  First of all, thanks for sharing this one, I really like it, a lot of potential, and the sounds you can achieve with a the filtering and the LFO is really nice and crystal clear!
  I think the design which is more of a detail, or aesthetic question, could get improved I think. I really like the original for a reference here. I think Clavia have a kind of simplicity and aesthetic that is very comforting and inviting, that's one thing I love about their synths apart from the great sound of course.
  So looking at the original, I would go way more minimalistic in design, for example, use a dark gray lower background, that will fill the gaps between modules, and the lighter gray that will be the background of each module, and if at all, red, I would only use it as a tiny frame around the whole structure and/or replace the Sand color you used with red. I would try to make each section so that it's clearly defined. Again looking at the Original User Library „Electric from AAS“ sort of has that look, except for the red.
  I could try to draw something or put something together to give a better idea of what I’m trying to say.
  Another thing, which is also only aesthetic, is the frames that get generated around selected elements, overlaps the design, It would be very cool if those would all sit in nicely. Meaning a hell lot of fiddling and resizing. But again those are only design related but still would make for a much better look, feel and user-friendliness I imagine.

  Hey thanks for the detailed review of the interface Anivia!
  I did actually originally have much less red in the design, and I don't really like that much red in the design either. I will focus on more simplicity and nicer colours in the next update of the design :)
  If you want to sketch a design I would love to check it out!
  Thanks

  like it bunches. if you're willing to put in the work, look into pattr with the bindto attribute and the parent::(scripting-name) syntax as its name. Putting them in a subpatcher with a send and receive combo can make things a lot easier to look at, with other uses. I'm particularly curious how you're envelope is being pushed into poly after seeing the sustain patch, kudos on keeping things in max without msp for so long.

  Nice, thanks for sharing !
• happytosh · October 22 2014
  Thanks for the tips Monetus! I'm not sure that I understand all you are saying, but I will look into it when I can :)
  (I'm pretty much learning Max on my own as I'm making this, so no wonder if some of my patching is strange or even plain bad :P)

  I just uploaded the beta version of my synth if you would like to see how I organized the UI without patch cords
• happytosh · October 25 2014

  I absolutely love this synth! Would be even cooler with a noise generator ;)
• happytosh · June 18 2015
  Thanks! I will see what I can do about that! I have an idea of a cool way to implement it :)

  Here is a link to Nerd Electro Lite Beta. It has added noise-generator and some other improvements!
