Semi modular Re?
Posted: 20 Jun 2018
Was just thinking about the idea of a Thor like semi modular synth for the Re platform
I assume since grain was made with the Re sdk that it’s possible for developers to make a Thor(ish) synth with multiple types of oscillators,filters,effects, and internal routing options
I think it would be cool if someone made a synth that literally had all types of synthesis like wave table, VA, additive, resynthisis, samples.
Not sure how adding modifiers would work, I feel like some of the oscillator types would be able to have bend +/- and pwm but the sample based oscillators couldn’t
I mean it appears to be currently possible
Since the past few sdk improvements it’d be cool to see someone do their take on a Thor 2. But I also assume having small oscillators of all sorts would be a pain to develop. If a synth like this were to happen I think the best option is to have FM via the mod matrix. So you could get the best of all the types of synthesis but have the ability to use FM on types of synthesis that you wouldn’t normally use
Such as having a sine wave routed to frequency modulate a granular sample or vice versa
Just thinking out loud here
