hmm not sure yet, maybe something specific to this chip?
actually think it's just saying ADSR for each voice
That's what I thought too. But are there different voices? I thought it said something in the blurb about how this is different from the original soundcard in that it only has two oscillators, doesn't have channels. So I'm not sure what these 9 channels would be. At the moment, I think it is just decoration and doesn't do something, though will be glad to be corrected by those more wise, as always.
It's just an indication of which one of the voices is active

Yeah could well be just decoration, would be interested in any other info.
This is the free VST the synth has been forked from https://bsutherland.github.io/JuceOPLVSTi/
pretty identical I think, maybe there's some info there.
Slightly OT but I'd love this one as an AUv3 as well (it's an open source juce project).

I purchased this one this weekend based on the praise here. Very fun and interesting and sort of hits the spot for me (quickly) that a full on FM synth does not. KQ Dixie, for instance, is just unwieldly to my brain.
I do wish that the preset name in use was displayed somewhere onscreen.
Yes, that’s an annoying omission. I asked the dev to add this, they say they will in a future update, probably no harm in adding your voice to that too though.
oh boy... the bassdrum i get from this puppy... it eats through carpets ..new fav for thuuump
New update finally lets you see the name of the preset you’re currently playing 👌
@kinkujin
Are you using the 'percussion' modes?
It's not super obvious how the operators interact when they are used so it's a good source for 'happy accidents'

Nice thanks!
Just picked this up in the sale.
Superb sounds, loving the presets and really nice GUI.
A bit different to a lot of the other iOS synths and easily worth the £3.99
Definitely, I love these sounds
Here's my walkthrough on OPL and also the Schroeder reverb
+1 was totally going to skip this but @Gavinski's excellent walk through convinced me to grab it. Loving the sounds!
Great update!
Excellent news!
Update! Easier to scroll presets now..
Where’s the midi settings? I want to receive on a channel other than 1….
Revisiting this again for the first time in ages. Wow, it sounds great, but I can’t figure out for the life of me how to change mono presets to poly and vice versa. Go for example to the WIND presets. Chose the first one. Then scroll through the next ones with the arrows. You can see the first 3 are mono, the 4th is poly - but how to actually program this in?
Percussion section. X = poly, all others are mono.
Didn’t know that, thanks!
Ah thanks!
Agreed it’s a fantastic app and very unique on iOS. I need to use it more often.
I still keep thinking about building an old PC just to host an opl card, there are USB thing available but I can’t see a way to make them particularly MIDI friendly. An old PC is probably a nightmare too far though, even for me😅
Actually, turns out the synth is poly with no mono mode
Yeah you’re right, the drum thing just does something weird to the sound. Something about the sound though is really good.
