Tips, Tricks and "Secret" Functions!

LFO fun

These are for a Mac keyboard:

• Shift + mouse drag on a tension point: adjusts all the tension points asymmetrically
• Shift + Option(Alt) + mouse drag on a tension point: adjusts all the tension points symmetrically
• Shift + double mouse click on a tension point: resets all points back to linear

(via the discord server)

Plus (not shown in the GIF):

• Command: temporarily activates the “paint brush” for drawing

Thanks a lot!

This also works in WT editor with Line Source.

Clear search boxes

on the mac with small buetooth keyboard the “esc” (on the keyboard) works i.e.: clears the entry in the wavetable search and presetbrowser search (LFO search does not work)

Split pitch wheel range

You could use a remap curve ( in the mid matrix) ad set your bipolar pitch bend value.

Different unison modes

Also if you click and drag on the unison graphic (underneath the “UNISON” label) on the main page voice page you can change the spacing of the unison which covers some of the modes you want i think.

Synced LFOs - continuous animation

ok, sending note on with 0 velo does nothing. note on with velo 1 is full volume. but if you connect velo to osc volume it works.

Envelopes triggered by modulators going over a threshold

I have worked out how to trigger envelopes (assuming you don’t want to wait more than 4 seconds into the note for it to trigger). Set that Envelope’s delay to maximum (I.e. 4 seconds), and map your triggering variable to modulate that back down to zero. Then draw a Mod Remap curve that’s basically a flat line at zero to the threshold, and max afterwards. The Envelope will be in a wait state until the threshold is hit, then will start. You can also do this with LFOs, and I think it works bett…

Is there any way to modify the crossover points? Assuming not, but would be great if you could…

[andrew_a]

I don’t believe there is. You could post a request in the feature request category.

on the second osc modulation knob (where fm is) when a mode from sync to pulse is choosen, there apears “Distortion Phase Slider”.

didn´t see other people use this much, probably it´s easy to overlook.

[vcvr]

you can connect MIDI to switch on/off a lot of stuff.

for example: osc, smp, filter, legato, fx modules (stuff in fx modules f.e. delay modes), modulation and stero in matrix, note track and unison stack in advanced.

probably usefull for live play.

as english is not my native language i´m not sure if i understand everything correctly.

tried to rebuild this, when you decrese delay time (with macro) threshold goes down?

for pads or what kind of sounds you use this stuff? share some pls

[magnus]

Here’s a patch that randomly triggers envelopes. More a proof of concept than something actually useful, but I guess you could find some use for it.Random Triggers.vital (170.6 KB)

Thanks, the concept of the threshold is interesting.

if you set an lfo to freeze and map the threshold to lfo speed, it does not auto trigger after 4 sec like with env delay. when you use the threshold on pressure mod and set lfo to sync you can trigger multiple times. but it get stuck when you release pressure at the wrong time.

this is what i tried so far.

hey how’s it going dudes, i’m still fairly new to sound design but i still wanted to contribute to making presets for the community n stuffs… feed back would be greatly appreciated.

and if you guys do use my sounds i’d love to hear what you did with them!!

[vcvr]

@kal thanks for sharing. hope i find some time to check them soon.

there is a special thread for preset sharing.

Hi, my first patch - just kind of a copy of another Synth Signature patch. WelcomeStrings.vital (170.4 KB) Hope you like it.

we are trying to a write community manual. would be nice if some join in and add just one or two simple things.

@vcvr oh my bad dude! i was kinda half asleep when i posted the lil pack on here… i didnt notice i was on the incorrect thread.

[vcvr]

no problem

With:

Alt & Click you can move the points and they won’t snap to the grid
