How to customize Max synth sounds

Ian Guthrie's icon

Hello Max community,

I am wondering how to change the sound of synthesizers in Max. I used the "ezpoly" in order to create a polyphonic synthesizer, yet I want to change the timbre, or at least the response (which is currently producing a sound when I attach and release).

Thanks,

Ian Guthrie

ez-synth consists of a single wavetable object holding a sine wave, there is not much there you could do to change its timbre.

p.s.:
oh, wait, you edited it?
then we need that patch, too, pls.
subpatches are not contained in the mother patch when you copy to the forums.

Hello Roman Thilenius,

I only edited a the "i" to an "f" so that it would produce a microtonal scale. I do not mind the sine sound so much, but the fact that is articulates a note whenever I attack and release is something I want to change. I tried to use an external VST but it did not work for me.

I have attached the entire file. Thank you for informing me that you need the full patch.

Sincerely,

Ian Guthrie

you need to filter out notes with velocity 0

Wow! That was simple, yet profound! Thanks, Roman!
