SunVox inches closer to the stratosphere with another update
And by stratosphere I mean that of Mars, not Earth. The SunVox journey takes you there.
1.9.1 brings us a new Glide module. Slap it onto another module and your notes now glide. There's also advanced interpolation, which is really cool, and also really advanced and a bit of a mystery to me at the moment with all it's options. In short you can now guide interpolation beyond just a linear route.
Confused by what I'm saying? So am I! But you start to talk like this when you travel to Mars.
Like every SunVox update there are a few other things too. One other thing that stood out is when viewing a sample it now displays the cursor value for the two offset effects, making it easier to enter precision sample offset values. If you've been following along, you'll see this is a clever feature and very useful.
I think that's all from the latest update at least. When on Mars you tend to lose track of things.

Yeah another fine update! I'm hoping the next things on the list are a midi module and a step sequencer module of some kind would be great....
thanks for the heads up! I really have to spend more time with SunVox. great dev, great app and an incredible history of updates.
@1P18: I read that there is no stratosphere on Mars.
Not yet. NASA is teaming with SunVox to make it happen in SunVox 2.0.
Fortunately the SunVox manual is kept up to date, and can even be downloaded as a PDF (link is towards the top of the page).
For those wondering what the interpolator is, it fills in values on the pattern timeline so that you don't have to enter them yourself. Just enter the starting and ending values on lines where you want the changes to take place, select those lines, then choose interpolate from the menu.
The new advanced version on the interpolator is explained in the manual.
Roughly speaking, interpolation is the equivalent of automation. So for example you want a filter cutoff to interpolate/automate from one value to another within a pattern, you enter the values along the timeline, and this is where the interpolator assists you with that.
If all that sounds intimidating, the best stuff I've come up with in SunVox has been more by chance than anything else. You can of course compose to your heart's desire, but SunVox seems to be really good at delivering happy accidents.
I started on trackers and loved them, I can't seem to gel with sunvox on iOS though. I might download it for Mac/pc and see how I go with it.
Does anyone know if you can open sunvox songs made on a Mac on iOS? Would be a great way to transfer and work on stuff away from the desktop
Yes, both directions
+1 for the midi module. With midi in function I'd just use ModStep to sequence it. That would be amazing. Midi controllers send incoming midi already so shouldn't be far off.
SunVox has MIDI in, just go to the menu in the upper left, then Preferences, then MIDI. It's handy to have in case you just want to use SunVox as a synth and not deal with pattern or song creation.
It also let's you send MIDI out by module. Just double tap on a module and you'll see a MIDI OUT section. Never used that myself though, so I can't really speak on it.
I want to use Sunvox just as a Synth, but I'm a Sunvox newbie. Is their anyway to save my worktop setup? I'm hiding the sequence parts onscreen, but each time I open the patch again the screen has changed. I want to save it so I'm just showing the controls I need.
You can sequence via modstep using the midi in then whichever module you select, eg a synth module receives the midi so you can change module on the fly which is quite fun for jamming...
I didn't know about Midi out by module, interesting...but would be good to have midi in by module as well. Having a dedicated midi module would be great for routing though as ideally I'd like to sequence sunvox multi timbrally with its different synths similtaneously etc as far as I know you can't do that yet....
I don't think there's a way to save the screen setup, but it's really just a matter of sliding one section out of the way. One thing you can do that is somewhat related is set a patch to be the default template, so that you don't have to load a patch each time. This can be done from the main menu.
You can use the MultiSynth module to send notes to multiple modules at once.
@1P18
Thanks for that. I can stop searching for it now
Thanks, I'll take a look at the multi synth. There's no way to assign a different midi channel in to a different module though?
You can send MIDI in to a module's individual properties (volume, etc.) by double tapping that specific property, but as far as I know you can't send note data to different modules.
