Description
valence is a single oscillator monophonic synth with some interesting sound shaping qualities.
UPDATE: 2015-09-23
/ improved envelope exponents - much more responsive now
/ fixed an error with the second filter cutoff exponent value
/ collapsed the sub oscillator into a single control - still all the same functionality, just easier for push integration
/ improved the push and automap functionality. there are now four banks of controls - each of the "blocks" represents a bank, more or less.
features:
/ four oscillator modes:
- saw (with two additional detuned saw waves via "shape")*
- pulse (pulse width modified via "shape")
- triangle ("shape" transforms it into a saw gradually)
- triangle + ("shape" adds two additional harmonics)
* the saw OSC has a built in LFO, and thus, the LFO is not routed to "shape" in this mode.
/ "square" is a square waveshaper
/ a flexible sub oscillator:
- can be tuned to -1 or -2 octaves, or down a forth or fifth
- selectable sine or square wave
/ harmonic FM controls via "harm" (harmonic factor) and "bright" (amount). the sub osc is unaffected by this - it directly modifies the incoming frequency pre-OSC
/ a bitcrusher via "resamp" and "quant"
/ a pre-filter gain control. keep it around -30 in most cases. cranking it will overdrive the signal into the filter.
/ serial-arranged SVF filters - filter A feeds into filter B.
/ amp and a filter envelope. the envelope triggering is assigned to BOTH envelopes.
/ two LFOs. routing is in the lower right portion of the LFO controls (you can route to filter A cutoff, filter B cutoff, and the oscillator shape).
have fun, and let me know if you encounter any errors, or see anything can could be improved.
