- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-
- Notes: sending a clipping signal (> 0db) into some filter algorithms can cause artifacts.
-
- Instructions:
- -to install, put in psycle plugins folder
- -remember to delete or overwrite old one
- -refresh the list in psycle if you want correct version number to appear
-
- Faq:
- 1.
- <bohan> pooplog, are songs made with previous versions of your synth
- series compatible with new ones ?
- <pooplog> yes
- <pooplog> i make a point NOT to disturb the file format, at all costs
-
- 2.
- <AlkCapone> phase selecting
- <pooplog> command 2xyy
- <pooplog> x is oscilator #
- <pooplog> yy is waveform phase - check the built in docs, all oscilators and
- lfo phases can be set manually
-
- 3.
- <AlkCapone> poop: can you put delay on the OSC W lfo depth?
- <pooplog> yes turn the very top knob
- <pooplog> env type
- <pooplog> it is 3 different routings for the envelope
- <pooplog> all of the dadsr+lfos have them

- BUG LIST
-
- TODO LIST
-
- - add tremolo track commands like the vib commands?
- - have been told that 03xx command rate is bad, that it is slow until 03f2 or so
- - adjust the 04xx command, make depths non-linear, so 041a is between 040a and 041a now
- - could optimize more filters by removing from filter_struct and inlining with track struct
- - optimize antialias code some more
- - add morphing chipsynth sync version
- - delays on vib and trem have been requested... add more knobs or don't add more knobs?
- - add syncs to things other than lfos (adsr, porta, inertia, etc.)?
- - synth is hardcoded to 44.1khz, should i make it flexible?
- - sampler thinks i should make filters go to 0hz, but that throws ranges out of whack and probably blows up some algorithms
