New Tool (2.8-3.1): Padsynth

Haven’t played with it that much, but it isn’t difficult to use or sound bad at all, have gotten pretty cool results even though it feels a lill random changing the sliders, having no idea what the changes will do to the overall sound. Can take a while generating sounds if you use longer durations and note ranges / step sizes spanning a few octaves, which can be off-putting if you wish to a-b compare the synth on different settings. The test-tone will come in handy in this kind of scenario for sure.

Maybe you can add tool-tips explaining how the different parameters affect the outcome, also for things like the drop-down options in ‘Placement’ (harmonic, multiplied, Powered, Waved)?

I think this tool really starts to shine when you adjust the envelopes in the ‘Instrument Settings’, for example adding a slow attack portion in a volume envelope, use some panning and filtering. Maybe you can take a look at Mxb’s Resynth and use his envelope and arpeggiator tricks for your tool as well? :drummer:

Maybe you can ask vV how he worked around the ‘Script not responding’ notice, using a progress bar in one of his scripts?
