ForumsSoftware ← AAlto Mod wheel routing (and polyphony) questions

Hi, I'm currently checking out the demo of AAlto (which looks really interesting and sounds great BTW), but it seems that, when routing a MIDI control change source (Mod Wheel, in this case) to the LFO, I can get it to modulate the LFO Frequency but not the LFO level.

This strikes me as very odd because, as I'm sure you know, in most synths by default the mod wheel controls the intensity, and not the frequency, when mapped to an LFO. I realise that AAlto is not an "average" synth (whatever that may be), but it seems odd that such a fundamental routing destination should be unavailable...or have I just overlooked something here?

Any help appreciated.

Also, I'm sure there must be a good reason, but why the four-voice polyphony limit?

Cheers.

Hi Colin,

You are correct, there is no mod input for LFO level. In hindsight I see this was a bad design decision on my part. I will fix it in an upcoming release.

Aalto 1.0 was much tougher on the CPU and four voice was the maximum I could get out of my own machine. As I optimize Aalto further it's very likely I will increase this limit sometime in the future.

Hi Randy,

Many thanks for your prompt response. In that case I look forward to checking out the updated version. Any idea when that might be?

I'd like to get it out in January sometime, but can't promise.

Understood. Many thanks.

Colin
