Glass FM : A 4 operators FM synth

This is really cool! nice work! The paging works well, I like how the screen says what the next page is.

One thing I noticed is the knobs sound a little ‘steppy’. This is because the update rate on the Organelle knobs is pretty slow. Sometimes it is desirable, but often you want a smooth feel. To fix you can do one of these:

[r knob1]
|
[sig~]
|
[lop~ 5]
|
[s~ smooth-knob1]    

The low pass filter filters out the steps. You can also play with the cutoff freq (5) to get an ad-hoc portamento…
or use the line

[r knob1]
|
{$1 40}
|
[line~]
|
[s~ smooth-knob1]

or using the message [line] if you don’t need it as a signal

I was also thinking of some kind of preset functionality for patches like this… but maybe this is another discussion. something like holding the aux button enters preset mode, then you can save and recall presets with the keys…
