Bugs
Sumu is crashing when i try to import partial folder.
There is weird behaviour with the scroll wheel when scrolling through partials & pre-sets (works in reverse).
I sometimes get a black box in the top left of the gui & the partial image.
Issues
Clicking on the GUi quite often bring up a popup 'licence is up to date' or 'version number' 'pre-sets' it quite intrusive when i just want to move the gui around.
I'm really not a fan of these pop up windows for pre-sets & partials. The [ ] to change pre-set's can be tricky to use & i often get the pop up instead.
A way to lock the voices would be very useful instead of having to set it to 8 on every pre-set change.
Vutu
Importing samples is slow going as you have to navigate to sample folder, import sample (no way to audition the sample before import) resample it then export it & navigate to export folder. Then when you go to import a new sample it starts you off in the place exported rather than the sample import folder.
Its like using software from the 90s.
I bought this software on the idea it was capable of resynthesis as its advertised but was surprised that you have to use a seperate app. Are there any plans to have this integrated into Sumu?
Hi, sorry your post got buried—feel free to hit me up via support @ madronalabs any time.
I appreciate the feedback. I know importing partials is super clunky. Part of this is for legal reasons: the Loris software that I use to do the analysis is under a GPL license and would require that my entire synthesizer be open source, if I were to incorporate it. I have plans to address this in the future and make the workflow much better.
You mention some Vutu things I can definitely improve. The '90s are hip again but I can definitely do better on some workflow things.
At some point I plan to add parameter locks which would take care of the voices issue.
People have different ideas about which way is "correct" for scrolling. There's a setting in the main "..." -> GUI -> normal / reverse.
I hope you are enjoying the sounds, please stay tuned and I will work to improve other things about the software.
