My first thought is to implement controllers 91 to 93, which are already
MIDI
defined as effects 1 to 3 depth (wet/dry?). As we only have three effects
per
part available at any one time, this should be applied to whatever effect
has
actually been used in Yoshi's respective slots.

Also, as far as I am aware, Mod wheel only affects frequency modulation
(vibrato). It would be rather nice to have a controller for amplitude
modulation
(tremolo). Controller number 3 is undefined so maybe that would be a good
one to
use.

Will, pardon my thickness but I'm not on such intimate terms with the
instrument
internals as you. On those rare occasions when we meet, we still politely
address
each other as Mr.

So by "amplitude modulation (tremolo)", are you referring to Mr. Amplitude
LFO in
ADsynth Global Params? Tweakable frequency and depth might offer tasteful
application. There's a Mr Amplitude in ADsynth Globals, and a Mr Amplitude in
ADsynth Voice Params, but they both present as fairly uninteresting
encounters.
Dunno.

cheers. Cal


Hmmm.
Both AdSynth and PadSynth have 'overall' Amplitude LFO (which is what I think
of as tremolo) - I wonder why SubSynth doesn't have it - The LFO amplitude would
be a direct match to the modulation depth control which handles the degree of
frequency deviation (vibrato).

When using both of these in the real world (guitar amps and analog synths) I've
often wanted to change the depth of both of these dynamically, but *never*
wanted to change the LFO speed. I've always set that at the start. Also I can't
see me ever wanting to change the LFO on individual voice parameters in AdSynth.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
