module request: oscillator module

Hello,

This is a question and a request to any SDK masters in usine land. Would it be possible to create an oscillator user module for synthesis purposes?

thanks.

Hi,

Did you tried Synthesis Pack by nay-seven update 1.0?

soundmind · Unread post by **soundmind** » 19 Dec 2010, 04:43

yes of course. It is a great pack but it is impossible to experiment with different tunings in a polyphonic way or even to play exact frequencies because they only accept MIDI notes. Of course you could tune using pitch bend data but then you are limited to a monophonic sequence. I think usine would greatly benefit from having some native synthesis modules especially when the upcoming major update will have polyphonic capabilities and will allow for this kind of experimentation if I am not mistaken? Anyway, I am just wondering if it is even possible with the SDK?

yes, i understand your frustration and i remember caco said he will try to do some osc modules, but as often time is the main problem...

that's cool. I didn't know someone has already considered it. Thanks for the info

Yes some modules for synthesis would be a great addition once Usine is polyphonic

As always I am limitied by free time for coding but it is on my to do list for the new year along with many other Usine user modules. I have some commercial projects coming to an end soon so hope to get back to Usine after that.

that sounds great! Please take your time. your work is appreciated.

Hi everybody!

An oscilator module would be incredible indeed, has anyone some time to work on that? I don't know the first clue about code so I feel totaly useless in here...
So my gift list for this really early christmass would be:
-An oscilator module with various waveforms (sine, sawtooth, square and square with unequal high and low durations, triangle, impulse, noise?)
-inlets for :
-frequency (that would allow to make a vibrato)
-amplitude (0 =>1 ?)
-phase (-x => x ?)
-high/low duration ratio for the square waveform

Would that be really hard to make for a total beginner ? Could someone indicate me a good starting point to learn how to make that kind of things?
Any help would be reaaaaally appreciated!
Thanks !

Glad to see your enthusiasm tana !
yes it's a huge work, specially for a newbie, i suppose first step could be to built some simplest module first to learn sdk ( ( About the SDK)
Then you have to find and learn about synthesis theory ( some Curtis Roads books can be a start ) then coffee, and many sleepless nights

Yes I know it won't be easy...
On the theory side it's ok, my problem is more understanding how to make it on the computer...
I guess if I find out how to not need to sleep, that would be a start!
