Hi Uli --
Thanks for making the comparison and posting the screenshots. Fabulous!
YEM as it is should be enough to build layered voices using regular voice waveforms. I feel pretty good about that. As you mentioned in a different post, more control over elements would be welcome: cross-fade, amplitude sensitivity, etc.
We've already discussed the need for SArt and SArt2 voice editing, so there's no need to go there, again (and again, and again :-) )
One short term fix/extension that Yamaha
need to make is the ability to handle
18 or more DSP parameters. Sixteen parameters is not enough to edit and store the 18 parameters in the new rotary speaker effect. Here are the parameters as taken from the Montage Data List:
No. Parameter Range Value
- ----------------------- ---------------------------- -----------
1 Speed Control Slow, Fast (0 - 1)
2 Drive 0.0 - 10.0 (0 - 100)
3 Tone 0.0 - 10.0 (0 - 100)
4 Rotor/Horn Balance R63>H - R=H - R<H63 (1 - 127)
5 Output Level 0 - 127 (0 - 127)
6 Mic L-R Angle 0deg, 90deg, 120deg, 180deg (0 - 3)
7 Input Level -6dB - 0dB - +6dB (52 - 76)
8 Modulation Depth 0 - 63 (0 - 63)
9 -
10 -
11 Slow-Fast Time of Horn x0.21 - x1.00 - x2.00 (14 - 127)
12 Fast-Slow Time of Horn x0.21 - x1.00 - x2.00 (14 - 127)
13 Rotor Speed Slow 0.0rpm - 88.3rpm (0 - 127)
14 Horn Speed Slow 0.0rpm - 89.6rpm (0 - 127)
15 Rotor Speed Fast 189.3rpm - 736.8rpm (1 - 127)
16 Horn Speed Fast 209.4rpm - 817.6rpm (1 - 127)
17 Slow-Fast Time of Rotor x0.21 - x1.00 - x2.00 (14 - 127)
18 Fast-Slow Time of Rotor x0.21 - x1.00 - x2.00 (14 - 127)
Without extension, we won't be able to set and store the rotor (de)acceleration (transition) times.
I realize that one needs to handle 99.99% of the cases in order get the product shipped and out the door. However, I hope that the Genos team realize that their own effect programmers are getting out ahead of the Genos user interface software. If the effect guys create more effect algorithms with greater than 16 parameters, we won't be able to change and store all of them either.
Hey, hey, thanks for diving into this! (And the diff!)

P.S. My time and posts are going to be erratic this week. Sorry (in advance).
