Re: [LMMS-devel] LB302

By the way, what do you mean you made the vco_ variables frequency independent?

vco_inc is the amount that the sample needs to change each frame in
order for the frequency to be met.  If you make this
frequency-independent then the synth would only support one frequency!
vco_slideinc is the same idea.  vco_slidebase stores the base
"frequency" in order for the slide note to know where to slide to.
How do you expect to do a slide if you make these
frequency-independent.

I am currently very disappointed by the changes you are suggesting.  I
feel as though I have lost any control over the creativity of my
plugin.  I don't know what you are trying to turn the plugin into, but
it is definately not what I set out to accomplish when I first started
writing it.  Sigh....
