Alexander Zolotov has updated SunVox with some new features, modules and bug fixes.
What’s new in version 2.1.2:
- New module Smooth – it attempts to follow the waveform of the incoming signal, smoothing out sharp changes in accordance with the Rise and Fall parameters;
- New modulation types in FMX and Analog Generator (Osc2 modes): min abs, max abs;
- Modulator: additional modulation types (as in FMX and Analog Generator) have been added;
- MetaModule: new options: (see simple_examples/metamodule options 78,79.sunvox)
- 79 – ignore effect 31 (jump to line XXYY) after the last Note OFF; works only if “Play patterns” >= 3;
- 78 – jump to the “RL” pattern after the last Note OFF; works only if “Play patterns” >= 3;
- LFO: improved quality of waveforms “saw”, “triangle” and “random interpolated” (26 bits instead of 15);
- Filter Pro: max value of the Roll-off controller has been raised to 96dB;
- Filter Pro: since version 2.1.2 the Roll-off controller also affects the All-pass filter type; see simple_examples/freq dispersion.sunvox;
- Reverb: improved type of all-pass filter has been added to controller 8 – it has almost no effect on the gain of the original signal frequencies;
- Delay: new controller “Negative feedback” for changing the sign of feedback;
- Delay: new controller “All-pass filter” for switching the module to All-pass mode, where the filter order is the delay length in samples;
- Glide: new controllers “Octave”, “Frequency multiply” and “Frequency divide”;
- MultiCtl: new button “Set” for precise curve modification;
- MultiCtl: new button “+” (next to the controller number) – press it if you want to change multiple controllers within a single module; see simple_examples/multictl.sunvox;
- Pitch Detector: new algorithm – “spectral peak”; it determines the frequency of the loudest harmonic with high accuracy; suitable for signals with pronounced fundamental harmonic;
- Pitch Detector: additional info under the controllers: incoming signal frequency; frequency range; output note frequency;
- Pitch Detector: the maximum detected frequencies for algorithms 1 and 2 are 2000 Hz and 1000 Hz; but these values will double if the following conditions are met: base version >= 2.1.2; LP filter == 0; Alg1-2 Sample rate >= 44100;
- Sampler: new controller “Record” (stop/pause/start recording); see simple_examples/sampler rec automation.sunvox;
- Sample editor: new function “Set the start position” (position at which the sample will start playing);
- Sample editor: new function “Adjust to specified length (without resampling)” (editor menu -> Misc) – allows you to set a note at which the sample will fit exactly into the specified length;
- Sample editor: new functions “Convert to 8/16/32bit” (editor menu -> Misc);
- Sample editor: view settings (in the menu) allow you to set the units (samples, seconds, ticks, etc.) in which the cursor position and selection size will be displayed;
- Sample editor: PLAY (from the cursor position) button has been added;
- Sample editor: improved sample wave display;
- Sample editor: the following parameters have been added to the “Create a new sample” and “Resample” dialogs: interpolation type; length in lines and seconds; “Just crop/extend (no resampling)” option;
- Pattern effect 34: new option 8 has been added – enable it if you need to output 7-bit MIDI controller values, even if the controller is 14-bit (0-31);
- New keyboard shortcuts;
- New modules and examples;
- Full SunVox Library sources are now available, so you can rebuild it (for different platform or with different options) if necessary: https://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/sunvox_lib.php
- Minor improvements, bug fixes, increased stability.
One of the most powerful music creation tools for iOS: modular synth (+AU), MIDI sequencer and tracker.
SunVox is one of the most powerful music creation tools for iOS. It is a small and fast cross-platform modular synthesizer with pattern based sequencer (tracker).
Features include:
- Modular interface.
- Powerful microtonal sequencer.
- Highly optimized synth algorithms.
- Support of 16/24/32bit WAV, AIFF and XI samples.
- XM (FastTracker) and MOD (ProTracker, OctaMED) import.
- Multitrack WAV export.
- MIDI import/export.
- MIDI IN/OUT.
- Mic/Line recording (using the Sampler).
- Audio Unit Extension (AUv3 instrument/effect), Audiobus.
- Generative music features: random selection of notes, random values of controllers, probability effects.
- It’s possible to use SunVox engine in your own applications using the free library for developers.
- It is also available for other systems (see the site).
