Mid/Side Control/Effects
I’ve noticed there is not a whole of options for controlling side information in this synth and typically this needs to be done through post processing. It would be cool if there was some kind of built-in utility in the mixer to do this. The width control on each oscillator doesn’t really make much of an impact for me even with all effects being bypassed. The Ripple Phaser tends to make my sounds out of phase without some sort of post processing to control it. Granted turning the dry/wet completely down to like 5% mitigates it to some extent but kind of defeats the purpose of the effect. The Flex Chorus effect also has this issue to some extent but there is at least a multi-band control for it. It would also be nice if there were expanded effects options with extra busses to effect certain aspects of the sound individually etc. Anyways you guys do great programming work so I’m sure you may already have something in the works. Thank you!

I can imagine a sort of “Utility” effect which can be inserted anywhere in the effect chain and used as many times as needed, like any other effect. So far, the only really essential component I can think of for this effect would be mono/stereo control. I often use the “Mono Lows” option in Hybrid Filter, but I feel like this can be expanded upon. Perhaps there can be a whole multiband correlation EQ where a certain number of bands can be added, with each band having its own stereo control (similar concept as Fuse Compressor). Panning and phase inversion might also be nice (and could even be more powerful if customizable for each band), but otherwise I don’t have any other ideas for what this Utility effect can include. The multiband stereo control could potentially be enough though.
I also made an older post suggesting lowpass/highpass/multiband options in Wave Shifter. I would love to have these options, since I would prefer to eliminate stereo/phase issues at the source rather than try to fix it later on in the effect chain or even in post.
