That would be great if possible! I’m pretty sure it’s always beneficial to sales when a synth is opened up to sound design sharing among the community.
Yes! Would love patches from you guys @Spidericemidas & @richardyot !! I always find a good patch in your banks! I back up preset bank sharing 😎
hi - and congrats for the nice sounding synth - I just had a quick play - but it seemed to have a very musical „sound“ to me - like it.
Anyway - just one thought after the first impression -
Can you make the keyboard inside the Auv3-version an option for the user to blend in or out -
For me - while using it inside AUM - it´s just a waste of space and an irritation for my eyes - since I will anyway work with the Keyboard inside of AUM ... Or an external keyboard ...
Would be great !
Noted. Thanks again for all the feedback!
@Bon_Tempi Noted. Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely. Patch/sound sharing give these apps a life long after the initial sale.
👍 Noted. All the features may not come in at once but definitely committed to making patch sharing as easy as possible. Will start with "multiple patches import/export" first (that's the lowest hanging fruit at the moment) then move to add "user-created banks" and "bank import/export".
Best of luck! 🤞😊
Really enjoying this synth!
It would be awesome if you could morph between shapes to have some more wave forms... slide over and between the current shapes to the sometimes In between/ morphed
This pop up would be perfect for it
Great!
@reasOne Glad you like the synth, and thanks for the feedback.
Hi! @AutumnRock
I feel it would be a good idea to have an 'Init' patch where all the modulation routings and effects etc are empty?
I know double-tap can be used to remove/adjust modulation routings.
That same dialogue could be used to 'reset' a parameter to 'Init'.
When designing a patch, keep the 'onscreen keyboard' active to allow auditioning the sound while tweaking the modulation depths. I guess I could use an external app/controller but since the app already has a on-screen keyboard I prefer to use that one.
What about Increasing the pitch modulation depth from +/-12 to a much wider range (+/-36-48?) which is handy for kick drums, 'zaps' and the percussive elements. (+/-48 in the engine is needed anyway in case MPE support is planned).
If possible allow a wider speed-range for the LFO(100Hz?)
(That is if the audio-engine is designed for audio-rate modulation).
The increased modulation range and eventual new parameters would require an overhaul of the existing presets though...
There's some nasty 'clicks' when voice-stealing happens and it's not CPU related.
Most likely it's the envelopes restarting and abrupt level changes that cause these.
The best way to describe it is to use the default patch Evolving Oscillation and run the finger rapidly across the scree back and forth. One can clearly hear the 'clicks'.
I like the design of the synth and it sounds nice!
Sorry if the tone is bit harsh but when I find something I like I usually get straight to the point without 'sugar coating'
Cheers!

@Samu great ideas!
👍🏼 For init patch
👍🏼 For pitch (definitely need min. -/+ 24
Thanks again @Samu! Those are all excellent feedback!
For modulation, I am thinking about building a dedicated window showing all the active modulation assignments. So people don't need to double click on every knob to see them. There you can do things like resetting an entire knob, changing settings while playing on the keyboard.
Changing the min-max range of an existing knob is tricky. As you said, it will affect existing patches, but for the pitch knob what I could do is adding an additional octave param for each OSC. So you can get a wider range that way.
and yes, the voice stealing needs some tweaking. I will look into that.
Well, In that case the the knobs would have to be 'linked' when applying modulation no?
Let's say I wanted to make a quick 'zap sweep' from C4 to C1 the knobs would have to be linked and 1>0 would cover the entire range?
The modulation matrix panel would be a nice feature and add further modulation options.
ie. a modulation slot could control the amount of another modulation slot.
Think of these as 'modulation macros' one parameter controls multiple parameters and the range of each parameter is adjustable. For example one 'Macro Knob' could increase the pitch of oscillator 1 and at the same time decrease the pitch of oscillator 2 and adjust the noise level and filter cutoff etc. etc. Call the 'performance knobs'
It's easy to fall into feature-creep and make the app too complex...
...so if the ideas are 'too out there' ignore them and stick to the initial vision of the synth.
Cheers!
@Samu Ah, I see what you meant, then in the case of creating a 4 octaves wide pitch modulation, an additional octave shift parameter/knob won't work, you would still be limited by the range of the pitch knob. I was thinking about using it as a way to create a bigger octave doubling.
Yes, definitely need to be careful about feature-creep. For all the UX improvements (sharing bank, a new global mod page), it's less of an issue, but anything that touches the core synth engine can potentially backfire. That said, I am still open to suggestions. Even if it doesn't fit here in Shaper, they can still be something worth considering for future projects.
Any news?
I am currently working on an update for Shaper based on all the feedback received so far, and it should be out later this summer.
Anyone still using this? I think this and NLog are the only 2 big VA synths I don’t have (and Krill by GSI). Anything that sets them apart? Seems like pretty standard affair but both sound GREAT in demos.
Shaper has GREAT envelope controls and stuff is super easy to route/copy paste
Does it make sounds that you can’t get anywhere else - it depends on how hard you try with either the target synth and this one
I like it most for long evolving pads
This synth Mitosis, layr, and continua (and naive … misc others) are great for it
An I always forget about Continua. So make that 3 I don’t have 😂 I love Quanta though. And yeah Layr is amazing as well but it can be painfully slow to dive deep into though.
Shaper is just one of many iOS/iPadOS-only apps I'd like to see make their way to macOS.
Just seen this has gone on sale. Does it do anything unique? Are the presets good?
It is very easy to route lfo/env to different knobs in Shaper, and it allows you to draw the lfo graphs however you like. As others have said, Shaper is really good for making slowly evolving pads.
It’s a very good synth, but it is less advanced than many of its competitors these days. Not too many presets either, if that’s a point of consideration.
Thanks. I bought it after seeing how flexible the modulation is. I like that sort of thing.
I did the same. Loving it so far, I was coming up with some wild stuff last night.
