Wow! This topic has really progressed while I was away.
I’ve read all the posts and it’s left me a bit overwhelmed at what I might be able to contribute at this point. Just picking on a few things I read…
Cross-host fxp and fxb presets: I’m convinced that I read somewhere the format was unique to the host/plugin but I accept I got this wrong, so sorry for any confusion. It’s just unique to the plugin.
Share my wave sequencing etc.: Yes of course. Anyone can use any of my work however they wish, even to make their fame and fortune!
Naming preset parameters: This is indeed a bit of a slog but well worth doing if you like one or more of Mr Brown’s synths. I should mention another aspect of the FS preset system which I originally found confusing. If you don’t have unique names the parameters seem to be addressed in the order in which they were added to the schematic and this makes the preset system within FS appear to work correctly. However, if you delete and then add say a new knob its access goes to the back of the order when re-loading a preset. This then means you would have to re-make every preset again. Another reason why unique naming is critical, certainly during development. The user guide and component reference manuals are very limited in this and many other respects. Part of the fun is finding stuff out!
Step sequencers: I’ve attached a few Synthmaker ones with some FSMs I converted a while ago. They may be useful but the guy to ask is nix I believe.
Random generator/Source of uncertainty: Someone here, maybe me, could design this but we need a specification, output traces or something to go on like I found with the wave folder thingy.
Ring modulation: This is probably the easiest of all things to achieve in FS/SM. You just use a stream multiply prim and put a wave into each input. The output is then one input multiplied by the other and it works fine.
Synthmaker: Once Flowstone was established, DSPR put up the final version of Synthmaker Pro for free on the old Synthmaker site and fortunately I have it and you can get it here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7zzn252ss591a ... 5.zip?dl=0No key is needed and it’s the full version with no restrictions. If DSPR ask me to remove this link I will comply of course, but I see it as promoting Flowstone which has many advantages. I did a test install on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC and it worked fine.
If there are any more points or queries or help needed please just say.
OFF TOPIC: Mr Brown, I’d be fascinated to see some of your painting! Is there a website or could you put up one or two images?
Cheers
