Re: Ochen K?

This is a really interesting read. I sort of understand the preference of REs over VSTs, but I think that’s more in theory than practice. If a developer made a synth and released it in VST and RE formats, and they were the same, then totally, get the RE. It’ll be a better experience in Reason. But t...

Hey all. Just seeing this thread. I don’t swing by here too often, so I’ll just dump a bunch of answers in one go. Yep, still alive! 4MER thread: Yeah, the 4MER thread was a little weird, but I didn’t take any of it personally. It’s the nature of making things that you share with the public. A bunch...

Re: 4MER WaveShaper Synth is in the Shop!

Wow. Okay. I'm not sure I can respond to everything, but I'll try to hit the highlights. There are other techniques to help deal with aliasing. All of them require knowing and limiting the waveform itself. This works if you have a wavetable synth, or a synth that just has basic wave shapes. In those...

Re: 4MER WaveShaper Synth is in the Shop!

It's not a custom widget, the sync rate is a knob. Unless... oh, cos he's got 4 LFOs on one set of knobs, and you can't have 2 values on four sets. As you note, it is, in fact, a limitation of the SDK that you can't value switch knobs between more than two states. Right now, the LFO rate knobs are ...

Re: 4MER WaveShaper Synth is in the Shop!

Hi, I was browsing through the presets and found problems with some of them. By moving the MOD wheel and/or selecting one of the OSCs (1 2 3 4 buttons) it changed the sound (other than what MOD wheel was assigned to). Not sure I understand. I loaded a few of those patches, and the mode wheel did wh...

Re: 4MER WaveShaper Synth is in the Shop!

1. Once, When I hit reset to initialize , Osc 1 refured reset back to a Sine wave, but once I created a new instance it reset properly after using it. One of my very few complaints about the SDK is that REs aren't informed when the user resets the device, and what is communicated to the device when...

Re: 4MER WaveShaper Synth is in the Shop!

One question for Ochen K, it seems the you can't drop the volume of Osc 2 to zero but can for all the rest of the Oscillators. Move the slider/ knob right down but it still plays. Hmm.. I can't replicate that. I did try it in version 7.1 for Windows, as well as 8. What OS are you on? So to be clear...

Hey everyone. Yep, 4MER is getting close. The GUI hasn't been redesigned, except where it needed to change to accommodate new features. But during the first round of beta testing back in the summer, a number of feature suggestions were offered that I decided to include for launch, so I went back to ...

Thanks hydlide and others. It's good to get your perspectives. 1) I'm hoping to send out an email to beta testers tomorrow with next steps. If at that point, you or anyone else is no longer able or interested in testing 4MER, that's totally fine. You can ignore the email. No hard feelings. It won't ...

Many times we hear from folks who have an idea, but no experience programming. Other times we have folks who are amazing at making GUIs, but no experience programming.

Hey Selig. Thanks for the response. There's no hard feelings at all. As you know, for independent developers like us, reputation is really important.

Preview and beta call for new Ochen K synth

My latest RE is getting ready for beta testing. It’s a waveshaping synth called 4MER (pronounced either “Former” or “Vormer” depending on how international I’m feeling that day.)

As far as I know, it did fix the issue. Two people said they'd verify that it did before I submitted it to the shop so I sent them beta licenses.

Re: Carve ATK & REL anyone ever using those params?

Hey Selig, Based on your analysis and questions, my guess is that you don’t understand how FFT analysis works. If you did, you’d know what’s going on. My understanding is that you don’t program your own plugins, so you may not have immediate need to understand FFT, but it’s pretty fundamental to DSP...

Nope, no Ochen K logo. I usually just add it in whatever logotype I use for the device logo.
