This is what you’ve all been waiting for, finally a native real synthesizer for Renoise 3.0!
I made this using the RingMod trick and the keys trigger the right frequency. It’s got 8 macro bindings with different features:
Waveform selection (sine, triangle, exponent, sawtooth and square)
Simple envelope controllers, attack and sustain/release
Glissando controller
Crazy pitch device (i wasn’t able to make a decent pitch controller for vibratos and such, but this overrides the pitch completely and you can manipulate it freely with key commands and automation)
I very well know about dblue’s teqhniques, my invisible tunes i made a while ago was based on those. This is the first time we get this tone generetor into an instrument though, and with macro controllers and all.
3.0 is the shit!
Good job. Although i do wonder how hard it will be to create some type of meta oscillator device.
Even with basic waveforms to begin with then maybe custom waveforms
currently, the devices have not enough time resolution (id est: they cannot change their values fast enough) to be High Frequency Oscillators good enough to be used as sound generators
Thanks! I’m also working on a polyphonic synth and i made an individual fx chain for each tone from c-0 to b-5 so far, but unfortunately i got too much aliasing problems or what to call it. Except from the awful pops every time it’s triggered it sounds very good, i hope i’ll find a solution.
There is also one thing that i can’t wrap my head around, why aren’t the keys split evenly with the key tracker? What i mean is if i set the key tracker to A-1 to A-3, dest. min 55Hz and max 220Hz then why does the A-2 key trigger 110.27HZ? Is this a bug, should i report it?
A-1 and A-3 is fine, but every other key is wrong, seems like it’s adding a couple of hertz to each halfnote or something.
woo… very interesting and cool. thnx mr TheBellows.
man, if i knew 1/4 as much about how to use renoise’s potential as some people here i’d be well happy… i guess each new thing you learn slowly adds up…
I made this instrument before i really knew the whole potential of the new Sampler, so i’d say the structure of this instrument is a bit clumsy. It doesn’t matter as long as it works for what you’re doing, but i have some other instruments i think is much better.
