That's a fun one! Thanks
ah, this is lovely!

I did discover a little bug in there though; you seem to have missed plugging the [stripnote] into the [mtof], so overlapping notes get really wonky ;)

I'll definitely be using this one in my rig! Cheers. Reminds me a bit of the other ace amxd 'Ferine' by Disconnector.

oh, and the LPG knob probably should be changed, since it fills up the undo buffer.
@Crampe thank you! hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any feedback

@wetterberg thanks for those great bug finds. I fixed the stripnote bug (will post the updated version later).

In regards to the undo buffer, I've hit a bit of a wall. The simplest option is to change Parameter Visiblity to Hidden, but that makes it so the dials are no longer mappable. I saw documentation in forums around using live.remote~, but honestly am not sure how to implement it. Do you have any tips?
The bugs have noticed are the ones mentionned by Wetterberg.
About undo: what about modulating not the dials themselves (I imagine you're talking about the LPG one?), a solution is to modulate the value rather than the dial itself.
It's missing a nice live.banks for Push mapping, I might take a moment and do it if you don't have Push.
I've edited the LPG to bypass the knob and modulate a numbox instead, then sum that with the knob. Seems to be ok so far.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I have the stripnote fix ready, but still haven't been able to figure out this LPG issue.

@Crampe that's a really good idea. I do have a Push 1 so can take a look but feel free to go for it if you have time to get to it before I do.

@hatyn would love to see your solution since this has been giving me a hard time 😅
version 1.1 adds:

* fixed stripnote bug
* Push bank mapping
* "pluck" feature which plucks the fold index with the same shape as the LPG
heres the compressed patch with the lpg fix from before

Looks like a fun unit. Downloaded it.
Great synth @mousecat thanks for sharing.
@hatyn How are we supposed to used this fix? I would love to get the LPG buffer problem fixed, enjoyed the synth but that kills the project workflow.
Btw, thank you for the Push mappings, love it. Would it be possible to fix the undo problem and make the device push 3 standalone compatible?
