Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Re: Modifying SLFO3/4 behavior

If you use sawtooth, it's quite noticeable. Suggest you check out the latest code and see what I mean.

It is possible to improve it further but I won't do so unless people say it would be useful. The phase optionscould be changed from 1-4 to 1-35. Where 1-35 would correspond to 10,20, 30... 330,340,350 degrees. That would give very fine control over the phase starting position. I don't think it's necessary though.

I chose SLFO4 so that altering the parameter positions would be kept to a minimum.

Those parameters you mention  that are not in use were going to be for selecting EG3 or EG4 for control. But, I still haven't reverse engineered and worked out the mathematics of the EG software.

I am still tinkering with the idea of putting a new waveform tone generator into Poly. I think Poly is lacking a good sound generator. So with that in mind, some day, the parameters may have be reordered quite a bit. For now, they seem to work reasonably well.

I think I'd probably find more use for the SLFO4 offset feature than the LFO1 offset.. just me I guess.
The LFO1 seems to be so quick most of the time that I hardly notice where in the phase it is starting..
It's the SLFO's phase startpoint that can drive me nuts.

I thought I might also add that I usually use SLFO3 for slow modulations.. any reason why the offset will only be for SLFO4?  Obviously, if I had a vote, I'd say apply it to SLFO3 :-)

Can't see why not use Extended Param. 78 for the SLFO offset.   I have as yet to use the pedal parameter.


Was the Orig. Parameters 57,58,67,68,77,78 ever used for anything?  Just curious.


thanks for the new feature, it should be really interesting to hear them in action.
I will try to update my custom GUI to accommodate these new features when I can get around to it.
