    even if I can't always explain exactly how it's doing what it's doing.

    i submitted a new version to the app store yesterday which includes a reworked algorithm ui (examples below). hopefully this makes it easier to understand what's going on.

    That looks like it might be an improvement on the current layout.

    It might be just me but I found ID700 to sound not appealing to me – it’s mostly thin, or at least I found it difficult to get it to sound chunky or thick or powerful.

    Some people have a strong attachment to chunky, thick sounds, some don't. I personally don't. Interesting is more my personal thing to look for. If I was trying to make something like The Prodigy or Chemical Brothers or whatever, yes I would definitely want phat.

    Oddly I don’t think it’s anything to do with the synth’s synthesis capabilities – they’re excellent. It’s as if at the end of it all, after the output as it were, it goes through a pipe or channel which limits the oomph of it all, making it all sound a little less strengthy than I estimated it should.

    I don’t think that’s the case, I think it is a matter of figuring out the architecture and how to make “phat” sounds. A lot of architectures make it simple or are even geared in that direction.

    True, but a] FM is my bag, I’m at home on FM, ever since the 80s when I bought my first commercial and non-home-made synth which was the Yamaha CX5m (and later an SFG-05 FM module upgrade for it, and later an FB01 to add to it); secondly, 2) I wasn’t particularly referring to “phat” sounds (why do they mis-spell it with a ‘ph’? There was already an ‘f’ there doing the same job, what do people expect the redundant ‘f’ to do now, sit at home gardening?) it was pretty much any sound – it all sounded like it had a specific transform, as if it had ‘come through’ something and lost energy along the way, even the “phat” sounds in the presets. Maybe that’s a good thing after all, they’d sit in a mix and still give the impression of a “ph (fuckit, where’s that ‘f’) “fat” sound, but not dominate or be hard to balance without it disappearing suddenly. Maybe that’s how all synths used for proper many-part music and not solitary noodling should be.

  • What annoys me more, quite frankly, is the many iOS synths which contain some presets that immediately send the master dB level into the red, and can't be safely used without a limiter.

    Doesn't just turning the volume down do the job for auditioning patches? I don't want an extra, probably worse than Pro-L, limiter needing to be turned off when used as an auv3. Maybe only having in standalone it could be a okay compromise?

    Sure, but it shouldn't be necessary, should it?

    How does this happen even? Talk about getting a beginner off on the wrong foot wondering why their new app is clipping or songs are immediately in the red, or plain annoying a veteran.

    It feels like things have gotten better but it’s still not safe out there.

    Also this is not an ID700 bash. I played with it today and didn’t encounter that problem with it.

    I've never heard a preset that would need limiting unless randomizing is involved, on any synth i own. Which ones does this?

    Virsyn synths. I love them but they're too loud. Click through some Teraverb presets in AUM while feeding midi in, especially polyphonic stuff, and you'll see what I'm saying is true. Just one example.... There are many more but this is the first that comes to mind.

    But how would you know WHEN to turn the volume down for certain overly loud patches if auditioning a bunch of presets you haven't heard before??

    Most will be within acceptable limits, which you'd set your most comfortable volume for. You don't know what's coming up next in the list if you're going through presets for the first time. If the next one is a very loud one, you won't know until it's too late, and the comfortable volume setting you had for the preceeding patches will suddenly blast your ears, speakers or headphones out.

    Everything to do with sound and sound-generating products has to be mixed and produced and set at a safe, suitable and consistent level. Nobody should be constantly fiddling with and adjusting the volume knob on anything whilst listening through a sound pack or patch bank. If you do, then something has not been produced correctly or adequately. Goes for music, synth patches, anything that produces sound. Each sound should be recorded or programmed and checked first to be at safe and consistent levels.

    Consistent is the key word. Even if a bank is consistently loud, at least you know what to expect. At least your main volume setting will be set accordingly and you won't suffer any nasty surprises.
    Without consistency, then you end up with nasty and potentially damaging surprises and have to keep adjusting your main volume too late after the event, which is simply daft. A Limiter would be the sensible and practical answer to anything with inconsistent and unpredicatable volume output.
