Title: cents tuning on BOTH oscillators
Post by: statlerw on June 15, 2021, 06:23:58 am
It would be great to have fine tune on both oscillators  - yes you can detune osc 2 continuously, but afaik this is not possible for osc 1.

This means that the option for double detune pretty much doesnt exist - e.g. synchronous +/- detune

Yeah, this really needs to be addressed in upcoming firmware. 

As-is, its difficult to pull off some basic sound design functions in regards to detuning oscillators in various octaves.     A DC mod source addition would be one way to remedy this, plus offer up additional utility for other stuff.   Or optimally, add a DC mod source, plus a direct way to set Osc Octaves / Fine tuning via Osc menu.

Yep, especially since it's VCO2 that has a sub. So if I detune VCO2, my sub is either sharp or flat, which can make a muddy mess in a mix. If anything VCO should have been the quantized oscillator IMO. It's cool that in can do that but there's a reason so many analog synths have continuous tuning!

A workaround is to set a square LFO to the slowest rate and offset the tuning with it, keeps it wherever you set it at for almost half a minute. Positive mod for osc1 and negative for osc2 for equal detuning.

 a setting to keep both vco tune knobs coutinuous would be essential.
And the VCO 2 needs to be able to be continuous even in the +12 +24 settings...
It's a NO GO to me because of me live playing on stage with lot of improv and i can't get this chromatic behavior on the vco knobs...
