I had fun today, using only the patches on this board to try and sequence a few things together. Nothing amazing, just a load of patches, and a few external DAW (cubase) effects. (autofilters, eq, comp, distortion, reverbs)

a thought... since your producing so many patches, id suggest you embed any community objects that you use, so you 'freeze' the behaviour.

That's a very good idea, that I haven't put into practice yet, but I'll do it very soon (for the old ones), and from now on with all new patches.
Thanks

Pad sound made with a 3 wavetable oscillators + adsr on each into a LP filter, per voice
You need to have this wave table I created for it

You can make a million other sounds by tweaking this patch

A track done by using most of the last made sounds, very little processing (a bit of eq and a big Plate reverb on Aux).
Axoloti is really good at producing FM sounds (good old DX years all over again).

An accordion sound

I used this sound, converted into a MPE instrument and with a big delay, for this video (played using a striso board and one axoloti)
A Church Organ Patch
Paraphonic with built-in church reverb.
Available in the library:
Library/community/tiar/GM/020-ChurchOrgan-tiar.axp (26.9 KB)
"fb" controls the brilliance.
0 for a dull organ sound.
45 is optimal.
Here is a Dark Strings Patch
85 note paraphonic with stereo vib/chorus.
The modulation wheel introduces octave doubling
Available in the library:
Library/community/tiar/GM/052-Synth-Strings-2-tiar.axp
Basic and barbaric test of paraphony:
A western movie camp fire by night.
Library/community/tiar/GM/023-Harmonica-tiar.axp
- 3 octave paraphonic
- Aftertouch sensitive
- The modulation wheel controls the echo/delay
Simply play parallel thirds to get the wild west spirit.

Thanks @SmashedTransistors for these great patches, they sound very nice.
I was hoping to easily add pitch bend to them (for my own usage) but I can't see a way my limited brain can do it.
Keep up the great work (I like the saxophone too 
)

i don't think pitchbend will be easy to add since these patches use a fixed oscillator bank...
Most of the original string machines used a single HF oscillator and frequency and octave dividers.
Oscillators - in the oscillator banks i coded at the moment - are as easily modulable as any other oscillators.
I already added vibrato inputs for small (multiplicative linear: " * (1+epsilon) " ) frequency deviations (see the Harmonica patch).
I can make up a solution for larger (exponential) modulations and add an input for that.
Hi @mtyas,
I added +-12 semitone pitch bend to Library/community/tiar/strings/052-Synth-Strings-2-tiar.axp
Pitch bend on chords is evil 
Library/community/tiar/GM/031-Distortion-Guitar-tiar.axp
(beware of sound level)
I started this one to test the oversampling / downsampling / antialiasing objects I am developing.
This is a polyphonic patch that uses a common distortion, so the resulting sound mostly depends on the frequency ratios. 4th, 5th and 8ves sound smooth, other ratios will sound harsher.
- The pitch bend is +- one octave
- the modulation wheel induces vibrato
- the aftertouch controls the distortion (gains and cutoff/res of intermediary filter).
The distortion is x2 oversampled. It is based on the classic scheme: sat -> high pass -> sat
The saturations are anti aliased soft clippers (differentiated polynomials and x2 oversampled).
I added a stereotypical ping pong delay.
