked snapshots, due to the new features.
-some new snapshots. check out the snapshots "formula three" and "random drops and riser" to get a idea of the new mod amount knobs on "glöckner"



this was made for quick testing new (Poly)blocks
-just follow the instructions of the load buttons to switch osc, adsr ,shaper ,effects etc.
the 2 effects in view A are inside of the polyphonic structure, so they have to be polyphonic too!
-for standard monoponic after effects have a look into View B
-the 2 mod-busses are monophonic

so the next step for me would be:
replacing the blocks through serious polyphone macros, which can be modulated polyphonic too (envelopes, keysynced lfos, etc)
but this will be a lot of conceptional work and may take a while...
meanwhile you can play with a semi poly-synth.
have fun


pandoras box:
-it would be possible to switch the routing macro into poly-mode.
-with an intelligent prepared table (useful routings inside) and a voice trigger it should be possible to get a different routing per voice, randomly triggered...
but i haven`t worked with tables yet... so much to lern...

anyway this runs at 70% (all expensive FX on) with 6 voices on my laptop.
if you have issues, lower the instrument voices and swap out the expensive effects, like the genius phaser...
deactivating devices only sometimes lower the cpu.
this depends on the block structure.

while working more and more with polyphonic structures and trying to do this with blocks...
we need another standard. Polyphone macros with a sort of standard mod-source-bus AND the possibility to switch the core externally off (gating the SR,CR?).
like the library macros already have mod-inputs for the important parameters. some more mod sources would be nice, but when driving polyphone at maybe 22kHz...

my goal is to create a prototype synth, which is able to quick load and install new macros,
while driving a 4-8 channel modbus.


thanks to all active community members and their great work
special thanks to:
Michael Hettrick ("Final out", WT LFO, the polyphone voice limiter is a modded "final out")
Efflam le Bivic ("AKSTK","PCKP")
Sandy Small ("Cascade filter" and THE "phaser")
Brett Lavallee ("Metaverb"-block)
the chorus and the lezlie are old reaktor stuff, i dont know who did that nice devices
Cal Scott for the story trigger


Update:
something went wrong with the snapshot bank
-updated snapshots

sorry but i didnt realise that the block category doesnt have enough subcategory....it seems many people doesnt know where toput their block synth...

this is no pure block ensemble. i can`t place it in the block-section. the blocks used in here have to be modified. normally all slots should be filled with poly-macros. but this will take a while. i have moved it to the test area

plz put your block ens in the block category...you are "poluting" the synthesizer category with all those blocks,,,, tia
now
