Mr. Otomachines,

Thank you for such a wonderful product! I use this exclusively on my Vermona DRM1 MK III drum machine. Your biscuit has totally opened things up on the Vermona and is now is truly indispensable for my use.

My suggestion, if possible, while in the step filter mode, for the biscuit to send and receive midi signals for the frequency pot? I know this may be a lot of midi data to handle. While I have the step filter running on the OTO in my DAW sequencer, I can still manually do a filter sweep using the filter knob for more effect. I would like to be able to record these "knob tweaks" in step mode for some automation. Is this possible?

Thanks! :D

I feel like a fool! I was feeding it 16ths from a bass synth... I guess the notes were too fast for the envelope detection, so no envelopes were being triggered on the oto. But now playing into it more slowly, I can here them now.

Yep, I still would like a faster release / decay. Even if the 'clock' knob had two halves.. First half with a slower decay, second half with a faster? That may get ugly and confusing tho..

Hi geoscience. Not a very complicated feature to add, I think. On the wish list (I should say to-do list!) !

You're right, decay time could be too slow sometimes. The two halves solution is possible, but I was thinking of a switch (the first one "1 - TAP") to toggle between Fast and Slow decay, or to set a "decay time" parameter with the clock pot. On the to-do list (I should end the wish list one day !).

How about a 'detune' parameter for the 3 synth waves?

It'd be cool to have them playing a fifth apart from the original signal they are tracking etc.

Cheers

This one is not possible ! Biscuit has no way to know the frequency of the input signal.
It's easy to transform a sound into a sawtooth or a squarewave, even one octave below. But generating other frequencies (detune, fifths,...) needs too much processing power !

Ok, I thought maybe you had implemented a digital PLL.

Looking forward to the next software update!
