Multi Oscillator

Hi, I am working on creating a synthesizer in Reaktor 5 and I want to implement "multi oscillators", something similar to what Steinberg's Retrologue 2 has.

What it basically does is take the original oscillator and multiplies it and detunes it by the specified value. I have found a way to do this already, but where i've gotten stuck is when i'm combining the voices back together. I want a single knob/fader controlling how many of the oscillators gets combined. So when its value is 1, only the first oscillator plays, but as I increase the number the other ones gradually gets added into the signal, but only one at a time. So when the knob/fader is at 2, only two oscillators play, when its at 5 only 5 can be heard etc...
I am sorry if that was poorly explained, english is not my first language!

Thanks!

 

Take a selector/scanner module. Set up a chain of adders so that each new oscillator is added to all the ones before it. Put the outputs of these adders in order into the selector/scanner. Divide the final sum by the number of oscillators you are using.

 

Thanks, that worked great!

 

Actually, I realised now that when adding them, I cannot pan them individually any more, since the signals get mixed! Any other suggestions?

 

Just do the same setup once for each channel. Instead of adding each oscillator's output in mono just send the osc to a panner module, then add up all the lefts and add up all the rights.

 

Thanks for the help mosaic_ , got it all working now!
