Here's my first submission. Probably not very good patches yet. I'm still just plugging things into random holes and seeing what I get. I also haven't had much time to devote to this synth since i got it a week or two ago. Anyway, I'll try to kick out a few more (and better) patches.

anyone here making audio effects with Complex-1? I made a fuzz "pedal" (with other weirdness, of course) that works really well for bassy instruments, guitar, and does some really cool stuff on drums. there are several other devices involved, but Complex-1 is the workhorse that brings it all together. I'll probably share it in the next few days if anyone's interested, once I finish tweaking the Combi controls.

I'm just getting my hands dirty in it and it's a lot of fun, but I'm definitely more capable at coming up with my own patches for it as an effects unit than creating cool synth patches.

I'm still getting my hands dirty, too. This is my first experience with modular synthesis (I never got anything figured out using Blamsoft's polymodular system), so I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it all works. I haven't tried using this as an effect unit, yet. I'd be interested in checking out any effect patches you want to share.

I packed them up in a Refill: https://www.mjxl.net/rsn/Complex-1%20Co ... ReFill.rfl

I will update the ReFill when new patches get posted, I've left the 'template' intact.

I also added 3 patches called 'FM-Hell' , 'SawThat' and 'WooHoo' lulz

//ps: can someone add this in the first post? challism?

I use latest Google Chrome.
The link opens.
But the refill is shown as text.
No download.

Thanks for putting everything together into one refill. That's great! I'd be happy to post it on the first page/post, but I'm having the same issue as drk73. Can't download; opens up a strange page filled with code.

Has any one tried right-clicking the link and choosing 'save as'?

mjxl you can post it here, you just need to zip the file first.

Crépe, I fixed the issue. Created a MIME-Type for the .rfl extension.
It's now considered a zip file instead of text, and will download just fine now :) !

@joeyluck I prefer it on my server, since I don't have to update posts/links on an update.
The current link can now be clicked, so it can be added to opening post :) ! (I'll also put it in my signature)

My PipPopCorn didnt made it into the refill :-(

The sounds should be leveld out a bit. The loudness is quite random.

Woops, adding it.. //done

Should I run by them and adjust the volume on the mixers or what? (the on-synth mixers i mean)

If you like, yes. Be carefull with Combinators and Mixers within. A Gain change can also change the overall sound. If you are not sure, just add a final small mixer for loudness control or this one https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack ... /khs-gain/ :thumbs_up:

Wow, thanks for compiling!

Thanks to everybody who contributed too. Still working on my modular chops over here, so I'm seeking epiphanies rather than sharing the wealth at this point. One day perhaps.

Great to have patches from so many different perspectives :)

Got it downloaded. Thanks again to all who contributed and to mjxi for packing the refill.
I have updated the first post with a link to the refill.
I'm eager to go look at some of these patches and see how you guys built them.
Cheers!

Will do, but thought I get how the synths work, I've never been very strong as a sound developer...
Specially with Complex-1, I feel it is a fascinating synth, but I haven't had good results with it.
