I have not been making a lot of music recently, but have just got back to using zynthian again.
I have noticed a couple of things that make me wonder:
What happened to SynthV1? I used to like that synth but noticed it is not available on the hardware and not listed in the webconfig. Since it is still advertised on the website I wonder if it is some sort of bug that it’s not available or if there is another reason for that?
When adding audio effects to a layer it does not seem to be possible to edit the effects parameters. Neither single- not bold-clicking brings up a parameter menu. I only get options to replace or remove the effect. When adding a dedicated audio FX layer the effect parameters are available so I guess it’s either an error that the parameters are not available or I’m missing something.
I hadn’t noticed before but synthv1 is missing on my zynthian and I’m also missing Aeolus. I just updated but they are still missing.
Regarding your 2nd question, when you add an effect to a synth layer, the pages to adjust the fx parameters are added to the bottom of the list of pages for the synth parameters.
Thanks a lot! Scrolling through the synth’s parameters was not something that came to my mind. I went through the User Guide a couple of times but could not find any mention of the effect parameters so maybe that is worth updating/optimizing in the guide.
Synthv1 is basically my favorite Open Source synth second to only Surge, so it would be great to get this thing back in there
I just got Synthv1 going again. On my Zynthian I went to the webconfig and found it listed in the LV2 plug-ins under the Audio Effects tab. I unchecked it and then checked the Advanced view box. Next I typed in synthv1 in the plug-in search box (the box between the ALL and FILTER buttons). Synthv1 then showed up under the MIDI synth tab so I clicked it’s enable box and clicked on Save.
Ok interesting. Mine seems to be locked in the Audio Effect section though. So I can only add it as an Audio FX Layer in Zynthian and therefore cannot play it via MIDI.
I’m running on a nightly build from a few weeks ago, but I plan to return to Buster RC2 on my RPI4 Zynthian. I’ve been experimenting with a lot of things on this image and may have messed up a few things in the process.
