Luna Dual Performance Synth by PinkNoise Studio in the shop

That's because it isn't. Analogue Monsters doesn't include Voyager and their website doesn't list a Voyager refill.

Interesting. I wonder what tobypearce is referring to?

@tobypearce?

Last week there was still a Voyager refill, they must have pulled it from the shop when luna was introduced.

Found some old details:

Voyager refill features

• 1.78 GB multi-samples (over 2400 wav files) in 24 bit wav format.
• All samples are perfectly looped and contain the unity note info for quick and proper automapping.
• 124 REX loops: melodic bass, arp & noise sequences for KLP (keyboard loop player).
• 339 NN-19 patches, 412 NN-XT patches, 128 Combinator presets.
• Refill size: 1.22 GB (24 bit).

So if Luna doesn't come with hundreds of presets (or any Combi), then it looks like Pink Noise might have dropped the ball on content. Maybe an update will add some presets, though...

VOYAGER refill has been discontinued.

Technical question: is it possible to recreate such rompler using Reason modular architecture: NNXT, filters, Reason effects et cetera?

[tobypearce]

Yes, you can generally diy in Reason, but bear in mind:
*The GUI will be different, of course. In this case the GUI is excellent, but yes you can create a similar type of set up via refill.
*The FX won't be the same, although you'll still have all the same kinds of FX available such as delay, reverb etc. Indeed: you'll be able to use any plugin or RE you like.

I've found a possible bug in mono mode. I tried to play Keith Emerson's synth solo in Lucky Man. There's a short passage, where two notes D one octave apart alternate with a little bit of slide. That is, while holding down the lower D, then repeatedly playing and releasing the upper D, the sound should slide between them up and down. But it doesn't happen. When I release the upper D, the sound simply stops. It shouldn't work like this. However, I love Luna, just like all Pink Noise refills. Kudos to Andras.

Hi Boys,

This is my first message, I'm new here!

That mono bug is already fixed, will be included in the next update - I plan to release it next week.
It will be a major update with some improvements, bigger patchbank, more convolutions, rewritten envelopes, etc.

If you have any Luna related question, from now on I'm here to answer

Welcome Andras! Your GUI/UX is seriously top notch for your first RE - well done! Looking forward to more Pink Noise RE’s!

[paulred67]

Great job! Quick response.

Hi Andras,

I really like Luna, good job! I have a question, a suggestion and a request.

In the presets "5. Arp and Rhythmic" all the Sequencer Patches behave as I would expect, playing repeating patterns, when holding down some keys. All the Arp Patches don't, just playing a note(s) and then stopping, even though the keys are still held down. Is that the way it is supposed to happen or am I missing something?

The position ticks on the silver knobs are really hard to see on my 32" monitor, making it hard to determine their settings. Could you make the position mark a little thicker with a more contrasting color (red)?

It would be really cool to have a Trigger Sequencer (like your other product "Layers"). Looks like it would fit nicely in the INS FX section.

Thanks, keep up the good work. Looking forward to the update.

surprised to not see a manual either in the shop page or the pink noise website. i do enjoy reading the manuals

You're new to the forum; welcome! FYI: if you don't quote the person you're responding to, they'll never get an email notification alerting them to thread activity (hence, Andras may never see your post unless he comes back and reads the thread).

Patches are named as "Arp" are for arpeggiator, you can use a player device or RPG-8 for them to create arpeggios. The "Seq" patches are tempo synced sequences (mostly modulated by LFOs), they sound rhythmically without an arpeggiator. So, it's intentional.

You didn't see the previous knobs! I had a long fight with the GUI designers, that's already the improved knob :-/

I don't plan to add a trigger sequencer or any new feature in the near future. I now focus on the Factory bank, I'd like to create many new sounds, and enjoy the work with my creature!

I am working on it. It will be available soon, probably next week.

Thanks for your response Andras!

Ok, I now get the ARP preset naming convention. Thanks...

The silver knob position indicator is more notable when pointed down since it's white against dark grey. But when pointed up it's white against light grey, and can only be seen when zoomed in, on higher resolution monitors. It's also too thin and competes against the reflections on the knob. Not the end of the world but it seems more like camouflage than an indicator (style over substance). Other than these knobs the rest of the UI looks good!

The trigger sequencer was just a suggestion for future development. It works really well in Layers, and quickly adds interest to your sounds.

Good Luck, looking forward to what you come up with!


Thanks for the welcome and suggestion EnochLight!

[AndrasHaasz]

The new update will be available on Monday.

Fixes:
- mono mode will work properly
- graphical offset bug in Filter enable switch

Improvements:
- new envelope response curve (higher resolution at the starting range to create more “punchy” sounds)
- 15 new convolution reverb types
- new patches for the Factory bank
- easier to read the grey moog style knob's values

That's all

Andras

[jayhosking]

Wow. I can't wait to try this out.

[Robert]

Thanks Andras! Looking forward to this...

Hi Andras,

congratulations on the “debut” RE, and a warm welcome back to Pinknoise in general

My request is simple... do a competition! Give me a good reason to waste some time demoing this thing extensively

Just my 2 cents

[AndrasHaasz]

Thanks András!

It's been released, 1.0.2 is available now.

The Luna user manual is available now on the product page.
24 pages of pure excitement, don't miss it!

Better late than never...

whoa nice a lot of the device is intuitive but its good to read a manual to find the boundaries of a device

[artotaku]

So, thanks to the manual, we now know that the lovely UI is made by vogerdesign which also did Propellerhead Klang, Humana and Pangea

Well, Luna certainly looks like one of the best GUI's to come out for an RE in a very long time, so I'm not surprised. Voger Design is top notch and money well spent, IMHO.
