Something like this?! https://karmafx.net/gifs/shaper.png I opted for using the existing ADSR style envelope editing UI (almost square like you suggested), with a Curve and Bias option. This means the ramp can have many control points, but also means that the output might alias. However, this is rar...

no problem. I'm glad it worked. And no worries, this setup is not exactly intuitive.

The only remaining wish of mine now is to have 'INV' checkbox also for MidiData module to have a possibility to setup it the same way.

Good point! I've added it to the list.
Thanks!!

Yes, exactly. Try setting the ADSR in this mode: https://karmafx.net/gifs/ADSRCapture.PNG That is, bipolar off, inv on, out all the way down (negative), produces this output: https://karmafx.net/gifs/ADSRCapture2.PNG Hence it is not bipolar, but it does produce the wanted envelope, no? Again, sorry ...

Yes, I think the FM synthesis part is in need of some work. As you probably know, aliasing is a real pain with FM, so simply upping the range is problematic, unless of course you are into the aliasing "sound", as the FM overtones or sidebands then quickly reach the nyquist limit. Now, since the synt...

Ah. I see (maybe).
EDIT: So can the "invert" option not fix this issue?
i.e. that should flip the envelope, so it is centered in "off" state ?
Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

I Agree. FM and the FM range is something that will be reworked in a future release.

Cool! I will get you a beta.

I think the main reason for this decision is more historical, and because it made sense for amp envelopes. However, you can easily invert it by turning the out slider on the ADSR (or any modulator for that matter) all the way down, and that will switch the ADSR to run in unipolar 0..1 range. Not sur...

BTW: Also, while I see why you would want to use the HFO for making a kick drum, an alternative way is to use a regular Osc1, set to Sine, and then modulate its frequency using an envelope. The Osc should not have the same issue with low frequencies as the HFO. All the kicks in the psy-kick bank for...

Hi Ortseam, Because the HFO is high frequency, it has some built-in antialiasing. Unfortunatly, this has some problems in the low frequency area, mainly due to precision. I think that might be what you are seing in the plot. Also, for this reason I upped the precision in 1.20: Bugfix: Internal Osc u...

Hi Ortseam!! So glad you are using the synth. Love all the cool feedback. :D Actually, you are correct. It is a bug, and part of the bugfixes in 1.20 is: Bugfix: HFO rate could not go below 44Hz in FM Mode. Fixed. However, I believe this fix was only for FM mode. Is that correct or did I miss someth...

Thanks so much Ortseam! Some good points indeed. "polarity" was just meant to be a smooth inverter knob. So basically amplify by -1 to 1. But I agree with your comments. It might make more sense with a pre/post amplifier settings too, like the fruity one. I'll think about the square UI thing. It cou...

Yeah..I've reproed the bug. Also found the offending line in the code. So looks like this fix will be in v1.20. :lol: That code was pretty old. So I'm surprised that this has gone unnoticed for so long.:oops: The code was unique for mono/legato modes. So just to be sure, you did not encounter this i...

Currently the best way is still upload your work to a download/sharing site and then post links to your patch banks or individual patches here. Alternatively, You can send complete patch banks to me by email, and I will add them to the stuff section. I'm extremely sorry for the slow reply btw. I com...

PS: Sounds like you might also need a "Rectifier" module to do the flute thing? If so please let me know, and perhaps point me to what you are using? Thanks.

Great! Thanks!!
EDIT: Meanwhile I will try to repro too.

Good points. I really appreciate your input and see what you mean. Regarding envelope and pos. That is indeed a good point. I mean, what you are basically asking for is a method for controlling the position into a programmable envelope using an external module to remap the input. However, I'm still ...

Sounds like a bug to be honest. :oops: So don't feel bad btw.. Please keep "nagging" :D The portamento works differently in mono vs poly modes. However, that said, it should not reset on release. That just sounds wrong. If this happens on any patch I will look into it, otherwise please send me the r...

Hi Ortseam! Thanks for some very detailed posts!! I really like your explanations, and I'm actually sold on the idea of having the sort of control that you describe. Thanks for the flute sound example. It sounds very good indeed!! I'm very impressed by the realistic blowing noise actually. I'm not s...

Ok! Great! Thanks. Only One or Two points should make it easier I guess. I’ll have to thing about if splines would be better. :) So just out of curiousity...Which modules do you have in mind for using as input to such a module? Modulation signals specifically. You mentioned note velocity, so I’m ima...

ok. So how do you imagine the editing?
Should the curve be edited via control points (like envelope) or free drawing (like additive)?

I could add a HQ option for oversampled output, with a built-in LP filter. But I still imagine aliasing would be a real pain for audio input.

Just thought I should add that the drawing could also be sort of like the one in the "additive" module. That is completely free.
I think something like this split into partials would be needed to make it antialiased anyway.

Hi Ortseam! Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum! :D Not bad. Thanks for the idea. If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to draw the remapping curve? I mean in the UI. Is that correct? The question is how you would like this interaction to be. I.e should it be completely free, ...

Hi Scott,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Weird, disabling UAC should do it, but if your vst install folder is inside a "Program Files" path, please try to install the synth into a different folder you create, that isn't protected by the OS.

Best,

Hi! Thanks for getting in touch! The "regular download link" simply means the links you got by email when you first purchased KarmaFX Synth Modular. In case you lost them, please send me your registration details by email, and I will make sure to send them to you again. Alternatively, you can click ...

Hi Molec! Yes, it is C++ and assembler from the ground up 8) No corners have been cut in terms of accuracy. It's non fixed function due to its modular nature and 100% sample accurate, even for stuff like modulation, which can get heavy on the CPU. However, if you have a specific patch in mind that i...

Hi JamminFool and Fabi!
Thanks for getting in touch!

Yes, there is a 64 bit version now.

And, yes, notification emails are still underway. I have just sent both of you your download links manually.

Hi Emanuele,

can you please try 1.19.
I reworked the note selection code.

GUI: Improved accuracy of pattern module note display and editing.

I agree.

However, UI-wise it is not so easy.

Hi Ballacr!
Yes, if you delete the index.txt file, the synth will autogenerate it!

However, the patch numbers in the filenames need to be there, so
it's more like your name/order your patches in the directory, and have the synth recreate the index file.

I have just pm'ed you. Please reply there or through email.
Thanks.

Wow, Hi Molec!
So sorry for the slow reply.

I rarely check the forum these days.
Better option is to contact through facebook or email.

However, sure I will resend you your version.

Hello Emanuele, and welcome to the family :wink: Good stuff on you soundclouds and web! Already enjoying Fluido alot: https://soundcloud.com/emanuele-ballasina/fluido Can't wait to hear what you will squeze out of the synth next. Never heard of sounds made with AutoCAD before :shock: ... cool!! Enjo...

you are welcome, ufo.

Hi airyck!
sorry to hear that.

please pm or email me your registration details, and I will make sure you get the links asap.

Hi Argi!! Great to hear from you! So glad you like the 64 bit update! 8) Plans. Oh yeah... After months of Mac porting and 64 bit upgrading and stability :shock:, I hope to return to adding some new cool features. For instance, one ideas is to add a chord mode to the unison module and also the arp i...

Hi Molec, heh...So sorry for completely missing your post.
No, sampler patches should not kill the CPU.

Can you perhaps shed some light on what you are doing exactly?
E.g., Are you using polyphony?

You are also welcome to email me the patch, and I will take a look.

The auval terminal command to check the synth is:

Hi, I've just helped solve this issue with a user, and seems like good idea to share it here. The KarmaFX synth AU was not showing up in Reaper 64bit 4.402 (latest) on a Mac Book Pro, even though the installation went ok and running auval in terminal showed the AU was working fine.
