Bob, Bob, Bob. Ol' Reliable. Thanks so much for fulfilling this forum request. Hard to believe that it's coming up on 10 years since that "elusive Project5 workflow" was being finalized, and not long after that the seeds of a community began revolving around it. (Hard to believe that I needed to download my own tutorial, too.) If you'll forgive a little backstory on this particular feature ...
At one point in time, there was this small group of developers, geeks, musicians, and ne'er-do-wells; no more than 6-8 at a time, but globally represented. They'd meet for virtual coffee every morning, and sometimes that would stretch well into the night. For more than a year. One of this group - we'll call him "Renny" - put out there that - along with the fixes in z3ta+ 1.5 - there should be a few sexier features added. Nothing too elaborate; the dreaded Code Freeze was fast approaching.
Someone mentioned that he always thought it'd be cool to be able to tap the output of the waveshaper. The thought was that the same wavetable could get run through a few times. Pick your level of complexity. 42 MINUTES LATER, it was incorporated in one of about a zillion build numbers for that synth version. Hardest working man in show business, that ... Renny. I've always called that the Pizza Feature, because you can't get home delivery that quickly.
I could help ya out
Chad, I believe that you already have. But if pressed, I promise that I'll invoke my Fifth Amendment rights. Not that it's done much good to date. Apparently, I'm a few years into this unintentional synth / programming hiatus now. But I think that I just bought myself
49 keys of inspiration. That has me putting down the guitars, and dusting off all of the synth classics. Fresh eyes now.
