LP OS3?

Sigh. Is hokay. No-one else seems to care much, judging by previous threads.

So it goes.



Bad news.
That would have been one of the most useful changes of them all.
Really.
:frowning:

Is it so important as that?

OK, I’ll see what I can do. Pardon the slight additional delay…

:slight_smile:

Ah, so no glide on legato in this update? Pity, i was really hoping for that one.

eheh each one want a specific feature added (it’s normal xD :mrgreen: )


+1 for glide on legato …phatty sound is absolutely GREAT for bass sound, and this is a very useful feature for that kind of sounds. If it will be possible, i could say only: AWESOME! :smiley:

Ok, thanks.
Many features are “great fun” and “nice to have”, but LFO retrigger would be “really useful” together with tap tempo. Especially for live performance.

Assar, I added Legato Glide to begin with…

after much effort to condense and make extra code space, I have 10 bytes remaining.
I’ll see how much code it takes to add the LFO reset feature… it may be a difficult choice.

I have more room on some types of Phatty than others…

for example, Tribute Edition could probably get both features (LFO reset on key press, and Legato Glide).
Stage Edition would have to choose.

first of all, thanks for bringing us a new OS and continuing development of our beloved LP’s.

Here’s my thought on dealing with limited memory-space.

how about making two OS version and make users decide which one to install:

One with the alternative scales and what more fits in, as this is almost done in the first place.

Another without the alternative scales (as I guess many will never use it) and instead with all kinds of functions possible in the freed space. legato glide, lfo reset, maybe the step sequencer that was once proposed or a programmable arp so we can make our own 16 step basslines?

So the choice does not have to be between legato glide and lfo reset but a ‘with alternative scales’ or ‘with other goodies’. And one could always just load the other OS if needed anyway!

+1 for lfo reset on note press (but not if legato!) :slight_smile:

one could imitate legato glide by switching glide on - off, or playing with the knob.

thanks Amos, you are fast !

@Amos “…after much effort to condense and make extra code space, I have 10 bytes remaining.

Would there be enough room to add an option to turn off MIDI CC being sent to other synths (so if I had a Slim Phatty or Virus hooked up via DIN, only MIDI notes would be triggered by the Phatty)?

I have to keep looking all throughout the code for wasted space, or try to re-write functions to do the same thing more efficiently… the more I optimize, the harder it gets to make more additional space. :slight_smile:

For example, I found that the function which converts frequency to MIDI notes for display is almost 900 bytes.

Just now I managed to reduce it by 273 bytes without changing its functionality.

So, I now have that much room in which to implement new features.
Is it enough to add LFO reset and an option to disable CC output? Maybe.
I’ll try to be very efficient, and to keep looking for ways to optimize.
Sooner than later, though, there really won’t be room for anything else.

LFO Reset on keypress and Auto (legato) Glide are implemented for all versions (Slim, Stage Edition, Tribute Edition).
LFO Reset has two modes, ON (always reset on all notes) and AUTO (don’t reset the LFO on legato notes).

This is AWESOME! You are a genius amos…thank you!!! :smiley:

Awesome! LFO reset is a great feature. I love how this sounds on ARP synths. So, thank you for bringing it to the Phatty series. On the weekend even.

… wow, Amos is giving 400% to LP owners in trying to literally please everyone who chimed in on this topic. You just don’t see that from other companies, really. Looking forward to the OS when it’s ready. And those alternate scales don’t have to be just for world music… I use my LP with a pipe organ, and sometimes the tuning of some organs is not equal-tempered. A minor tweak to the scale tuning would be the king’s biscuit. thanks! - jgirv

really a good news !!

What can I say …? I’m really impressed!
And the two modes of LFO retrigger … I never thought of. But of course, it’s obvious when you think of it.

All my thumbs up, Amos!

Ok, so are these new features still going into the 3.0.4 version? So it is not done after all? O’well, the LFO reset does sound pretty useful..

Let us know if there’s anything us humble forumites can do to speed up the eventual release! The wait is becoming agonizing :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: :slight_smile:

can’t thank you enough Amos!

Sunday morning update: first pass of Volume velocity response is working on Stage & Slim Phatty.
Still to do:
1)multiple levels of sensitivity for volume velocity (currently is all or nothing)
2)implement on Tribute (which uses different hardware; can’t use the same DAC output for volume control as the Stage).

Also on the Stage edition, there’s a small click audible when you go from a very high velocity (high output) to a very low velocity (low output) on the next note. It’s the sound of the VCA closing instantaneously, and may be unavoidable on this hardware. I’l see if I can minimize it by adjusting the timing of various DAC updates.

(edit: ha! Silly me. That small click may have been the volume envelope attack being set to zero.)
