Z I think that it was you that suggested Limiter No. 6? Probably the best single plugin out there for nailing your kicks down.z.prime wrote:This is a typical problem with OSC synths - like there's something free-running under the hood and the kick is not consistent.

And yes, as bjp says, try to throw a limiter on top and boost into it to get a more consistent level.

Yep, Limiter 6 is one of the best, definitely. Definitely works magic on a kick & snare.H-man wrote:Z I think that it was you that suggested Limiter No. 6?

This looks very interesting -- and there is a Mac version, so I'm looking forward to getting back into the mix this month!

Super!!! A challenge with possibilities for us Mac users.
One thing: I noticed the last entry date was set "before 1 September".. I take it that's just a typo, and it should read "before 1 October"?

Ah - Bonkers!!
Cannot get this plugin to work on my Mac anyhow. AU-validation failed.. Will try some other DAW that supports VST instead of Logic..

It has a bunch of sections: compressor, peak limiter, master limiter, others... i pretty much just use those first 3, so can ignore a couple other sections I think. Really pretty easy, once you get used to it.bjporter wrote:Bahhh i better get in the Limiter 6 club.

Thank you for the advice, but I prefer to make patches from scratch. I have come to solid kick patch (I don't even now how, I made another one with same settings, and it was with random sounding, maybe waves were different, idk)bjporter wrote:That happens a lot of times with pure synth percussion. Maybe someone else has a better patch - did you try the kick patches on page 1?IrregularDan wrote:Well, when I'm trying to create a kick patch, something random happens with the sound when I play the pattern.

One of my tricks is to drive the volume really loud, then throw into a limiter - which should keep a more steady volume.

When a synthesized kick varies at each beat, I compress and maximize it to death and use a separate patch to get my attack back. Then those two or three patches get compressed and eq'ed again through a group channel. The only thing to be aware of is that the patches don't enter the groupchannel at a level that is to high, so I adjust the inputvolume on the groupchannel.

Hey everyone, was hoping someone could help me with an issue I was having with this synth.
I have a sustain pedal that seems to be functioning correctly (the midi log in Reaper's ReaControlMidi shows the pedal is outputting 127 (on) when depressed and 0 (off) for when not depressed).
However, when I try to use it with Digits, the synth doesn't seem to respond to my sustain pedal. Is this synth not configured to accept a MIDI msg for sustain pedal on/off (cc:64)?
If so, is there a way I could setup Digits so it would accept a sustain pedal input?
Hope my question wasn't too confusing, I'm not very technical so not sure how to describe the issue better.
-Thanks everyone

Arg wish I could help with this one - it's a good question. I'm sure some Reaper / Midi experts here can chime in
