I did some FFT plots in the high frequency thread over here

Ok, I don't mean to be a killjoy, but v1.32 and v1.40 waldorf pulse plots are exactly the same Sad

I've decided to hold back on my dissing of this new feature for a bit. Especially since I haven't had time to play with it yet (prepping for NAMM the day it came in, and just got back...)

But what was most eye opening to me was someone's comment about spending hours programming a new patch only to have it sound like sh*t.. I have a few of those lying around myself. :') If it can rescue them it will be worth having.

Ok, if all else fails, eye candy rules. While editing a patch with the Mutator open, the DNA worm adjusts in real time. FUN!

Also on a few patches I use alot, I have a feel for what children will be interesting or not based on what the DNA worm looks like, it's very intuitive. It makes very surprising sounds with additive synths and chaos based patches. Chaos can be so touchy to turn many knobs by hand to get attractors that work (much less sound pleasant), but plowing through children quickly makes it fun to find new attractors.

Ok, I just typed "plowing through children." I guess the G in G2 stands for genocide.

i think the 1.40 sounds much transparent than 1.32. i am very pleased with this, more than a few new models good. Very Happy

Cannonball · Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 5:52 am Post subject:

It's interesting to read everyone's opinions of the mutator. I've found it very useful for getting good results from patches which I don't find particularly intuitive or easy to program myself. I've had some good results so far on FM patches and also on Tim's additive synth patch posted a year or so ago - very nice pads and textures. I've also managed to generate some very interesting sequences from what started out as semi-random noodles.

I guess it all depends on your approach to synthesis. I've always liked the "found sound" approach whereas some people are obviously more interested in creating and sculpting their own sounds with a set goal in mind.

I was actually still a bit sceptical about this supposed 'enhanced clarity' or whatever it may be. But as I am playing some old patches into my trusty old headphones tonight, I saw ehhh heard the light as well Shocked

It really seems to be more spacious (I even checked my soundcard to see that I had no fx on; though it didn't sound like that), clearer and more 'me likes' Cool

jksuperstar · Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 4:45 pm Post subject:

Hmmm...regarding this whole clarity & improved DSP: I'm reminded of an old cereal commercial, where these kids are trying to get their little brother mike to taste the cereal, and he doesn't like "anything". In the end, "Mike-y Likes it!".

So, whose willing to pass their synth over to Kassen? Smile

I'm sorry but I can't be your guinie(sp?) pig right now. I'm in Canada on a sort of vacation and will only be back in a week. After that I can have a good listen to the difference if need be. I'd be quite curious to hear what caused this difference anyway, could it be another update to those configurable filters in the DAC's?

I had a look at the new stuff at Rob's place already and I have to say I'm not too hot on it myself. Those meta-parameters do make sense for simple substractive synths but considdering how many substractive synths there are out there I personally never saw any point to using the Modulars for that stuff. The recent talk of using the mutator on rithmic paterns instead of on synthesis does sound like it might get interesting but on a broader level I so far think that this implementation of genetic algorithems is overly simplistic and seems to scale badly. Still; it's a revolutionary concept and there are bound to be "childhood illnesses" to it and I'm very much interested in where this sort of thing could go.

Kassen, where in Canada are you, West coast or not?
