I think you've convinced me that I want this...thanks a lot, lol. One small thing though regarding the payment plans that I think might be worth addressing is, you said that the Yearly payment plan costs $10/month (that's how I understood it anyways) which, while true in the technical sense, is billed once yearly (i.e. $120 a pop). This may seem like a small thing but I know what it's like to be able to effort a few bucks more each month whereas paying the yearly fee (while lower in price per month) upfront would have meant waiting several to many months before I'd have the larger sum saved up. This may seem trivial but for people with impulse control issues, this can really be a roller coaster. Thanks for the great vid though, I really like the way this thing sounds. 👍

Something that i started to consider today it the inability to do stereo modulation of the lfos in current. However the things that i would normally attatch stereo modulation to in vital are the filters, delay, chorus phaser and reverb. Which have spred. Which you can modulate as well. And even with the pitch envelope on the sub osc being able to be recreated with an envelope in vital, having that set up already without deticating an osc that you could use for fm is incredible for work flow. What are you opinions on stereo modulation do the things with spread scratch your itch?
@DashGlitch
@DashGlitch 9 ай бұрын
Yep you got it, spread on most of the important parameters is good enough and swift for workflow imho
@Gnurklesquimp2
@Gnurklesquimp2 9 ай бұрын
Love how that formant filtered saw synth sounded at the end. I've always wanted an envelope that recognizes when the note is supposed to reach 0 and pre-empt it with the release, I wish every one of them had some kind of toggle like that, applicable to almost any modulation. Can do it manually, especially with bpm synced envelopes it's not too big a deal, but that extra flexibility without modulations/copies of the synths for different note lengths is huge for creative flow. Quick related tip: All my places where presets go have one called ''.Temporary'', I always overwrite over this one when quickly copy/pasting, and it always appears in the same spot. Does anyone know of any ways to copy automation data to different automations? Let's say you easily want to have two filters run in parallel, preferably individually tweakable, but a truly linked mode would be convenient too. I use FL, but I'd be interested if other DAWS have options for this too. I'm pretty sure there's plugins that will let you link several things to the same automation source, but I'd like to be able to add parallel automation to something I didn't initially plan to do that to. If I could just copy automation data over to such a controller that affects multiple things, that'd work and give me both copy/paste and linking/merging capabilities.

@Gnurklesquimp2
@Gnurklesquimp2 9 ай бұрын
@@DashGlitch Ty! I'm aware of those (And should use them more...), but the main issue is I usually start off without one. I automate one thing and realize I want something else in parallel later. Weird thing about FL, I open the channel settings/automation editor window, and the save preset option there is gray. I'd copy/paste that over to a controller, but it seems I have to do it manually for no particular reason, we can save midi data etc. just fine Edit: I'm looking into it now, it seems I've got it, mostly. I can simply use the link to controller window to link to an existing clip! I don't get options as advanced as I'd like them this way, but there's options like default, inverted, log scale and steppy, just no custom formula/range over which it's active. I'd love being able to squish it into a range or simply cut off the movement at the extremes One strange issue seems to be that I gotta make sure to pick everything I wanna assign before making copies of the automation clip, since anything added after will only respond to one of the automation clips, appearing seperately in the list... Strange. Well, I click the automation clip in question and can add to a list of target link! Strange issue, but it's solved. Except, it seems it won't take the formula into account on the automation clip it is now assigned to, even though it says it should. Another discovery: State files... I guess they just don't consider it a preset, but it's there. Well, I can save the automation data that ''broke'' cause I added a link after I copied the clip, now I save that data and create a copy of the original that works after I've linked something, simply paste automation data onto that. Not the best, but it works and still saves time overal

Soooo.. now that a few months have passed. Did you end up using Current in your productions? Are you subscribed to they're live service? What do you think about this synth outside of the advertisement campaign? I usually wait until the promo phase for a plugin is through to get some opinions from people that have used them for an extended period of time and have incorporated the plugins into they're productions.

Nice, thanks for the reply. I am not a fan of subscription models either it`s what kept me from buying it sofar. I will go for a perpetual license if i opt to buy it, the only thing bothering me is that there is the stream/store build into the synth itself. But i can see Current being an interesting composit of elements with the implementation of the effects and multi synthesis options.

I bought Current last weekend.. its Very Cool! but feels a bit like a beta. 2023 synth without undo/redo? No mod matrix, You cant bypass a modulation, No remap etc. When u try to overwrite a preset its open a different window that doesn't pop in focus( I thought the software freeze and I lost my preset), there is no rename for presets... i guess Minimal audio still have some basic work to do.. 200$ price tag, I expect a premium quality all the way.

Their fully functional effects that you would already be accustomed too since most are stand alone. With the presets for all of them. Something like Morph EQ is a bigger beast with access to the modulation capabilities. Being able to, right within the plugin, browse more presets and sounds is convenient. Since the interface is basically a combination of Serum and Pigments, in my opinion, the workflow is much more efficient in comparison. I'd worry less about how this compares to other synths, sure, it's another synth, but try it, does it feel more intuitive and enable a better workflow for you to be more creative? Then that in itself it's a win compared to other synths.

Per band settings: Output, Crossover, Solo, Bypass, Threshold upwards, Ratio upward, Threshold downwards, Ratio downwards. A compressor in 2023 without automatable or assigned threshold values ..... really?
