Unison inconsistencies (bug or natural? Synth v1 RC4)
Posted: 10 Oct 2007 12:41
1. KarmaFX Synth v1.00 RC4
2. Cantabile Lite 1.2 (doesn't matter)
3. After some extensive fiddling around with the synth yesterday, it seems I've noticed some 'gradual' issues that happen to the output when the "Unison" module is within the modular workspace.
Problem:
It appears to have an inconsistent phasing that's highly audible, particularly on initial load of a patch that uses not too much detuning. As one plays around over time, the phasing of the unison voices become "consistent" after a minute or so. (The heavy flanging stops.) This may be a problem in cases of bouncing audio, where the unison phase is highly 'condensed' until after a minute of usage.
4. Here's the patch using. though I'd rather you listen to the MP3. The recorded example demonstrates the following:
---Playing a line with the patch already loaded for a while. (no changes done at all.)
---Playing the same line with the patch just reloaded. (notice the difference?)
---Playing at random from that point until the sound becomes normal. (the phase/output tone does not change from that point.)

Question (Seperate issue):
I'm not quite understanding the concept of "Symmetric" and "Straight" settings, however I've noticed that they're the same "pitch" on initial usage. But over a long period of time, either Symmetric would detune down, or Straight detune up. I can't address this as a problem, but I was wondering if you could shed some light on this one.
Thanks in advance.
