IguanoidWare: Synthedrome

This is a "analogue + digital" software synthesizer. It's developed using VST-i protocol in M$-VC++.NET but the work was not been completed yet. I will describe its structure and some of the work's details specifying the missing or incomplete parts.

There are several modules placed on nine frames:

• 4 Oscillators: having one frame for each one. All these can be optionally Analogue or Spectral. The algorithms used are well optimized for speed and works making a bandlimited waveform generation depending on sampling rate, resulting in a complete digital alias free sound.
  Common controls on both oscillator types are Power, Phase, Volume, Pan, extended pitch control (octave, semitones and fine tuning), a couple of switches to enable note and velocity taken from the midi track, another one to enable picth envelope and a complete set of sliders for a D-ADSR volume envelope.
  • Analogue oscillators have a switch to select main waveform (it can be Square/Pulse wave or Saw/Triangle wave), a symmetry knob to fade from a subwave the other one (ex. square to pulse wave), a cool LCD-style display showing current waveform and a separate D-ADSR symmetry envelope with an amount knob to set its intensity.
  • Spectral, on the other hand, have a big LCD-style display thet can be painted using mouse. It represents the harmonic content (Y-axis) over the time (X-axis). The read speed of graph is faded by a knob. There also is a complete set of "drawing" tools: paint size and pressure, command buttons to draw a sine wave (horizontal first line), clear the display, smooth and squarize (leave only odd harmonics) the drawing. There is, finally, a synch list that disable speed knob making graph read speed synched to the VST host tempo (32/1, 16/1, 8/1, ..., 1/1, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, ..., 1/32)
  There also are three small VU-meters showing levels of output, FM (SM for analog) and AM inputs. All code relative to the oscillators is done, except the pich envelope switch that shold enable the picth D-ADSR envelope that will be on the Main frame, but its coding is not implemented yet. There alse is a performance problem with the coding of the LCD displays... but they are really cool. I will put screenshots as soon as possible...
