Option to have reverb (or other future effects) in mono mode #646

Closed baconmonsta closed 5 months ago

baconmonsta commented 6 months ago

I use Minidexed as 2 synth engines TG1 & TG2" panned hard left and right. The output channels (left & right) go to different destinations in my music setup. If I use reverb on either of the engines, the reverberated sound will start leaking out from the other channel as well, rendering it useless for my use case.

Therefore I'd propose having the option to set reverb into mono-mode (i.e. no stereo widening) to keep the stereo image clean.

In advanced setups like this, don't most people use external effects processors/"guitar pedals" for the effects anyway?

The upside of having this, would be to have the option of a midi-controlled reverb in the composition. But you're right, pedals will do the trick as well.

That being said, I really love this project. I have been looking for a good and compact DX7-like fm synth for a while, and never in my wildest dreams imagined that the best solution would be a diy project. Thank you!
