Re: Blamsoft's Expanse Hyperwave Synthesizer Song Challenge | The Announcement

As they say pride comes before a fall: this evening (GMT) I visited this thread happy in the belief I had completed the challenge entry in plenty time, for the first time . No issues with timezones this time. Much worse, I got the 30th stuck in my mind by mistake. Ironic, as I took a break from it y...

Re: Performance drop with Reason 9

In 2016, complacency says "we all need a new CPU for a new version" when in fact, there's room for us to expect better performance from Reason. ..... It's my opinion that we have room to expect better performance is my main point. Especially considering what other DAWs and studios are running on in...

Same for here - not an unreasonabe assumption given it was called 'May Madness'

@Synth: I hope it's not one of those really hoggy things like the mixfood. I hope to be demoing during the sale period, so do not know personally if CPU load was so significant. Still, it's very good to see the manufacturer has introduced a Sound Quality selection switch to the rear panel. :thumbs_...

Re: Is it worth looking into RE filters?

It's may be worth considering the Numerical Sound Tilt filters too? They have a bundle http://tinyurl.com/jlu86pm or come separately; quite expensive but regularly discounted during sale times (May Madness anyone ?!!). They must have to work hard to achieve their tilting effect as I do find them qui...

Re: Necessary Computer Specs to Avoid Overwhelming CPU

Re: Faturator vs Scream4 Question ?

I like trying Faturator in parallel with dry signals , with the best approach from very subtle settings. Faturator has fewer features and is not as versatile as Scream, but some signals do just give unpleasant results but I find that this is apparent usually very quickly. When it works though it can...

Re: Roland Juno 106 RE

Over in VST world, TAL did a freeware version of the Juno 106's cousin the Juno 60, now replaced by their relatively inexpensive commercial version (TAL-U-No-62 and TAL-U-NO-LX respectively). Their LX has the option of up to 12 voice polyphony (or Mono mode), an arpeggiator and a chorus module. The ...

Re: Decimort VS Resampler

I have the VST after their 'no-brainer' upgrade offer from v1, and feel the control and range of variation offered when compared to the excellent resampler make Decimort a prime candidate to be crowned king of bitcrusher/sample rate reduction devices. I would welcome corrections from those members m...

Re: MilkShake Low Frequency Oscillator in the shop

I got somewhat confused , not finding Kron in the PH shop; I take it Kron was the pre-release name for PSDN CV Envelope Generator by Alien Seed Tech?

I think it's handy having the rate available in musical tempo multiples, although converting between beats to Hz is not a hard.

A well shaped sawtooth is pretty much harmonically very similar to any other synths well tuned sawtooth - I am no expert, but if I could share stuff I have read and seen on the 'net and mags. From this I also think it's a bit of both. I understand often the imperfections in the oscillator waveforms...

Re: Blackpole Station Polyphonic Synthesizer in the shop

I'm not sure it's safe to say pulse width modulation isn't possible with IDT - done as a wave table process it would be quite simple to pull off IMO. Osc Sync is also possible - can only say I've seen it addressed (not by me) but can't say more. :) Thanks . A case for 'watch this space' perhaps ? N...
