| Record | Proposed Feature or fix | Details | How does it work now, or is it new? | Why would this help? | This change does not affect previous programs because . .? | How will this work with the current switches and displays? | Your name or email address (optional) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | envelope release as modulation destination | just like envelop attacks are currently available, so too shall relase become | it's new | makes a sound appear and disappear in the mix | no current program points to this modulation destination | a new mod destination would appear in the scrolling list of modulation destinations "E1R" for example | halcyon_and_on@hotmail.com |
| 2 | double-click on a row button to enter shift mode and select that row | e.g. press row 3 button twice and you're in shift mode and modifying the shifted filter parameters | we could 2x click a row button that would be equivalent functionality | sometimes it saves a keypress, makes editing even more elegant | it changes the editing mode, not the sound | displays won't change, but row switches will have to be monitored for double-clicks, like shift is currently monitored for 2x clicks | halcyon_and_on@hotmail.com http://gweep.net/~shifty |
| 3 | rough estimation of the pitch of external inputs as a modulation source | I have some 21xx source code I can share with you to efficiently (<20 cycles) get an estimation of the input pitch | it's brandy-new and bumpalicious | Internal oscillators would track the pitch of an input signal, giving it a new timbre | cur. prgs don't have this as a modulation source | new modulation source e.g. "I1P" and "I2P" would be added to the scrolling list of modulation sources | http://gweep.net/~shifty halcyon_and_on@hotmail.com |
| 4 | envelope decay as modulation destination | As envelope attack, but for envelope decay | new | good for adding variation to fast sequences, and rhythmic sequences | this is a new modulation destination, not implemented in previous programs | display item in list of modulatable destinations | zinoff@yahoo.com |
| 5 | Zero attack envelope time | Add along with EXP and LIN (call it EXI maybe) | Makes for faster, zappier attacks although could introduce clicks | Better for sequencing | It's a new envelope parameter | Adds to the list of envelope response types | paul@softroom.co.uk |
| 6 | Add a sequencer trigger mode "MIDI Note" | Clock the step sequencer from MIDI notes in addition to the existing audio clock, MIDI clock etc. | It is new but well-known from the old days of analogue sequencing. | Allows timbral changes by altering parameters for each note played without the bodge of having to use an audio trigger to do it. Great for subtle nuances, varying the quality of a note. You could trigger the envelopes by notes as usual and have the sequencer simply control parameters like filter, PWM, osc levels, detune etc. | It is a new trigger mode for the sequencer | Adds onto the list of trigger sources | paul@softroom.co.uk |
| 7 | Wave number as modulation destination | Oc3&4's waves can only be selected by the 16 step sequencer. If mod destination included these waves you could make more complex patterns than now using external sources, LFOs, envelopes etc. | Currently you can only select waves manually or via internal sequencer. | Allow more interesting patterns | It is an additional mod destination | Adds to current list | paul@softroom.co.uk |
| 8 | Add Compare feature | A means to know if you have really improved a patch after hours tweaking <g> | New - perhaps in conjunction with the shift key (especially if the double-click row button is implemented - shift button becomes less useful then) | You'd know whether you really want to overwrite something. | It is not a program parameter | Dunno - Dave's clever, he can think of something. Either that or a means to audition a patch whilst keeping edits in a buffer - so you can check what you are overwriting | paul@softroom.co.uk |
| 9 | New envelope decay curves | Add different shapes of exponential decay | New - I'm thinking of the types of exponential curves seen in programs like Wavelab, for example that have steep/shallow decays for different amounts of "punch". Hell, you could also have a "punch" parameter - a tiny amount of sustain after the end of the initial attack.. | More versitility in envelope shapes without using modulation routings | New options for envelope shapes | Adds to current list | paul@softroom.co.uk |
| 10 | Add new mod sources for seperate cutoff and resonance for each analogue filter | Dunno if this is possible but worth asking <g> | At the moment the two filters are tied with just a single parameter that offsets between them | It would extend the versitility of the filter section | Adds to mod destination list | Adds to mod dest list | paul@softroom.co.uk |
| 11 | Extension of sequencer | Create shift mode for the sequencer to allow chained sequences. | New feature. Shiftmode - Seq 1: patch/sequence and bank (decimal points for bank) Seq 2: tranpose (+- 24 whole steps) Seq 3: number of repeats (also has reset and end) Seq 4: Volume | Create more complex grooves. Sort of a song mode to glue sequences together. | Shouldn't affect anything. The default sequence could loop (reset) to itself. | Hit sequence. Hit shift twice just like parameter mode. | rshanks@nc.rr.com |
| 12 | Extension of sequencer #2 | Or..... it could work like this | Shiftmode - Seq 1: patch and bank (decimal points for bank) Seq 2: sequence and bank (use a sequence from any patch) Seq 3: tranpose (+-24 whole steps) Seq 4: number of repeats (also has reset and end) | As above, a sequence of sequences. | synthlab@nc.rr.com | ||
| 13 | Make filter split parameter bipolar | it's unipolar now | It would allow for more filtering options, duh! | Previous programs could just has positive split values :) | It wouldn't really change anything except add a (-) symbol next to some FLS values | uvac@cox.net | |
| 14 | Legato mode for glide | notes would only glide if multiple keys are held | Notes glide all the time | It would add more live performance capability | see next column | It will be selectable under 'key mode' - LOL, LAL, HiL, perhaps. | uvac@cox.net |
| 15 | SLD mode for sequencer (okay, I've made it more realistic now) | for first track of sequencer, add SLD mode (before OFF, perhaps) where note is held until next step and glide (if applicable) is triggered. | It's new :) | We call it ACEEEIIID!!! | It's new. Old programs just won't have it programmed in! | Just turn the knob until SLd is displayed on the sequencer! | uvac@cox.net |
| 16 | midi note number selects patch | while right hand plays notes, left hand chooses patch | right now, patch change msg does it | changing patches while playing a melody generates intricate and beautiful sounds | it's a global parameter | menu item would have to be added | halcyon_and_on@hotmail.com |
| 17 | Ability to separately address parameters for the two filters. | Without changing any of the current buttons/knobs operations of the Evolver, separate left and right Filter Cutoff and Resonance items would be added to the list of Modulation destinations. While not quite the same as having two separate cutoff envelopes and resonance controls, this would afford a 90% solution, allowing you a very good degree of individual control over the two filters. It also has the advantage of retaining the simplicity of the current controls architecture (i.e. you'd still have a single dedicated filter envelope to control both filters). | New. Currently, the only thing close is the Filter "Split" parameter, which offsets the cutoff frequency of the two filters. | The Evolver would be capable of yet even more complex and, well, evolving sounds. Not many affordable monosynths ever had two separate filters with individual controls over each. I own some that do, and it is a very serious advantage over single filter synths. Resonant synth bass patches become especially fat and interesting. In the Evolver's case, this would also add to the depth of the L/R stereo image. | Because it would be implemented as four NEW items on the list of modulation destinations. | Four new items would be added to the list of modulation destinations - Right Filter Cutoff, Left Filter Cutoff, Right Filter Resonance, and Left Filter Resonance. You'd therefore use the current switches and displays exactly as they are used now. | ski@ex5tech.com |
| 18 | Add sequencer gate time as mod destination | Add a new modulation destination (perhaps `GAt') that sets the gate time for the current sequencer step to a percentage from 0-100 (0 = rest, 100 = legato). If no sources are modulating the GAt destination, then it defaults to the current fixed gate time. Getting the semantics right for continuous sources requres a bit of thought, but nothing too bad, I think. | New feature (currently gate times are fixed) | It would allow very flexible control over sequencer gate times without adding any complicated new modes or requiring any new patch storage! If you need per-step gate-times, just devote a sequencer channel to the gate-time destination. | It's an added destination. | It's just another entry in the list of mod destinations, so trivial. | miles@gnu.org |
| 19 | Patch Lock | Disables Program & Bank select knobs from changing the current patch | New | This will prevent accidental patch changes - helping to eliminate frustration and heartache since selecting a new patch while editing causes one's changes to be forever lost. | Not a saved program parameter | Shift_Program - displays ON or OFF | mr_rock@cydathria.com |
| 20 | Tap tempo | Tap n. taps and the evolver switches to the new tempo | It's new | I will not have to bring a workstation or a midi clock generator to gigs or when used as fx box | Tempo can be already overriden from the Main controls | When in sequencer mode use the Shift button [currently unused] either tap the tempo 3 or 4 times on the shift button or like adrenalinn hold the shift button down for one bar to determine and change the tempo. | Riccardo zinoff@yahoo.com |
| 21 | Add inverted phase version of delay. | Allow to have the delay return the signal with an inverted phase. | This is new | We could make even more interesting flanger and phaser effects | It just extends an existing parameter. | Extend the delay volume to accept negative values. with a negative volume time and the evolver will return the delayed signal with the appropriate volume but with an inverted phase. | zinoff@yahoo.com |
