Supports .tun files, additive synthesis, resynthesis, morphing...

Greetings,

This seems interesting. Can anyone comment on its effectiveness?

Excuse my ignorance, but does .tun support mean microtonal capacity? I think so, but would be glad to be corrected.

All best wishes,

Its a great synth, definitely worth it at half price. I bought it at full price and still think its great :)

The one feature i think is missing which would make it better for microtonal work is that you cant fix a particular tuning and then change the preset. The tuning is carried with the preset. A bit unfortunate but not a disaster.

> Excuse my ignorance, but does .tun support mean microtonal capacity? Yes, you can generate .tun files from scala. Its not as straightforward as it could be, but it works. I think there is also a big pack of .tun files you can get from camel audio. A .tun file just contains a mapping from input midi note numbers into fractional midi note numbers, also all the .tun files I have seen have 2 parts where the second is the same mapping but with higher precision.

It's in the docs somewhere, basically you do a "set synth ##" to something (can't remember the number - Rick McG?) and then export the scale in that format (I *think* it appends .tun). Manuel also showed me a swell batch command - type one command on a directory that is all .scl files, and it will convert each and everyone to .tun in one fell swoop. Or one swell foop, I can't remember which it is.

If you ever need that last batch command, let me know, I have it written down _somewhere_...

Jon

In the Edit menu...

Edit -> Options...

Go to the User Options panel. Look for "Synthesizer Tuning Options" and
set it to 112 "Tun format for softsynths..."

Then File menu...

File -> Export synth tuning...

and in the panel that comes up, choose pulldown to save as ".tun" file.
Auto appends the .tun.

Cameleon 5K is an awesome synth. I've used it, and spoken with
the developer at some length.
