Hi Fernando,
thanks!
A large part of the development of the app concerns what to put into it, and what to skip.
Having multiple layers of the shaper output like you suggested is best achieved by just running multiple instances of SG in a host like AUM on iOS or Gigperformer on macos/windows, Cantabile on Windows, Mainstage on macOS. Ofcourse any DAW can work as a livehost too.
Best,
Paul

Hey! I've been playing around with your synthesizer, and it's absolutely fantastic!

I really hope you'll keep developing it, because it has so much potential. One feature I'd love to see in the future is the ability to have all three waveform types — saw, square, and "bright" — playing simultaneously, with separate controls for each one, such as pitch, filter, distortion, delay, and so on.

I think that would open up a ton of amazing creative possibilities and make the synth even more powerful and fun to experiment with!

Anyway, great work — I'm really enjoying it!

I have looked at Rainbow in the dark (see previous reply). the "No more tears" sound I'll do early next week.

Here a working sound for Rainbow in the Dark
A simple saw wave with a bit of doubling, bit slower attack, bit of chorus and a suiting reverb. Note that the EQ makes that highend shine a bit more like the original here.

Quote from: eti313 on Jul 30, 2026, 06:03 AMThanks, but I'm still getting chromatic stepping on factory patch 35 "Mild Saw Lead."
In the Shaper tab, turn the blend up to 1.0, and turn the vibrato off.
In the FX tab, turn off Mod and Delay,
In the Space tab, turn off Reverb.
Bend a string, and I plainly hear stepping. 

Setting the ATTACK to 0 in the shaper will reduce stepping there. SG traces the most probable paths between partials, the algorithm may need some refinement still.
There are a lot of complicated functions in SG that may need refining, but I need feedback from users to give them a priority. So, yours is noted!
I'm now working on near realtime response: independent from the latency setting in SETUP, you'll get a 5 ms response time.

Quote from: eti313 on Jul 29, 2026, 05:24 AMIt seems that some of the presets follow my string bends, and some are quantized to half steps. How do I control this behavior? I've looked all over and can't find how to turn it on or off.

Thanks,

In the SHAPER tab, click on "CHROMATIC" this switches the bends on/off
