![]() ![]() I've made small efforts towards doing some of the things that I can do in VAST using Pd, but really it's quite a lot of work to implement things so that they sound and/or act the same. Those chips are highly optimized for audio DSP, as opposed to general-purpose DSP (like a TigerSharc and descendants), so my understanding is it takes some shoe-horning to get them to poll the physical controllers/state of various digital modulation sources, which is what the microcontroller does. My understanding is the VA-1 used some form of CLARA/MARA dsp to run envelopes and LFOs too, but because of that it only had 8 notes of polyphony (or maybe 16?). To keep things manageable, to date they've used the same chip so writing new code (for things like UI management) isn't more complicated than it already is. The main issue with envelope/fun/lfo clock speeds is the microcontroller that controls the O.S. My current operating theory is BOXCAR may be related to how they got that to happen, and based on what I've been able to tease out by asking questions it seems like it could be interesting. However, FM works off of hz, which implies a different scaling for pitch. ![]() ![]() The main issue with FM/PM to date in VAST is how the tuning works, namely, everything in VAST is generally done in cents. There's at least another new DSP block that I've heard mentioned (called "BOXCAR"). I'm excited to get v4.0 loaded on my Forte, it should be cool.
