wavelength devices

wavelength · Post by **wavelength** » Tue Jan 06, 2004 3:28 am

Hi again,

I noticed that there have been a few newbie postings of late! This is great, of course, and I just wanted to say that I am still around and have decided to leave my bundle pricing available for an extended period, as this has proved (by far) the most popular way to buy my stuff.

Please check out my stuff, if you are new to the platform, as you will find my synths are quite different from (and hopefully complimentary to) what is offered from CreamWare, John Bowen, etc...

I am also curious as to how much interest there is still out there for new third party development for SFP (???). I am still playing with some FM-synthesis ideas, but feel uncertain about what the desire-factor is for this kind of thing.

Cheers,

Stephen

I recently purchased the Wavelenght combo pack. I feel it's excellant value for the money..... try them out....... Stephen, the FM synth idea sounds great... perhaps a selectable 4op/6op synth with a way to either keep it at hi-resolution or a way to bit-crush down to the grainy 10-bit output of say the dx100/200. Warm and clean or grainy and dirty. The inclusion of a warm 12/24db lp filter and a hp 6/12db series filter would be great too

Stephen, if CW were to die just now, I'll continue to buy your devices !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to submit some many 20 $ when available for your previous awesome devices but they were gone like the link to contribute !!

I guess you got pissed by everybody ( including me ) downloading the whole package without submitting a fee and you just deleted the whole thing ?

Sad, but I understand ... but, also it limits the genetic pool of CW related devices.

With Avalon Euro I had several very severe Blue Screen of Death on XP ... I don't know who's responsible but I was so addicted I kept reloading anyway, an another synth would have been swiftly deleted !!

You can forgive everything to classics.

A very happy camper here with SparC and Uberplastic.

I'll surely buy your next device

So I hope you'll keep going somehow for a bunch of passionnates !

Well Stephen - it seems that whatever synth design you lay your hands on - there's a great (and usable!) device leaving the process

I'm convinced you'd even get new aspects out of FM, so it might be a good idea to release it as long as the 80s are still hip.

Since I have the Yamaha TX7 and recently added a Casio VZ8, I'd strongly vote for including that PhaseDistortion stuff.
You already used it in the Gemini series - yeah, I was lucky to license that for 20 bucks

Since the FM and PD synths are frequently compared due to basic sound character - I admit I was mighty impressed by the vivid and full waveforms of the Casio.

I'm certain you'll come up with something usefull !

cheers, Tom

ps: decimator, I can reliably crash the Avalon when I fm-modulate the filter by the random waveform and put it's control on the modwheel.
After thinking about the mathematical nonsense of that operation I accepted it as is

I use Thrust and Mutant all the time - and will be buying the bundle once I have taken hold of my post Christmas finances. I am especially impressed by the SparC - great variety. Please please keep up the good work! I would be interested in an easy to use FM synth, if you can keep the screen real-estate to a manageable amount

I forgot - the LoFi is a classic!! Wonderful for those spacey, airy arpeggios with high resonance and velocity-sensitive filtering.

wow! such kind words.

i really love building devices so i hope i can make some time to get my FM project done.

Oh thanks for the tip Astroman !!!
I will tweak carefully from now on, the crashes didn't happen on Stephen's presets, only when I started making new ones ...

Go ahead Stephen, I think it's already sold for many of us !

And I really love FreakMod, those FM-AM combos can produce freaky results ( of course ! )

yeah, i still use the FreakMod too, but it is cumbersome to use, to some degree (with all the pop-up surfaces) and doesn't have some of the features i am now thinking about implementing.

Indeed the " layered " windows system save GUI's space.
Whatever your plans, I hope you'll keep the keyscaling feature especially with the offset : none of the VSTi's I have, got this offset !

I like using those scaling windows and toying with the KF offset button, vital like a LFO ...
I'll be bugging ReD_MuZe about it while I'am at it !

Is it possible still to buy the Plasma?

i downloaded it, enjoyed it , but 4 dsp wasn't enough to run it alongside anything else, so i deleted it.

19 dsp now, i wouldn't mind trying it again
