Two new transient modes (v0.20)

The recent update added 2 special transient modes.

Snappy mode
instead of playing a transient sample, an additional decay EG is applied to the pitch.
Volume controls mod amount, freq the time.
A very fast pitch peak in the beginning can make some sounds more snappy.

Offset mode
First I thought a simple sample of an impulse would be sufficient for good analog style drums, but I was wrong!

In offset mode the transient sample is replaced by a variable start phase for the OSCs.
Volume controls the start phase. "0" = no click, '127' = loud click.  The pitch control has no effect.

This click has much more punch than the 2 click transient samples.

Additionally the soundengine is a little bit rawer when offset mode is selected. In the other modes the amplitude is smoothed a little bit to reduce quantisation noise. While offset mode is selected on the transient page no volume eg smoothing is done at all.

    Really cool features, but i can't hear it on a snare. DOes it apply to the tonal part on the snare voice???

    I have not checked it on the device yet, but I had a quick look at the code and it should also work on the tonal snare osc. It shares the oscillator code with the other voices.

    I will test it once I'm at the LXR again.

    Ok that's why i cant really hear it, i think it would be nice to apply this effect to the tail of the snare, like more on the noise part than on the tonal part, for the snare voice. I missed this snappy features and love it, on the kick it change it slighty so for evolving tracks thats awsome.

    hmmm good point.
    so what would you propose? should snap control noise pitch, tonal pitch, or both?
    just adding it to the noise part or removing it from the tonal part would be easy and quick. adding another parameter to make it selectable that is only visible when the snap transient is selected not so much ;)

    Haha good question, all i know from synthetize drum i learn it on your drummachine so i dont really know. Both sounds good since you can make snare only with tonal part. Please use a way that is easy to implement for you :).
  • erwanoneerwanone
    Ho ok i understand now...you have to put another parameters if it control both? So i think on the noise is better. Or maybe a sort of mix, one paramters apply on the both?
