Device Overview
| Name/Version: | valence 1.1 |  |
| Author: | disconnector | |
| Description: | valence is a single oscillator monophonic synth with some interesting sound shaping qualities. UPDATE: 2015-09-23 / improved envelope exponents - much more responsive now / fixed an error with the second filter cutoff exponent value / collapsed the sub oscillator into a single control - still all the same functionality, just easier for push integration / improved the push and automap functionality. there are now four banks of controls - each of the "blocks" represents a bank, more or less. features: / four oscillator modes: - saw (with two additional detuned saw waves via "shape")* - pulse (pulse width modified via "shape") - triangle ("shape" transforms it into a saw gradually) - triangle + ("shape" adds two additional harmonics) * the saw OSC has a built in LFO, and thus, the LFO is not routed to "shape" in this mode. / "square" is a square waveshaper / a flexible sub oscillator: - can be tuned to -1 or -2 octaves, or down a forth or fifth - selectable sine or square wave / harmonic FM controls via "harm" (harmonic factor) and "bright" (amount). the sub osc is unaffected by this - it directly modifies the incoming frequency pre-OSC / a bitcrusher via "resamp" and "quant" / a pre-filter gain control. keep it around -30 in most cases. cranking it will overdrive the signal into the filter. / serial-arranged SVF filters - filter A feeds into filter B. / amp and a filter envelope. the envelope triggering is assigned to BOTH envelopes. / two LFOs. routing is in the lower right portion of the LFO controls (you can route to filter A cutoff, filter B cutoff, and the oscillator shape). have fun, and let me know if you encounter any errors, or see anything can could be improved. |

| Hmm, maybe I didn't implement it correctly? A fair number of dials have exponent values, but I'll admit they were assigned based on my personal tastes. I did just notice that I have different exponent values for the cutoffs (missed that in QA) - 4 and 3. The decays and cutoffs have an exponent of 2, and the LFO freq rates 2.666. If there are values that are a bit more standard, or preferable, let me know. |

| yeah, it's mainly the adsrs - anyway, something that I feel really helps the playability of the synth a lot. Just something to consider, I guess - trying to give constructive criticism is difficult when the amxd is just so good :D btw, I've been using Ferine as our main synth in my group for a while along with Aalto :) great fun. |

| gotcha. well, drop me a line here joshua.schnable@gmail.com - you've given invaluable feedback on my previous work, and, great to hear you're getting some good use out of Ferine! |

I'd like to recommend adding an exponent to a lot of the dials, primarily the time and pitch/frequency related ones. The adsrs in particular are difficult to adjust without it.
