Huge in Depht Video on Polypulse features

Hi,

Looking at the forum, I have decided to do a big in depht video for users and future customers. It s not a complete one, I still need to learn features
Hope that it will be helpful for some of you

Hey this is great, thanks for making this!

You re welcome. It s not as deep and professionnal as I would like. That’s a start point. I hope that this will bring more curiosity on polypulse :slight_smile:

From watching; I can see there’s no fine tune for the synth drum modules… just two parameters per drum + AMP Envl :
Is this true? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
and if not is there a workaround? /user scales?
I find fine tuning for drums a vital feature

So for quad engine parameters you got volume + 2 timbral parameters + attack + hold + decay. All of these can be modulated and morphed.

The quad engine parts (all except ratchet and metal) are tuned and play the notes as triggered from the sequencer. Thus if you want the kick always to hit at a certain frequency you would put a single note in a note list and use that note list for that track. You can also have the kick play bass lines even with slides

Nice! and yes I am aware of that semitone adjustment?.. adjusting fine tune is important to get frequencies synced to my desired design…

On second thought prehaps the user scale and preset scale tunings is the correct way for this now that we’ve backed this into a corner.
Thanks!

If you’re using sampled drums the pitch can also be (coarse/fine) tuned in the sample list editor.

There is currently no fine tune / cents offset in the note list editor. You could select a tuning like 24 edo which has quarter tones so you have more pitches to choose from.

I can imagine using the quad engine as a sound design tool: layer acoustic kicks with synthesis drum for example, then resampling and using fine tune adjustments…

I will say though fine tune is one of my most favorite modulation target for subtile movements… but Im fine with the workarounds, rahter insignificant request vs everything synth in the PP.
