hypersaw phase init
 

Hello, I'm trying to make a patch with hypersaw and I want it to reset the phase at each note played to design a specific sound so I dont want it to sound different at each note.
I tried to put the phase init parameter to 1 but it just doesn't work in Hypersaw mode and I have this annoying phase shift sound.
What is the way to have the patch sounding the same at each note in Hypersaw mode? Thanks.

Hi, you've found one of the big differences between Hypersaw and traditional patch unison for supersaw-like patches.

Whereas traditional unison (at least on the Virus) modulates the start offset (of [each of] the oscillator[s]) in a very controlled way, almost like a triangle LFO waveform would - resulting in a very focused and clean sound, each and every time you trigger the patch - the Hypersaw's individual saws' start offset(s) on the other hand are all random. You can hit a key and find nearly all 9 oscillators are triggered in phase, but you can hit the note again straight afterwards and find they're all completely mixed (all have different phases) regardless of detune amount.



Unfortunately if you want coherent phase per each keypress, you need to use traditional unison or add the third oscillator instead, at the cost of polyphony.

Hello Timo, ok I was hoping it was possible, thanks a lot for the insight!
