FM synthesizer patch


#1

I made a FM synth.
it has 3 modulators (1 free running), 3 adsr envelopes, a modulation mixer and 1 carrier.

fm1.axp (9.8 KB)

i'm trying to figure out the presents. (the patch has 2 presents for now)
it would be nice to have a button that includes all parameters in the current present.
and live editing + saving of the presents.
now it's a bit 'omslachtig'


#2

there is a very good reason to NOT have all presets in a patch....
each preset can be affecting different parameters, so this means you can get an amazing combination of sounds, with very few presets...
(don't think of them as presets, in the sense of a soft synth, that is a limiting view)

of course as with all software, there is room for improvement smile
(whatever omslachtig means)

not had time to try the patch yet... but sounds interesting.


#3

omslachtig = tedious

I agree there is certainly room for improvement in the preset system. But including all parameters is every preset is not "best practice".


#4

that is true. but now (if i understand it correctly) i have to select each parameter, add it to the present and if i want it for more than 1 present, i have to click all those checkboxes)
So if you have 20 parameters, this is quite a hassle.

omslachtig (dutch word) means "laborious'

i did not mean for every preset, just a button if you do want to use 'm all.
or maybe in the present edit mode, if you select/change the knob, it is automatictly added to the preset?
