Lith

Great sound, but the GUI is difficult to work with. Are there any plans to update the GUI?

I plan to add small and large toggles.

Which point do you find difficult? Knob style? layout?

If find the sliders a bit too small, it would be nice if they looked like real sliders. Also the GUI dimming as you hover over things is a bit distracting.

But, hey, the sound really is lovely.

True, GUI size is a consideration.
Oh, distracted! Such comments are very grateful. I didn't notice it myself.
I'll allocate more resources to improve GUI.

I'm glad you liked the sound. I will write a detailed document about the sound.

Thanks. Will there be one 32-bits version ?

I will make a 32-bits version in the near future.

I see 32-bit is available now! Thank you graciously for supporting 32-bit VST2 format. Many abandon it, but it still works well in certain DAW versions.

Hi, I ran the newly installed Lith 64-bit AU by Logic plugins manager and this is the conclusion of the failed validation report:

# # # 162 Global Scope Parameters:
ERROR: Parameter values are different since last set - probable cause: a Meta Param Flag is NOT set on a parameter that will change values of other parameters.

* * FAIL
(OS X 10.12.6).

I hope to resolve your issue quickly.
Thank you for your report!

Hi, I like the concept and the presets are very nice.

Sound : I find a huge difference in sound and CPU consomption when changing the quality. At the best quality, there is still a lot of aliasing when using sawtooth and other waves. Maybe some work to do there. Almost unusable in some cases.

GUI : Buttons are very small and you shoul improve the contrasts between buttons and the fill. Also the dialog which asks you if you want to save your preset is very annoying.

I would like the ability to reset buttons to zero with the left mouse or double click. This dimming GUI is distrating, almost like having a bulb in front of you.

Your envelopes gui is a bit small but otherwise I like it a lot.

Cheers.

Hi, fifou64.

Yes, I should adjustments of alias noise thing.
And I also need to make major changes to the GUI.

Assigning mouse action is worrisome.
There are 3 items: reset, prompt, and control menu.
I still have to think about it.
Your comment was very helpful, Thank you.

yo while your at it can you give the synth a more glowy theme it would be mor appeling to people.

We are redesigning it now, will bring the looks closer to the first version.

Which parameter is the LFO assigned to?

Lith keeps crashing when changing quality setting. This happens in Reaper. Windows 64-bit.

Hello, Halonmusic.

Does the problem always occur in the same situation?
Is it possible to have the project file sent?

I also use a reaper as the main, so I think it's relatively easy to fix.

Yes it always occurs in the same situation.

I can send you a project file saved with Lith. Thanks :).

It's very helpful. I send a PM. :).

Thank you much for sharing and for portable ver. as well!
I'm impresed of functionality for free synth.
It's almost what I want to see on a synth.
Pulse width modulation on all waves and even on LFO (My inner Nick Batt is happy:)
Curve is everywhere and we can modulate it.
But I currently find params aren't handy to adjust and especialy LFO rate (missing of a knob:(and tempo sync I expect to see like 3/8, 1/4, 3/16 and ect.
Also value of params should move to a next level when they's reached a big amount (I mean ms to sec, Hz to kHz)
Lith eats about 15% of my CPU even track's Fx is switched off on Reaper.
And it's lack of a global modulation matrix where we could modulate everything with everything.

Ah, yes i wrote him about that tempo sync, actually you have 1,2,3,4 beats and so on and it is in sync. But i want to see that 3/16 thing also...so its just the musical display feedback, and its easier for musicians to read.

That Quality and CPU Problem is interessting, i can run more that 15 instances of Lith and only on pads or when the Quality is turned up my CPU (i7) sucks and crackle noises...also sometimes the sound goes away you edit the Quality (Q) settings. Mostly Q and R (Render) is x1. In previous Versions some sound where not useable if Q was x0,5...

Haha, your right...if you turn up release i can have 0,01 ms to 32000,00 ms. Good points.

I think he works hard and he is fast...imho...

Cheers.

I suspect the graphics I've run 12 Liths here's about 30% CPU when it's playing and open only one window of synth (2 and more of opened Liths are only about 38%) but when close a synth's window it's 15%-ish.

BTW the quality toggle doesn't give tangible effect (on CPU at least (I didn't notice (needs more tests))).

I appreciate his(or her or they (sorry)) time of course.

I forgot to say a envelope window shows almost only little values (it ends on about 400 ms and quite confuses).

btw I can live without that visualisation on evelopes and filters as well (especially if it's hard to manage and increase CPU usage).

Thank you for update.

Thank you for tweak on double-click :).

And drop-menu on params is handier now.

Keep it up.

Oh, I missed the message here.
Notification settings are off by default.
I turned on it.

I will think about how to express the LFO and the envelope.
Performance issues will improve further.

Although it may take some time, I will consider all the opinions I received.
I am very happy to receive your opinions.
Thank you so much.

It's my pleasure :).

Looking forward!_.

Thank you :).

Does this synth offer sounds that I wouldn't be able to get/create from serum or Ableton stock synths (like analog)? Worth the download and install?

There is no demo video or SoundCloud clips that I can find.

There is no demo movie, but One Synth Challenge # 129 is now being held,
There are outstanding tracks already uploaded.

The waveform used by this synth was sampled from an real analog oscillator.
If you'd like, Install it and see how it differs from other synths.
You can also determine how much is worth it.

are there any plans to develop some fx into the thing at all?

I hope no.

On soft-synth it's excess, no need.

And not to metion maintain that.

We have no plans to add effects to Lith,
but maybe we'll develop something like an extended version of this synth,
It may contain some effects.

I'd focus on synthesis there are a lot could to do.

Hi there, .

Could you say could we wait for global modular matrix?

Hello, Ivannn.

Does that mean that all the assigned assignments are an operational list of modulations?
it's a very nice.

Yep, all in one :).

I'd be glad to help with design or test that if you wanted;).

Feel free, .

Happy Holidays!_.

Cheers!_.

This feature will be implemented over time.
It may take some time.
However, I will consider making a rough version available as soon as possible :).

I'm happy to read this :).

Looking forward!_.

Any plans to add custom wavetables or even Oscillator modulation modes, really want to use some customized wavetables in this synth?

Hello,
I feel that it is best to have that function.
But for now there are no plans to put custom wavetables in Lith.
If implemented it, it may be another version of Lith.

Ok, I look forward to the development of this excellent synth. Thank you.

Thank you! I won't let you down.

Thank you for update.

But unfortunately there are still same issues.

Promised tasks are on the list.
We have been working on the critical problem for the last two months.
There are still some critical tasks, If all goes well, the matrix feature will be ready for development in 60 days.

Downloaded the 2.1.6 VST3 and I get no waveforms visible (flat line), no sound and this error message.

*Delete this file after fixing the problem, the error message disappears.

2020/11/04 11:33:49: Failed to write settings file.
2020/11/04 11:33:49: Failed to write settings file.
2020/11/04 11:33:49: Failed to write settings file.

The 1kb settings file is there (no extension). Any help?

Hello,
It seems to be a bit of a complicated issue.
The setting files are being generated, but there seems to be an error.
Furthermore, the lack of sound seems to be another problem.
Can you erase the whole Dir with the setting files and try again?
