The default values for all KB Track parameters should be 1:1 / ~8192
LFO1/2 KB Track: Default value is 0
Filter KB Track: Default value is 4096
Envelopes KB Track: Default value is 0
Wave 1 default is 6025
Wave 2 default is 5337
…is this on purpose?
An advanced solution for the Waveform defaults could be to use Alt-Click to alternately switch between the pure saw and pure symmetric rectangle positions.
Filter vel amount: default is 2048
Amp vel amount: default is 4096
…are these on purpose?
Mixer OSC defaults:
OSC1: default is 8192
Sub Osc: default is 0
OSC2: default is 0
Since the “0” value is always easy to reach, i would prefer all mixer osc defaults to be 8192 like OSC1.
First, the origin of the values used for editor defaults is the Sub 37 “Init Preset”. It’s quite possible that some of these values are not ideal for initializing the editor; for example the KB Tracking for LFOs is zero on this preset (Init preset doesn’t have keyboard-tracking LFOs). Calling up an “Init Preset” is a bit different in practice than “setting the default value for a specific control”.
Indeed if double-clicking on any KB Tracking parameter, I’d probably rather it snap to 1:1.
Regarding the oscillators… the slightly-different default Wave values are intentional, again with respect to the Init preset… these values were adjusted by ear (on one unit) to sound nice, and ever-so-slightly different from one another. These values aren’t intended to correspond exactly to an ideal waveform. In fact the numerical value corresponding exactly to the most-perfect sawtooth or square wave may be slightly different unit to unit (although not by a lot).
Mixer level: 8192 is just “halfway” – this again is not necessarily an ideal signal level. In fact by the halfway point, the mixer may already be starting to saturate/overdrive the filter, making the oscillator sound warmer and tubbier than it would if it wasn’t driven… for “pure” sounds, I get better results with the mixer set lower (between 2 and 3 on the knob).
Thanks very much for the feedback; we’ll discuss the possibility of changes here… at minimum it seems setting all the KB Track settings to 1:1 on double-click would be quite useful…
