    I love phase distortion synths and this one is an awesome "simple" one.
    Built-in modulations (i.e LFO) to any destination would be nice, but dragging LFO around is easy anyway.
    It seems like this device doesn't like changing the number of voices: it's better to type in the number rather than using the knob; and it can Some parameters ranges could benefit a bit of exponential value scaling, to have better control ranges.
    The parameters aren't Push ready but it just needs a quick edit. I could do it if you don't have Push Miunau.
    Anyway, a nice one ;-)

    Thanks Crampe!
    I didn't want to add a LFO to keep the UI as simple as possible right now- might add it later but personally I just use the M4L one.
    Yes I forgot the buggy voice allocation in it seems :) if you refiddle the knobs it should come back, but I'll upload a fixed version soon. Currently it just sends a "voices n" message to the poly~, that's why.
    Good idea on the exponential ranges! Also yes, I don't have a Push, so if you want to help that'd be appreciated!

    Ok, I'll send you an email so you can send me a fixed version for which I'll manage the banks mapping.
