    @sinosoidal i got a question. how do i back up my presets ? I prefer to back up my custom made presets offline but all i see is cloud saving. talking about the windows VST.

    We need to add that feature. It's an old request and after doing some two extra banks, I would say it is a very important feature. What you guys are expecting as users?

    • Import/Export a single patch as a file?
    • Import/Export bank as a file?
    • ...

    Please share your thoughts and needs so we can have a better idea of what is needed.

  • I too only recently realised how good drc is, the subtle variation you get when playing a repeated note or simple arp sounds very organic.

    On a very tangential note: has anyone worked out a way to sequence drc on android, from something like caustic or sunvox? it seems a shame to have the best standalone synth on android just sitting there...

    both would be nice actually. hopefully the IOS version gets the ability too.

  • Crept past my radar, just downloaded it and the last hour or so has been very enjoyable.

    The subtly evolving stuff is very well done, it definitely has bite when needed.

    But I don't need another synth ... but maybe just one more. :smiley:

    Best randomisers in my opinion:

    Addictive Pro
    WaveMapper
    PhaseMaker

    Import / export of banks is more important to myself than individual sounds (quick and easy to back up my own sound banks). Without this I rarely bother to program a synth to any degree, as losing banks of sounds hurts!

    Email of a bank save is my preferred type, as this is then easy to save to any storage.

    Apps that only use iTunes are ignored completely and sent to a special place in Hell ;)

  • @sinosoidal

    I would go so far as to say, without a good bank save to my Google Drive (via email), I will pretty much not use a synth app beyond the occasional dabble. Without a good solid bank save, its heartbreak city to program hundreds of sounds and then lose them :'(

    +1, iCloud Drive/iOS-DocumentPicker is the proper way to go here.
    If that's not applicable 'Open In...'(aka. iOS ShareSheet) for Import/Export will do.
    (This allows easy backups using 'AirDrop'(between devices) or saving to other file-management apps).

    This would make many users happy, easy export to/from AudioShare, DropBox, iCloudDrive, Box etc :)

    Have you tried Magellan's randomiser ?
    You can choose to randomize pads,leads,bass,weirdness controlled with sliders. It's great.

    Agreed, Magellan is a gem.

  • Just getting started with DRC, but so impressed already. Some brilliant ideas everywhere. I'm generally a sucker for skeumorphic UIs, but this modern UI is so well done. The sliders/dials are perfectly scaled, a joy to operate, especially if your go to analog synth was the Odyssei before...

    This doesn't only sound great, it is kinda the most modern and "customer" friendly synth. A beautiful patch browser, a trial functionality...great job.

    And that sound...Love it!

    No, admit I have not tried it. I will admit to not really having given Magellan much use really.....for no particular reason beyond the UI is not a favourite of mine

  • I think Crystal XT has a great randomizer where you can even specify the parent sounds to get new offspring! :# :o

    Agree. The UI is not the best part and also a difficult one for tweaking, but the randomiser creates so many nice results you don't need to tweak it at all to create some good presets.

    Is everyone making tons of presets on DRC?
    Anyone interested in a randomizer feature?

    Nope, i think "randomizer" features defeat the purpose of synthesizers...What i'd love to see added to DRC would be a nice compressor!

    Well i guess everybody has their own process in regards to sound design. I think synthesizers have to be learned, explored, mastered and not randomized...

    Btw, has anyone ever seen a randomizer feature on a good hardware synth? I haven't so far...

    What's this "hardware" of which you speak? ;)

  • If you have tons of time for programming then yeah I agree. For me, imho, I barely have time. So although having an awesome UI to explore and learn is awesome, but having a great intelligent randomizer makes preset making a joy, fun and rewarding experience for me, agin IMHO.

    Like let's say Addictive Pro Synth, I use the awesome randomizer in it almost every single time I use the synth, and I've come up with some amazing presets that I further tweak as i go. This to me, is one of the main reasons why I go back to this synth as my main work horse. Again this is just my process. That's why I asked, if everyone was making tons of presets cause no one seemed interested in an intelligent randomizer of the most commonly used settings to create new presets.

    Raises both hands................................................

    A simple randomiser can easily create patches that create empty or really confusing and noisy sounds. We want to do something more intelligent. Our problem is just one. Too many tasks for a single programmer. It takes time! :tired_face:

    What are the best randomisers you have seen around? Can you name the apps?

    Hand down the most creative use of randomization is Seek Beats. It allows control of it all and spring back function.

    A very good question in a thread about this synth. I actually can't believe what i'm hearing. ON u-he Diva there is a preset "I can't believe it's not analog". I think that to myself all the time hearing this synth just now.

    Is this the new number 1?

    I think sound design is an essential part of one's creativity. And the brain/mind whatever can only handle so much sonic input. I know of musicians, that don't listen to any music in months when they are working on a new album. Hitting randomize and evaluating, adjusting actually takes time and energy too.

    I think synth sounds have to develop organically. You have to take the synth where YOU wanna go, not the other way around.

    It's kinda juvenile tho. In my opinion.

  • Like all forms of art there is a push and pull between the medium and the artist. The medium acts a certain unpredictable way and the artist responds and uses this as a point of departure.

    randomization is good at facilitating these points of departure. Also, its funny that this thread is becoming "the generative fallacy part 2.
