lock default sort order in stream to A-Z
Seems like every time I am scanning presets in stream view I get part way through to realize that sort is set to shuffle and I seem to see the same preset repeat in the list as I scroll down.
holy f*k
I don’t need any help. you guys have seriously outdone yourselves with this and i just wanna say i’m incredibly grateful for every aspect of these products and their execution. thank you!
presets
where to find in my Account? hi, cant find the presets - under ‘my software’ there is nothing listed RGDS Detlef
Noise oscillator for Current
Hey! :) Met some cases where I used both the granular and sampler engines and had no way to add noise. It would be great to have a dedicated oscillator for the noise just like in many other synths like Serum.
CLAP Support
it would be awesome if all of your plugins use this extension, not only for the polyphonic capabilities, but it will increase the performance of all of your products, and also this allows you to make your plugins compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux, specially for Linux because I’ve seen a lot of people switching from Windows to Linux with this extension not only allows a better performance, but it grants more room for experimentation for future products or updates and they will keep a low CPU usage U guys are the best and your plugins are an absolute beast
Current is beautiful, but... cpu meter doesn`t like it !
I hardly toured trial during 7 days. Some amazing unique sounds are possible here but at a coast ! On a modern Core i7, GUI with a patch loaded taxes quite 15%, playing mono-mode brings meter upper to 20% and playing a poly chord rises up the taxe from 40% to saturation !!! Ok, we can freeze or render in place but my opinion is that the beauty of the beast and its fantastic FXs are more a pleasure for the eyes than to fuck with, I mean building projects or just playing vsts live like I currently do… Arturia did a big effort in this sense with Pigments now in version 7, I won`t say please “follow the leader” but at least a good example. Keeping my interest for a future lighter Current 🤞😊
Evoke idea
I really love Evoke, but there is one thing I would like to see. If you could slightly set the delay on each harmony. I think it would sound fatter and you could hear them more distinctly. Good job otherwise!
Wavetableeditor
Hi i would really like if Current will get a Wavetableeditor for all 3 Oscilators . Please implement this in a future update , i think the users will praise you for this ! thanks✌️
[Current] Couple of feature requests
I would like the ability to choose MPE globally rather than per preset. If I create a load of presets using my MPE controller then share those, a user without an MPE controller has to change to use MIDI instead of MPE each time they change preset (unless I am missing something). You could have a switch which it sets it to global/per preset defaulting to per preset to not impact backwards compatibility. I would like the ability to search for tags when saving a preset. Currently I need to look through all tags if say I want only drum tags
Current fx frequency split
Would be good to have a low/high or low mid high split in current to process different parts of the spectrum seperately. Same as how Serum 2 has this
Really love lucid but about the filter!
Hope you can add more different kind of filters in the filter module, the current one only has the basic filters would be nice to have the same options as in the Current synth, they can really spice up the sound much more. Now the eq feels like it has more funtionality than the filter.
Lucid !!!
Wow! I have only downloaded the fully working demo but this is everything that I dreamed of when I first read about granular synthesis many years ago. I was creating amazing textures within minutes of booting, so easy to use but so deep. Thank you Minimal for making an old man’s dream come true. I am getting the full license as soon as my next pension payment clears!
Enable automation parameter shortcut in pro tools
The “control option command click” shortcut was only added to pro tools a couple years ago but it is such a major QOL upgrade. Manually scrolling thru hundreds of parameters to find the one I’m looking for is such a flow killer, and this gives pro tools users the ability to just click on what to automate (yes, avid should’ve added this years ago internally but that’s another discussion). Please consider adding this functionality to all your plugins, it has been a workflow godsend on all the plugins I use that implemented it. Thanks!
Lucid: Phase control for Animator
Animator is fun, but I wish I could easily control where the movement starts.
Constantly asked to re-authenticate to current and effects plugins
I use current, swarm reverb, and cluster delay a lot. Unfortunately I’m asked to log in / authenticate excessively often, to the point that it gets in the way of my workflow. I haven’t been keeping track of the exact frequency, but it feels like every other day the authentication expires for some reason. For example, I just logged into the plugins earlier this week. Booted up Ableton again today to start working on a track, and I had to log in again. It’s very frustrating that the login doesn’t stick for longer.
make Taps (Cluster Delay, Flex Chorus) automateable
Iit would be SO awesome to have the Taps control exposed to the DAW so i could attach it to a macro. i use cluster delay and flex chorus so much that i have a few ableton macro racks set up for specific use cases, but not being able to control the # of voices without opening the UI really limits how helpful this can be. (this also goes for rift’s pre/post filter toggle but i’ve already posted about that)
Linux Support
With Linux becoming easier and easier to switch to and Microslop etc become more draconian, it’d be great to see some native linux builds. Currently the Minimal Audio plugins do not work with the yabridge/wine method due to some JUCE8 issues. Although it seems like in some instances they do work, it seems unreliable.
Current FX Combine
Do you have any plans to create a FX plugin based on CURRENT? An FX rack with modulators like Curves, LFOs, Macros, Random, Envelope Followers, and drag-and-drop modulation would be amazing. It would also be great to have a flexible effect chain with more effect slots and the ability to freely reorder effects. Having dedicated FX presets would make sound design much faster, since you wouldn’t need to open multiple plugins on every channel or draw automation by hand for every project. I think it could become an incredibly powerful creative tool. Is something like this on your roadmap? I think many CURRENT users would love it.
Modulate Curve segments
Here’s how it could work: Drag a modulator over a Curve segment, it turns green to give visual feedback, drop it and off we go. Fine tuning can be done in the matrix.
