There have been two reports on Synth Modular 2 patches in compressed banks are not showing up in the patch browser. Compressed banks are simply .zip folders that the synth should be able to read. They are marked with a "lock" symbol, since they are read-only . However, on some systems it s...

KarmaFX Synth Modular has been updated to version 2.01.

KarmaFX Synth Modular 2 has been updated to build 283. Changes include a critical bugfix for Mac/OSX 11 Big Sur, as well as some minor fixes. See full changelog below.

Looks like GUI output is broken in KarmaFX Synth Modular 1.x and 2.x on Mac/OSX Big Sur 11.2.2. Synth shows a blank window when instantiated, without any error messages. The synth plays sound and is otherwise operational, right click menu works, etc. There are currently no known workarounds. I have ...

Hi, I've had a report of patches not showing up in the v2 patch browser for banks that are read-only (the banks with a lock icon next to them). I'm currently investigating, but have so-far not been able to reproduce this behavior. Therefore, if anyone else has experienced this issue, I would be inte...

Thanks Ufo,

And again, sorry for the slow reply.

I believe this is a bug.
The correct behavior would likely be to retrigger the sample on sequencer restart, even though trigger is disabled, in the case where loop mode is enabled.

Thanks again for reporting this issue!

Hi Ufo,

So sorry for taking so long.

This bug should be fixed in Build 280.

Thanks again for reporting it.

Hi ufo, Thanks for reporting the issue. True. What you are describing, is how it should work. But first, I want to make sure if you are talking about sustain loop or regular loop (forward, pingpong, backward) ? For me, when I disable trigger or load a patch with disabled trigger, it loops continuous...

Thanks. I will take a look and get back to you.

Awesome, ufo!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Henrik! Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear about this issue. You are absolutely right. If they don't work in 1.20, they most likely won't work in 2.0 either. Are you sure you mean 0.97/0.98 versions? These are extremely old. Like 15 years or so. I any case, I think I would have a hard...

Thanks Kosh. Good point.
I will be sure to update the FAQ and the terms when the time comes.

Hi ufo.

Thanks for the kind words and for the bug report!
You are right. That is a bug. I will look into it.

Thank you again for reporting it.

Sure, Koshdukai.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Perhaps I'm missing something?
Please send me a pm or email me.

Thanks again.

Hi Koshdukai! Thanks for getting in touch and for your comments. There is only one upgrade offer. And that is the time limited offer, which is exclusive for registered v1.x users. After that, the synth is full price. The synth has had a more-or-less fixed price since 2007, so price adjustment is par...

All registered users should now have been notified and have received their exclusive-upgrade-offer.
If not, please don't hesitate to get in touch through email, forum or facebook.

This is a major announcement : KarmaFX is releasing KarmaFX Synth Modular 2 !

Resolved over facebook, by getting latest build 6467.
Duplicate bug https://karmafx.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=954

Hi! Thanks for reporting this error!!! Please, can you double check that you are running latest build 6467? It is shown in the aboutbox. The first few patches you mention are using Zolzer filter, so if you are running an older build I could imagine that this issue: [FIXED] 1.20 (windows 64bit): Zolz...

Thanks Koshdukai! Glad it worked.

Also thanks for reporting this issue! Much appreciated!

Hello, New build is up. Please verify, when you get time, by downloading the latest build and reinstalling. Build number in aboutbox should read 6467. I've updated the changelog with postfixes: Postfix: Zolzer filter could blow-up for samplerates above 44.1kHz. Fixed in Build 6467. (Thanks Koshdukai...

Hi Koshdukai,
I have repro'ed fine in 48kHz.

I also have a fix for it.
I will do a new build ASAP. I'll let you know when it's ready.

Ah thanks for clearing that up.
That would explain why I couldn't repro.

I will try in 48kHz, and get back to you.

Hi Koshdukai! Thanks for the bug report.

How so "lose sound" ?

I just tried the patch, but cannot repro in Win/64 bit.
Can you explain what you do exactly?

Thanks.

Something like this?! https://karmafx.net/gifs/shaper.png I opted for using the existing ADSR style envelope editing UI (almost square like you suggested), with a Curve and Bias option. This means the ramp can have many control points, but also means that the output might alias. However, this is rar...

no problem. I'm glad it worked. And no worries, this setup is not exactly intuitive.

Ortseam wrote: ↑09 Mar 2019 00:20 The only remaining wish of mine now is to have 'INV' checkbox also for MidiData module to have a possibility to setup it the same way.

Good point! I've added it to the list.
Thanks!!

Yes, exactly. Try setting the ADSR in this mode: https://karmafx.net/gifs/ADSRCapture.PNG That is, bipolar off, inv on, out all the way down (negative), produces this output: https://karmafx.net/gifs/ADSRCapture2.PNG Hence it is not bipolar, but it does produce the wanted envelope, no? Again, sorry ...

Yes, I think the FM synthesis part is in need of some work. As you probably know, aliasing is a real pain with FM, so simply upping the range is problematic, unless of course you are into the aliasing "sound", as the FM overtones or sidebands then quickly reach the nyquist limit. Now, sinc...

Ah. I see (maybe).
EDIT: So can the "invert" option not fix this issue?
i.e. that should flip the envelope, so it is centered in "off" state ?
Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

I Agree. FM and the FM range is something that will be reworked in a future release.

Cool! I will get you a beta.

I think the main reason for this decision is more historical, and because it made sense for amp envelopes. However, you can easily invert it by turning the out slider on the ADSR (or any modulator for that matter) all the way down, and that will switch the ADSR to run in unipolar 0..1 range. Not sur...

BTW: Also, while I see why you would want to use the HFO for making a kick drum, an alternative way is to use a regular Osc1, set to Sine, and then modulate its frequency using an envelope. The Osc should not have the same issue with low frequencies as the HFO. All the kicks in the psy-kick bank for...

Hi Ortseam, Because the HFO is high frequency, it has some built-in antialiasing. Unfortunatly, this has some problems in the low frequency area, mainly due to precision. I think that might be what you are seing in the plot. Also, for this reason I upped the precision in 1.20: Bugfix: Internal Osc u...

Hi Ortseam!! So glad you are using the synth. Love all the cool feedback. :D Actually, you are correct. It is a bug, and part of the bugfixes in 1.20 is: Bugfix: HFO rate could not go below 44Hz in FM Mode. Fixed. However, I believe this fix was only for FM mode. Is that correct or did I miss someth...

Thanks so much Ortseam! Some good points indeed. "polarity" was just meant to be a smooth inverter knob. So basically amplify by -1 to 1. But I agree with your comments. It might make more sense with a pre/post amplifier settings too, like the fruity one. I'll think about the square UI thi...

Yeah..I've reproed the bug. Also found the offending line in the code. So looks like this fix will be in v1.20. :lol: That code was pretty old. So I'm surprised that this has gone unnoticed for so long.:oops: The code was unique for mono/legato modes. So just to be sure, you did not encounter this i...

Currently the best way is still upload your work to a download/sharing site and then post links to your patch banks or individual patches here. Alternatively, You can send complete patch banks to me by email, and I will add them to the stuff section. I'm extremely sorry for the slow reply btw. I com...

PS: Sounds like you might also need a "Rectifier" module to do the flute thing? If so please let me know, and perhaps point me to what you are using? Thanks.
