I miss the immediacy of that! What would you suggest as a shortcut to Mini on the One?
I made a set of saw, and shark presets that were pre-gain staged. Now if I start with one of those, the interface is nearly identical and just as immediate. And, the sound is more open and "buzzy" than the stock init.
I can't remember every tweak, but it's mostly overcoming the odd setup of the main init patch. However, I made a copies so that I have an SVF version, series and parallel version of each.
Osc 1 mixer to full (it's not in the init)
Osc 1 waveshape to full saw (it's not quite in the init)
Filter full Open (it's not in the default)
VCA full Open (it's not in the default)
Sustain on Amp and Filter EG full open and all others full closed (it's not in the default)
EG to Filters full open (it's not in the default)
Set Synth 1 to mono (it's not in the default)
Set EG attacks to 50% Log ... this needs to be messed with quite a bit, but log on the attack seems more "correct" to me.
Those are the main ones. I did a few other little things. But really the stock init patch is like a dialed back platform for Poly use. By just opening things up and starting from a more aggressive "D" vibe I was able to get mono synth sounds that had a more familiar feel much faster. But, it is NOT a great starting point for poly sounds.
Here's an opinion on poly ... go find any great non-piano-ish (clav etc..) "poly" sound and you will find that it is swamped in chorus or phaser. I get absolutely fabulous poly sounds if you I use good external effects. I think another issue folks are having with the One from a poly standpoint is they are expecting the JP and Juno experience just turning on the chorus for the instant OHHH YEAHHHH BABY. The internal chorus just doesn't do that magic thing. However, sending out to my MF-103 with a spring reverb and OOOOHHH YEEEAAAH BABY!!!! Unfortunatley the only tri-chorus I have is a plugin ... so waiting for that B clone Juno Chorus
