hi again....some more comments
- at first i also tried changing the ADSR sliders to a log setting, and
totally understand what you mean about the low values and clicking. my workaround was just to change the range from 1-5000 to 5-5000. however, i think an even better solution is not the log function, but an exponential one.
if you change the sliders to 0-1 range and then do:
[r slider-value] | [pow 2] (or 3) | [* 5000] | [+ 1]
then that gives the most user-friendly sliders in my opinion.
- i understand that you can change the pan position and speed, but unless
i'm mistaken, there is no way just to keep everything centre panned. i think a pan width slider would be helpful. however, maybe that's just something i want and wouldn't be that important for anyone else, so i might just put that on my own modified version.
- not sure what was happening with the gain problem. perhaps svf~ puts out
some gnarly peaks that are well above the -1 1 threshold, and that was making things sound weird when i changed volume. the problem seems fine now, because i deleted the gain section from the polywavevoice~ abtraction and put the gain directly onto the ouptut of polywavesynth~. the gain slider also had a really unusable range, so i also adjusted that into a more manageable range.
i will definitely use this synth a lot from now on. today i was running it with an SH101 emulator i am making, and a modified sequenced version of frank's vosim~ abstraction, and some drum synths, and it was all sounding pretty sweet. really cool to be able to get some polyphony happening and do chords and stuff!
