Anyone up for supersaws?


#21

you will need to rebuild the firmware for a discovery board, you cannot just use the axoloti firmware supplied.
before building you will need to change the axoloti defines, and also the memory layout in the ld files.
(the latter you can look at previous versions for reference)

note: this object would work on older firmware... obviously within the memory confines of the board.


#22

so i can't test it without too much hassle is basically the answer?

gosh, i wish i could order 3 or more axoloti right now >_<


#23

no, I said, just use whatever firmware you already had running on your discovery board (I'm assuming you already have axoloti running?) and then just copy this object over to it, should work fine.


#24

No, don't use old firmware with new gui. Current firmware should work fine after the documented mod.


#25

well, once i open up axoloti 1.0.3 , it says:

"No available USB device found with matching PID/VID"

while it works on axoloti 0.3 running on the same computer frowning

edit: to stay ontopic, i created this:

basically 2x 4 poly supersaws (1 is one octave down with different detune) and added some panning to each supersaw, sounds pretty nice to me, however, since i "can't" use the new firmware, i used a subpatch using phasors, resulting in high dsp load (so no fun stuff like delays, reverb, eq, compression, global filters and such)


#26

Long time ago, Axoloti exposed itself as a usb-serial device. Since there is no reason to use this profile, it changed into a vendor-specific usb device.
You need to:
* modify the firmware according to doc
* compile the firmware
* flash the firmware using the rescue (dfu) flash method


#27

will try that a.s.a.p. smile
( also, why isn't the axoloti facebook updated since july? )


#28

also, @johannes , looking at the supersaw oscillator code, it needs to have "detune mix" and "detune amount" inlets (preferably logarithmic ones instead in linear ones, like the jp8000 had)


#29

hmm... looking at the supersaw oscillator @johannes made. it uses like 300% DSP load versus a phasor oscillator, but sound nicer and more authentic.

please don't mind my voice, i woke up like 30 mins before i made this video, so was still all sleepy


#30

You're mixing 7 supersaw oscs for one voice? One supersaw osc is already 7 detuned saws...


#31

hm... well, it still misses the detune amount and detune mix inlets..


#32

The one on git just now has an added detune amount parameter.
Is a mix parameter really needed? I mean, to emulate a JP8000, sure, but if the goal is emulation, it 'd also impose the limits of that. I'd rather mix it with a separate oscillator, more flexibility.
