Ad van Ties – manual

in Funs:
- bug fix: FM input
- tweaked parameter restrictions
- added "restrict parameters" option to the context menu

optimization for Ad, Adje and Sjoegele
renamed the “buffer” input to “amps” in Ad, Adje and Bufke and Ad’s “fund” output to “root”
in Sjoegele:
- added θ = 0 outputs
- added friction
- removed θ inputs
- changed parameter ranges

new module: Sjoegele.
in Ad:
- More accurate computation for the sine waves.
- Removed fundamental wave shape from the context menu and added automaic octave transposition.
- Slight change to the reset button and input, such that oscillator sync works now.
in Ad and Adje:
- Changed some of the knob marker labeld to icons (instead of numbers).
- Added a comb filter, controlled by the delay parameter, when the ‘→ buffer’ jack is disconnected.
in Bufke:
- Added connection indicator.
in Ad, Adje and Bufke:
- Reworked the mapping of the delay knob.
- Added a light on the reset button.
in Funs:
- Changed the mapping of the three parameters, such that it avoids most of aliasing.

new modules: Adje, Bufke and Funs.
Changed Ad’s front panel slightly: moved some things around to make it similar to Adje, and changed the numbers for the tilt knob to icons.
Converted this manual from PDF to HTML.

The Σ outputs are in general a bit hotter (but still within ±5 V), due to a change in the normalization procedure.
Optimization, by reducing the computation rate for the amplitudes of the partials.
Extended the range of the tilt parameter: from minimum –2 to –∞.
Added the quantize stretch to harmonics mode.

combining the lowest partial and tilt parameters into one parameter,
moving settings to the context menu,
getting rid of the buffer CV attenuator/amplifier,
getting rid of the balance knob (this is replaced by detecting the connection at the buffer CV input),
getting rid of the octave knob (this is replaced by the pitch quantization settings),
rearranging.

Added random mode.
Added the clock input.
Reworked the delay knob. The left-hand side is replaced by the ‘high → low’ mode.

Reworked the left-hand side of the sieve knob. Basically changed the order.
Added reset trigger input.
Reworked the normalization of the amplitudes, such that the output audio is in some cases a bit louder.
Reworked the stereo section: the lower partials are panned less than the higher ones now. And the continuous width parameter is reduced to three options.
Added pitch quantization and reset modes.
Added left/right channel flipping.

The CV buffer section is reworked. The most significant bit is that there is now a large buffer which runs at audio rate. Now one can send snappy envelopes into it, which are replayed without any smoothening.
More compact front panel,

by replacing the auxiliary oscillator section with only the fundamental output,
getting rid of the stereo width and balance CV inputs, because I consider those `set and forget' parameters,
getting rid of the amp parameter, since the new CV buffer section can take this role when the delay time is set to 0.

Got rid of the change of v2.2.1. I didn't like the clicky sound when turning the stretch knob.
Added the reset button.
Changed some knob ranges.

a different, generally more efficient algorithm computing the sines. This algorithm can cause some phase shifting after running a while, though.
The CV drawer works differently.
Some parameters are renamed.
Some of the knob mappings have changed.
Got rid of a few attenuverters.

more optimization
for Funs: fine-tune the parameter space: find a better balance between non-aliasing and maximum possibilities
for Ad: remove clicking on reset
