Suggestion: Remove the now-redundant fine-tuning function #4

Closed xandramax closed 3 years ago

xandramax commented 4 years ago

In the original Plaits, when the Frequency-CV input is not patched, its attenuverter functions as a fine-tuning knob.

Because Palette adds a large dedicated fine-tuning knob, perhaps this newly-redundant specialized behavior of the Frequency-CV attenuverter should be removed? This would reduce the amount of "hidden functionality", which is consistent with the general theme behind Palette's interface design.

OK, this looks like it should be easy to handle, but again there's an exception that has to be done because of the speech synthesis engine. (The FM attenuverter acts not as a fine tune but as an intonation curve control when the FM CV input isn't patched in...)

It's the LPG-Frequency attenuverter that acts as intonation control, not the Frequency-CV attenuverter (which is the one with the redundant fine-tuning function).

This was a change you already did then, I think...?

The only change I made in regards to this was to ensure that the (now redundant) fine-tuning function still worked even when the LPG is activated (by patching the trigger input). This was Poly_AudibleInstruments PR 4.

This suggestion would instead revert that change as well as remove this fine-tuning functionality when Trigger is unpatched.

I've got a working patch which implements this suggestion; I'll submit it as a pull request so you can review.
