Icarus / Re: Waveform Preview
« Last post by Markus Krause on April 25, 2024, 08:26:30 AM »
When the wavetable editor is open and you hit a mini keyboard Icarus plays the wavetable and not the current wavetable. The SPEED slider defines how fast the morph is. This behaviour is intended and very useful for sound design.
If you want to pre-listen to a single waveform you can easily use you mouse with the blue on-screen keyboard on the top left.

Not sure here. We had no other user experiencing this durig the last decade.
But most likely yes. Your screen could be too tiny. Or it could be caused by your screen scaling setting in Windows. Setting this to 100% could help.

Any comment on triggering individual waveforms in a wavetable from a midi controller? This is the way things work in other Wavetable synths such as DUNE 3.

The waveform that has focus is the one that is sounding when notes are played from a midi keyboard. In Icarus 3 only the first waveform in a table can be played from a midi controller no matter what waveform has focus.

Hate to be the pest from Budapest, but regarding my initial question.
 "In Electra 3, in the Custom wave selction pop out window, it seems i  cannot see the  bottom 2 wavs in each maxed out row. Of course it is possible to reach these hidden wavs via scrolling in the osc itself, but wondered if there was a way. I have tried different GUI sizes and two different DAWs, but to no avail. "

Do you think this is due to my monitor resolution?

■ Play mode selector
Play mode sets the number of voices (and how they are handled) available to the current patch and
how Icarus reacts to you playing your keyboard controller. It can be set to Monophonic, legato and
several Polyphonic modes. Having lower setngs will use less CPU, more will increase CPU load but
may be needed for certain patches to sound well (no voices being cut of or unnatural sustains)

◦ Monophonic - This mode sets the polyphony to 1 note
(monophonic) which mimics the way the classic analogue
synthesizers of the past behaved.

◦ Legato new - The punchy sounding Legato new is suitable for
modern music.
When you play a key, no gliding will occur ? the oscillators will
immediately play the new note. As soon as you release the second
key the oscillators will glide.
The glide knob controls the glide speed of the oscillators. If you set
the Retrig (Re-trigger) option for the Envelopes to of, the
Envelopes will also be re-triggered when you release a key.

◦ Legato Classic - This is a classic Legato. When you play the frst key
no gliding will occur. As soon as you press another key the
oscillators will glide.
The glide knob controls the glide speed of the oscillators. If you set the Retrig (Re-trigger) option for
the Envelopes to of, the Envelopes will also be re-triggered when you release a key.

◦ Polyphonic 1-64 - These are Polyphonic play-modes similar to what you know from
conventional synthesizers.
The number represents the number of voices that are available. When this limit is reached
the engine sofly fades out voices without any clicks. If you use unison (2X or 4X), the
number of voices is automatically multiplied by 2 or 4. This way voice management is taken
care of for you automatically. In most cases 6 or 8 voices will sufce.
Should you notice that the CPU usage is too high you can reduce the number of voices or
switch of any oscillator unison options.
The glide knob controls the glide speed of the oscillators. In Polyphonic mode polyphonic
gliding is supported. Gliding always occurs if the glide knob is set to a value larger than 0.

Didn't think of being in Monophonic for that but yes, it works! Of note: this particular use of Glide is the only one I don't see mentioned in the manual (again, Icarus 2, might have been fixed since).

That leaves me with one case I can't reproduce : glides that happen with notes touching each other (one ends, another one begins at the same time -- no gap), but without needing overlap.
I have some VSTs that have legato work like this but I don't have enough experience to know if this is to be expected, or just an implementation choice of legato.

A wavetable consists of 2 or up to 256 waveforms.

In Electra3 you can:
- Play back custom waveforms
- Import custom waveforms
- Play back the built-in wavetables

In Icarus you can:
- Play back custom waveforms
- Import custom waveforms
- Play back wavetables
- Import custom wavetables
- Edit wavetables

Best Regards,
Markus

Ya, I have the Icarus version right before the new one and I love the wavetable editor. Sadly i bought Icarus a few months before the cutoff date to get the new version. I will most likely get the new version but am strapped for cash at the moment and wife says no...lol I also own Gladiator 3.1.0, the latest Electra 3 , Saurus 4,  and Icarus 2.5.3 respectively.  Still checking out the demo versions of Nemesis and Ray Blaster as Tone2 has become my go to synths 90 percent of the time.

One question I had was regarding the patch browser which on my computer cuts off the last two entries , probably due perhaps to my shit fuck old computer and monitor.  Is there a solution? Like I said I can just scroll though them but would be nice to see as well.  The other was regarding loading wavetables and storing them in the browser like i can in Icarus.  Is this possible?
Cheers...Papa D?m Tek

Hello Moni,

Yes. This is possible.

1) Init a new patch

2) On the top left change Polyphonic 12 to Monophonic

3) Change the Glide knob to a value around 60%

Best Regards,
Markus

Icarus / Icarus 2 - Gliding notes
« Last post by Moni on April 22, 2024, 08:50:27 PM »
Is there a way to make Icarus 2 glide from note to note no matter what, instead of (seemingly) requiring notes to overlap?

And is there a way for the glide to only happen with overlap OR when notes are right next to each other?

So far, I've only managed to trigger gliding when notes overlap.
