Is that 5 instances of Synclavier AUv3? Or are you using 5 tracks from 1 instance? Looks to be 16 parts timbral per instance.
edit-Actually, the Tracks page isn't available in the AU, so no multimbrality. There are 12 timbres in 1 instance.
Also, it appears that imported Soundfiles (samples) only work in the first instance?
Ten instances of Synclavier AUv3 in AUM on an Air2
Thanks @Fruitbat1919
Unless those are the red buttons on the $300 hardware knob, I think it would need the Fine control buttons as well (+1000 +100...). Some of the parameters need fine control.
I’m going to be doing a Live Stream this evening at 8.00pm UK Time demoing the new updated AUv3 Synclavier Go.
They sent me the Knob too, so you can see that in action.
The Knob is exactly the same as the original, and only has one control, the big Knob.
The Knob is spring loaded and is capable of ultra fine control, very slow increments if you only slightly move it, the more you turn it, the faster it will respond, exactly like the original.
Please don’t expect a full in-depth programming tutorial for this synth, I’m still learning the basics, but I have created some very cool patches from scratch just by layering, then changing certain parameters of the synth.
What is nice about this is that once you have a sound you like, then add some delay and/or reverb or whatever it just gets spectacular, doesn’t quite sound like anything else.
Another thing I found is that once I did start to to try and have a go at actually programming (I use that word loosely😂) I really enjoyed it and found it very rewarding to actually change the sound, so whereas in my previous videos for the App I’ve done what I normally do and just run the presets in tonight’s stream I’ll spend more time tweaking the patches too.
But to be honest I only started to do that once they had sent me the Knob, which makes life easier when programming the synth.
Adding to what Doug wrote: the Knob's response is automatically set to optimal scaling for the parameter you're going to tweak.
That's what makes it such an essential accessory, or rather... part of the engine.
That would be helpful with the FM parameters, as it can get grungy pretty quickly without +1/-1 fine control.
Thanks, looking forward to @thesoundtestroom video.
Spent the last 2 hours learning about 5% of it. This is going to be a top one for me.
Awesome, I'll try to tune in!
It was the lack of AUv3 that initially held me back so a good demo of the AUv3 in action will likely make me get it...
Should be pretty good for ambient and experimental music especially when getting into the frames thing to create more evolving sounds
(With the user waveform/sample support it could even be used to mash up beats'n'stuff).
If I wasn’t saving for a new iPad, I would get one of these and have my Air 2 as a Synclavier!
I loaded a breakbeat, but the frames page is grayed out? I'll have to find a manual.
Is anyone using this with an mpe controller? Is it easy to map interesting effects to slide, aftertouch etc?
Could it be that the frames only apply to FM parameters and not samples?
Why do I need this? Magellan 2 seems to have it all
These summarize all my thoughts.
Magellan is a great subtractive synth, but Synclavier is a great additive synth. Yep, you can add instances of a subtractive synth together to make the sort of sounds additive does well. You can also stick a filter after additive sound, but Synclavier is more than just the sum of its parts.
I'll watch @thesoundtestroom 's live feed later today and make my decision tomorrow wether I'll get it or not
(I suspect I'll end up getting it anyway, sucker for classic sounds).
Vintage sounds and auv3 == instabuy
Here is my Live Steam for the Synclavier Go from last night
I see a ton of possibility now. Is there the way to share presets? I do not think yet. However, the synth capabilities are better then I expected. Samples are an important enrichment in effect. But I am having problem with auv3. I got missing sample even if I stored in iCloud workspace folder.
Hm. Like many here the Synclavier used to be the holy grail for me. I am also a fan of additive synthesis. Unfortunately, all the sound examples I’ve heard so far sound rather sterile and uninspiring, compared to, say, Addicitve Pro. 🤔
The pocket version is quite fun to play with, I've loaded it up into AB and then added FX in AUM, you can edit the timbres and there's enough variety to at least get to know it. Also there was a little rumour/slip of the write up in one of the recent articles about interesting upcoming iPhone news on it, I know nothing more but seemed interesting...
How much for The Knob, Doctor?
Anyone knows how to apply velocity to samples?
roughly $300 iirc...
I Am Not A Doctor (1st Moloko Album I bought) scnr
Ah, thanks. I was figuring/dreaming something between 50 and 75......another small dream put on hold
What if anything different happens if you load single cycle waveforms into an additive synth?
RESPECT!
There's a Velocity button in the lower right module - 'Timbre and Keyboard Effects'.
Tap and Hold Velocity, tap a destination. Tap the destination again for inverse. Tap again to remove it.
Thanks! I discovered it yesterday night in standalone mode since in auv3 reduced window isn’t so clear. However, I must say that it’s pretty straightforward as modulation. I’m starting to appreciate it. If it will become a percentage of the Arturia version it would be amazing.
No problem. Just yesterday I figured out how to load additional timbres to each of the 12 partials, for layered sounds. Also playing around with frames for morphing sounds. It's a beast, definitely not plug-n-play.
Resynthesizing samples would be welcome, but Virtual ANS is easy for that.
Pair this with FAC Alteza and prepare to be lost in time
I didn't get past preset 1-8 Bold English Horn thru Alteza's Init preset and whoops there went 45 minutes easily...
