Trig Discipline posted:Time is awful and must be stopped. It can be a companion to my recent album THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED. I traded in my Minilogue XD to Patchwerks - not because it's not a great synth, but because I've barely even turned it on in six months and I'd rather put more of my effort into my modular ecosystem. In return for that (and one or two modules I don't use anymore), I got a stereo filter (After Later Popple), a matrix mixer (the AI Synthesis kit), and a used FX Aid. I've been skeptical of the hype the FX Aid gets, but it's absolutely proven itself in the short time I've had it and it sounds amazing. Popple isn't as interesting as some stereo filters I was looking at (namely the Bastl Ikarie), but it's nice and smooth and makes the Acid Rain Chainsaw sound f a t. And I'm excited to figure out neat patching acrobatics with the matrix mixer.

I need some advice. I'm building electronic Uilleann bagpipes. I'm currently reconsidering whether I want to just go with MIDI output and have something else generate tones, instead of what I'm currently doing with rolling my own (currently not working right) 4-operator FM Synthesis. I only know MIDI from the implementation side: with the event types and control values. I have no idea what's been done with it in actual synthesizers. I'm hoping someone in here can help me out with deciding whether what I want is achievable. In addition to stuff that's probably standard in 2022 like 6-voice polyphony, I need the following abilities:
Does a synth module exist which can do all this with MIDI input? I know MIDI 2 is near standardized now and I think will solve a lot of this, but I don't know that anything is using it yet.

I think what you describe lines up with the functionality of MIDI Polyphonic Expression, which has been adopted into the 1.0 standard. One channel delivers master control messages, and the other channels are used for individual notes, including note-specific pitch bend and note-specific CC messages.

Okay, I'll grouse around for synths that support this and read up on the standard to see if it covers what I need. It does seem close. Thanks! I know in like 1991 Yamaha sold a thing called a WX11 that had a WT11 tone generator, which may or may not have been a DX-7 engine (4-operator FM synthesizer) with some added special gubbins for increased wind controller expressiveness. I'm not sure if it was as expressive as I need, though. Was sort of hoping someone clever had come up with something since this was released in the 20 years since then, but maybe MPE is as close as I'm going to get.

Or maybe Irish is Gaelic, I'm not sure. cruft fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jun 10, 2022 |

Pitch bend is a 14 bit parameter, you've got access to way more than 128 values even in the most ancient implementation. Also look into portamento and portamento control support in modules. I'm guessing this maybe isn't a monophonic instrument, in which case mpe is a must.

 fellow wind synth maker!I think some synths may be able to support what you're looking for via MPE. Try putting together a patch with the Vital VST and see if it fits the bill. This guy talks a little bit about pitch bend implementation here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G4xMJ3tyX_s You may want to eventually implement your own synth to keep the whole thing self-contained and give more precise control, but that's probably easy enough to add once you have the general control stuff figured out more.

Woah I did not know vital was actually open source. Might be overkill to try and cram it all into an embedded implementation but you could definitely gank oscillators, filters etc. from it.

Additionally, If you’re looking to spend some money on a physical MPE synth then I can’t recommend the Hydrasynth series more highly. They are loving fantastic.

cruft posted:I need some advice. there are a fair amount of soft synths that support OSC or the other extended control format that never took off and I can't remember the name of. a laptop might not be the ideal thing for cool factor or reliability, but it's there and it works and it's a thing you wouldn't have to make yourself while you're trying to make the other thing you're making. if you have the stomach for it, you could probably patch all that together yourself in a weekend -> a month with reaktor or cycling or something

Latest patch in vcv rack. Trying out using noise through a LPG as a modulation source, and then I got carried away with drum modules and sequencers. Was actually happy with some of the sounds, so I remembered to hit record. https://soundcloud.com/beer-chiller/evening-patch

Was actually happy with some of the sounds, so I remembered to hit record. Enjoyed this. Modulation source like FM or like slewed/filtered noise -> random cv? I'm also very curious about the sequencer side, you landed in some cool spots (4:00 in or so is a nice vibe w/ the breaky percussion and faint chord drone in the background) and wanna know how you did it!

Hey thanks! The drone in the background was made by running a mix of most of the signals from a Ts-L oscillator into the strum input on Rings, and hitting some of the different CV inputs with separate gated and filtered noise bursts. Some of the CV inputs ( damping I think, and maybe the brightness control?) were fed chaotic lfo signals. The percussion sequencing came from some Euclidean sequencers running on different clock divisions, and Grids getting different signals to the map coordinates by hitting a S&H of the chaotic LFO at whatever long divisions I happened to plug into on the clock divider.

I was digging in LSDJ after not touching it for years. The wave synth is really good! It generates wavetables by sweeping a resonant filter with distortion. Very crunchy. Also, I found a website that catalogues single cycle waves from commercial game boy releases.

net work error posted:Happened to be in Detroit and checked out Detroit Modular. Very cool shop with a good inventory as well so if you're in the area I'd recommend checking it out. I'm several pages late but yeah, they own. I'm about 10 minutes around the corner from Sweetwater but still order everything from Detroit Modular because they're less of a pain in the rear end to deal with. Also, they're smaller, and I feel like they benefit from my money more.

The Moog Mavis looks great. I somehow have managed to avoid Moog stuff this far but that one is surprisingly tempting. I like the size vs. features -ratio. Here's a case that I'm currently building and patching. It's for playing live psy/goa trance to give hippies something to dance to if someone books me for a gig.  I'm maybe halfway there with the patching and such but it's already showing some promise! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkWHGYms3Gc

the new moog synth looks like it sounds great it’s just very funny to see people make videos about it getting released the instant the embargo lifts that only ever compares it to other moog products. influencer marketing will always just be very funny to me no matter how good the product being advertised is
