Yes, it's been a long run - over a year of development...

Many thanks to Loque, he gave many useful tips and made a lot of great patches!

I seriously don't need more synthesizers, but this looks yummy :thumbup:

Looking forward to some sound demos :puf_bigsmile:

:thumbs_up: break point was a cool addition to envelopes
also looks like TonicMint was involved somehow, seems like pretty cool collaboration

Really sounds good to my ears. Hopefully a manual is around the corner ...

Great addition to the portfolio.

A manual will be helpful for sure. The envelopes, filters, mod matrix slots, sequences and arps per oscillator can easily be overlooked. Or copying of settings, randomizer function and changing of FX order is not that obvious.

Is there a global randomizer in this synth?

No. Only for the sequencer/arp.

RAMA has been updated...

What's new in v 1.1.1

- new function in the seq/arp panel: ratchet! Usage: Shift-click on the GATE field of the actual pattern increases the ratchet number (no, 2,3,4), alt-shift decreases it.

- new modulation source: Macro 3 (just because there must be three of everything in RAMA :D)

- new shortcut for performance select arrow (near the mod wheel, where the default view is Aftertouch): if you click on it, you got a dropdown menu… now if you shift-click the arrow, it jumps to the next view (Breath, Expression. etc.), alt-shift: previous view.

- small fixes and performance improvements

That's all for now! :)

You use this to define what the X/Y Pad controls.

I've seen all of this but I don't understand what it's for, how it works and can't find the manual. :oops:

For example assign "Macro 1" to control "FIlter CutOff" in the Mod Matrix. Now you can control "Filter Cut Off" with the "Macro 1" slider in the X/Y Ctrl Pad.

You can also use the Macro controls to automate the effect parameters, like delay feedback, amount, bitcrush sample rate, distortion amount, etc.
The number of parameters that can be automated is limited, and since there are too many effect parameters, they cannot be automated directly.

The workaround can be the fx mod matrix, you can modulate these parameters with automatable mod sources, like Macro1, 2, mod wheel, expression, etc.

Hi AndrasHaasz

Love your Maia collection and they wavesequencer idea is amazing
Sorry if is not the right place for make a suggestion
but is possible add two clock cv inputs for driving the two sequencers independently with external time divisions
I think this will be great

Thank you for your time

Dionisio
