Hi Dave,

The one part of the code that is incredibly complex (at least for the monkeys in my head) is the EG's. The third EG I am making some progress with working out it's behavior but I had put that on the back burner simply because I was making such great progress on everything else. Yes, eventually we will most likely have a fourth EG to work with and perhaps even a fifth. I really want those extra EG's for exactly your reason as well as unhooking the noise generator from EG3. The noise generator really needs its own LFO and EG. However, I can't focus on any of that right now because a) it's going to take a lot of time to work out how Korg does their EG's and b) I have to finish up the features developed so far and package up the kit and documentation etc so that people can start buying the kit.

We're out of luck with the detune because it is done in hardware. However, I think a way forward with that would be a hardware mod that duplicates the master clock and then provide MG with more LFO's etc to modulate both the DCO1 and DCO2 master clocks separately. That way, you get separate bend, MG, detune etc on both DCO1 and DCO2 (whereas right now DCO2 is a slaved clock off of DCO1's master). But once again, that is just going to have to wait until we get all of this other stuff out of the way first.

Hello, Mike

 

Maybe this is pushing the envelòpe (pun intended) a little too far, but... given the fact that additional EGs are probably on their way... could there be a way to implement some sort of EG to the DCO's pitch, in the light of the accomplished feat of portamento? Or maybe, assigning EG to a specific LFo, so that we could have initial pitch up/down on DCOs for a determined amount of time, in order to create detuned attacks?

 

Also, I also wished for a "2.5" detune setting between 2 and 3... 3 is way detuned, but 2 could use some more detuning...

 

just a wild thought...

Subject: [korgpolyex] Arpeggiator MIDI out - yes, of course

Hi Atom,

I will definitely be ensuring that the arpeggiator can send MIDI out. User selectable of course.

cool.. and since not everyone has a k5000, maybe you can have the option
of sending the arpegiated notes to MIDI out...?
