I did discover a little bug in there though; you seem to have missed plugging the [stripnote] into the [mtof], so overlapping notes get really wonky ;)
I'll definitely be using this one in my rig! Cheers. Reminds me a bit of the other ace amxd 'Ferine' by Disconnector.
@wetterberg thanks for those great bug finds. I fixed the stripnote bug (will post the updated version later).
In regards to the undo buffer, I've hit a bit of a wall. The simplest option is to change Parameter Visiblity to Hidden, but that makes it so the dials are no longer mappable. I saw documentation in forums around using live.remote~, but honestly am not sure how to implement it. Do you have any tips?
About undo: what about modulating not the dials themselves (I imagine you're talking about the LPG one?), a solution is to modulate the value rather than the dial itself.
It's missing a nice live.banks for Push mapping, I might take a moment and do it if you don't have Push.
@Crampe that's a really good idea. I do have a Push 1 so can take a look but feel free to go for it if you have time to get to it before I do.
@hatyn would love to see your solution since this has been giving me a hard time 😅
* fixed stripnote bug
* Push bank mapping
* "pluck" feature which plucks the fold index with the same shape as the LPG

@hatyn How are we supposed to used this fix? I would love to get the LPG buffer problem fixed, enjoyed the synth but that kills the project workflow.
