how much CPU power is allocated in 1.0 already? or the other way round: how much % is left for additional functionality?

It may be too late for v1.0, but there's always the next update we have to planCA3080 wrote:Hi John,
It may be a bit late for requesting additional functions in Solaris, but I thought I'd try anyway.
So, basically you need 3 outputs from the same LFO, each with different phase start points when retriggering happens (what you called 'syncronized')? Something like LFO 1a, 1b, 1c? Then these would all have to appear in the standard Modulation Source List, given the Solaris structure.CA3080 wrote: According to the specifications Solaris has 5 LFOs. Lately I've thought that this is too few. One use for LFOs that I've played with recently is to simulate string machine type ensemble effects by using fm from 2 LFOs (1 and 6 Hz) for each of 3 oscillators, i.e. in total 6 LFOs. The 1 Hz LFOs are syncronized and phase offset by 120 and 240 degrees. The same applies to the 6 Hz LFOs.
There may be a simpler way to achieve this multiphase LFO modulation. Could two (or all) Solaris LFOs have two extra outputs added with adjustable phase offset for each output? If so, the modulation in my example can be achieved using only two LFOs. /CA3080

Can't you also just set each LFO to the same BPM/MIDI Clock setting for rates? Then they should all be "sync'ed" in frequency (at least, that would be the case in Solaris).CA3080 wrote:In my G2 patch two LFOs are retriggered by a third LFO, i.e. the LFOs are synchronized....
Would that give the same effect? The point is to fm 3 oscillators using modulation signals of the same frequency and with predictable constant phase spread. The classic Solina chorus ensemble uses (for each of two modulation frequencies) a single LFO fed through a phase shift network to derive three sine waves with phase 0, 120 and 240 deg. It is this even phase spread that allows the ensemble effect to sound constantly animated and still not obviously vibrato-like. Also, 6 LFOs would be needed for your approach to work if you use 3 each for 1 Hz and 6 Hz mod.John Bowen wrote:Can't you also just set each LFO to the same BPM/MIDI Clock setting for rates?

That would do the trick, I suppose. How can this be implemented? A delay?John Bowen wrote:I don't know if it will be practical to have 3 outputs, each phased adjusted separately, for the Solaris' LFOs. But how about a processor module that could take an input and move the phase around? Have several of these, and use them to process any of the signals, not just limited to the LFO outputs.

I like the orange better, but I think it will be even better if you put the circle with the wavy lines in the "O" letter in sOlaris.John Bowen wrote:For those who might wonder about these references to a Special Edition (SE) version - here's the graphic I sent out to those who pre-purchased early on, who will be receiving a sort of Special Edition version in appreciation for their early support and patience...matocaster wrote:I agree that orange would be nice on the SE version.
ThreeFingersOfLove wrote:Extra LFOs are definitely a plus and maybe they are not so difficult to implement. For instance, in many PWM pads, you have a triangle LFO modulating one OSC and another LFO with inversed polarity modulating the other OSC. An inverted LFO can be produced by multiplying the frequency of the first LFO with -1. So, maybe it's easy to do.
If the Solaris has a parameter for adjusting the delay before the LFO kicks in, then this can be put to good use, too. If there is provision to display the delay not only in msecs but also in phase, then you can do fancy panning and even quadrature placement of sounds. It's just a matter of providing a second output from the same LFO. I know, I know the speed will be the same, but in the case of quadrature panning there is no need for a second rate.
If Offset is provided for the LFOs then it will be possible to add, for instance, a volume increase to a tremolo with the mod wheel.
Anyway, all of these are suggestions for maybe a future OS.
