memorymoon synthesizer
07.07.10 I am leaving for summer holiday, so please dont buy any synths in july. I will try to check webcafes as often as possible. There is a very detailed reiew for Messiah in german language here: Messiah review.
The new Messiah skin by Scott Kane was finished today.

24.05.10 New versions released. I have sent the new versions to registered users ca. 2 months ago. You can still use the download links to get the new "chord" button in memorymoon. Please send me a mail if your instruments have expired. Mailadress is at the bottom of this page.
News in memorymoon 1.7:

This version will never expire.
New skin by Robert Wentz.
Note-on CPU reduced by 18 %.
Envelope retrigger modes changed.
Clicks in filter1 reduced.
Muted 1st note when rendering audio solved.
Fixed problem with soundfont file browser.
Some minor changes in the factory bank.
New chord learn button. How to use it: Press the button, then play a chord for 2 seconds (until it is muted). Then you can play the chord from the keyboard.
News in messiah 1.25 (will be version 1.3 when the new skin is ready)

This version will never expire.
Note-on CPU reduced.
Some new presets in the factory bank.
Crash when uploading 2 instances, and then deleting the 1st instance fixed.
1st note muted when rendering audio fixed.
Envelope retrigger mode changed.
Changes in CC assignments. Some did not work because they are used for LSB messages:
Poly-mod to filter: Was CC63, now CC70
LFO to freq A: Was CC33, now CC61
LFO to freq B: Was cc35, now CC62
LFO to PW A: Was cc37, now cc63
High EQ level: Was cc06, now cc35
Unison osc detune: Was cc98 , now cc29
CC picture and Novation templates updated.
Updates in ME80 version 1.1:

New high-tec skin by Scott Kane. Some users have requested the old "classic" skin, so it is still available. But I recommend the new skin by Scott Kane.
LCD readouts have new grey colour.
Readouts for all performance sliders.
Improved oscillator sound in extreme highs and lows.
Synthline2 detune range increased 100%, touch-responce VCF(LFO) increased 200%.
New slider: After speed (Amount of aftertouch smoothing). It is global, that means that it will not change when you change patch, but it is changed every time you load a new patch or a bank. Because of that it is saved with song in a host.
New smoothing system for ribbon. It goes faster back to original pitch when released, while it is smoothed more than before when bending downwards. It is possible to smooth even more in later versions.
Bugfix: First note could be muted when rendering audio. Fixed.
Bugfix: Crash when uploading 2 instances and then deleting the 1st instance fixed.
New "menu" below patch name makes it possible to load/save patches from the synth`s GUI.
Some new factory patches.

memorymoon:

Memorymoon has 6 voicecards with 3 oscillators, noise oscillator, amp and 2 filters. Settings above 5V in the mixer introduces overdrive.

Features include: 6 voice unison. Osc sync. Many envelope curves. Arpeggiator and trancegate. Hold function. LFO, Voice-LFO, and Delay-time can be synced to host clock or to tapped tempo. You can tap tempo with a sustainpedal or with a button.

There is "voice-card drift" settings for tune, amp, filter cutoff and pulse width. So each voice-card can sound slightly different. It is also possible to play soundfonts and drum-loops in wav-format. This is intended for live performance.

Octave shift button (control section) works in the release period.
Voice card drift pitch2, and f-attack is in the automation list.
Envelope times has exp curves when controlled from external knobs.

Memorymoon version 1.5 released 21.06.09.
New GUI keyboard system developed by Andy Medforth. It saves CPU and loading times. New filter model for filter2. Both filters are now 64 bit. Less CPU. Overall CPU for the synth should be 5-6% faster than the 1.4 version. Cleaner filter sound. And filter2 has improved algorithm for controlling self-oscillation level. Filter2: 6 new modes for FM (audio rate modulation). 3 chain modes and 3 ladder modes. Filter modelling means better distortion and +/- 5% variations in all vital components. Midi learn by right clicking any controls. Stored in patches/banks. Dual core problem solved. New glide system. Works like the original. LCD now shows patch name, and you can click on the name and select patches from a list. And there are arrows to select patch up/down. LCD letters has more red colour. Clicks when changing presets improved. For perfect patch change use the red arrows. And incoming program change from MIDI should work perfect now. Reduced note stealing clicks. 3 hidden voices makes note stealing less audible. Voicecard drift: Independent pitch drift for osc1 and osc2. So the detuning between osc1 and osc2 will be different for each voicecard. New soundfont player with high quality zinc conversion possible. ("CPU" button). New GUI knob and new GUI wheels.

Version 1.4 released 16.11.07. Less CPU in pitch knobs. Less CPU in the midi split system 70% less CPU in the wav player. Possible to erease uploaded sample in wav-player. 2X oversampling in the distortion. High-cut filter (Speaker emulator) in the distortion. Total overhaul of all knobs an buttons for better recall. Some new sounds by me and Peter Werner Faster chorus/phaser. Fixed clicks in phaser. LCD read-readout completed for the whole edit page. A logic fix in the mono/poly system to prevent unison voices in poly mode. Solved loading problem with cutoff in unison mode. New algorithm to control filter2 self oscillation level.

Version 1.3 released 24.06.07. Smoother response from cutoff, resonance, filter contour, master-volume and pitch knob, GUI keyboard now plays correct octave, a bug in amp velocity to envelope time corrected. Improved phaser sound.

26.05.07 Version 1.2 . News in version 1.2: New presets by Heinrich Horstmann. Less effects in the factory bank for a more punchy hardware sound. Shorter relese in original memorymoog presets. Dave Haupt updated filter1 to solve some clicks. Problems with extreme distortion/clicks from filter2 in "CPU save" mode solved. New delay has 50% lower CPU. The chorus has been rebuilt with lower CPU and reduced clicks. Effect section routing rebuilt for in order to reduce CPU. New distortion module has 80% lower CPU (Until the oversampled module is ready).

18.02.07 Version 1.1 . News in version 1.1 Attila Fustos updated the oscillator.Crash when uploading more than 3 instances in Cubase, or more than 1 instance in Sonar fixed. On/off switches for osc2 fixed. Modulation signal for filter 1 smoother to prevent crackles at fast modulation rates, but remember that filter1 is not made for audio rate modulation. Use filter2 for that. In addition there is a lot of bugfixes, and fixes for bad recall. Presets organized by category. New presets by Peter Werner (PeWe) and Tom sounds is made by databass (alias Tommaso Berardocco). The soundfont section is now with true stereo and is optimized for keyboard sounds. (Filter tracking and keyfollow for envelopes). See the pianopatches at the download page. Brighter reverb. I have made all 30 filter-models in filter2 available for the end user. It is basically 15 filter models with fast (low CPU) versions of all filter models. The default model is 4-1:5. The 4:4 filter has a smoother resonance.

15.11.06. Version 1.0 . Betatesters: Scott Bickel, Arsov Aleksander, Peter Werner, Ian Booth, David Haupt, Frank McCarty, Roger Harrison, Ferdinand Strixner, Ralph Gonzales, Michael Woodman (Nicanorgate) Peter Major and Mattias Askervall.
