Title: Oscillator options
Post by: chrisqhq on May 11, 2019, 05:30:17 pm
I really like this thing a lot, Great work!   ;D

Unfortunately, maybee through absent-mindedness, you've forgot to add two obvious options for the oscillator section, but I'm happy to help:
Just add a possibility to dial in some Noise for all waveforms (e.g. Shift-Timbre) and, while you're at it, add a Squarewave Sub-Oscillator (e.g. Shift-Wave).
Some of the Waves and oscillator models lack a bit of content in certain frequencies and I think this would help to beef them up.  ;)

Thanks!

+1 - good idea, including the UI solution!

Luckily, noise is cheap CPU wise. A square wave sub would have to be bandlimited, but can still be very CPU efficient - if the CPU cycles required is still too much, a sine would do nicely too.

How about adding square-to-sine morph for the sub osc using Shift + Shape?

I'm really loving it, too!

I don't know whether this is an oscillator option, or an oscillator engine option (my sense is you might have room to expand the latter), but providing a granular engine would be a great addition. Wave would be starting wave sample; Timbre would be grain size (the length of the sample selected to essentially loop); Shape would be repetition rate.

Something like that, I'd trust you folks to create the relevant model. :)

I like both these ideas
