8/27/2024 - OS 1.42

Digital Waves still have no Osc Control for shaping the wave...and no modulation for the Osc Env to modulate shape...and no LFO modulation of shape.

used these modulation features a lot on NS3 - anyone know if this is on the road map?

unless I am missing something - as of now...these waves are very STATIC and a huge step backward from NS3.

is there a reason why Sound Manager (using 8.00 right now) doesn't allow me to SAVE an empty bank?

surely I am not the only person who might want to quickly clear a bank to do some house cleaning and rearrange things?

Are you sure you have the "Organize" function engaged? you need to to that to make changes-

Envelope Amount modulation fails to work correctly when the modulation envelope is set to minimum attack and maximum decay. This is a bug carried over from firmware version 1.34 to 1.44 which Nord claim to have fixed. They haven’t

For the modulation of an oscillator sync wave, the oscillator ENV AMT (envelope amount) control does not work for negative amounts when the envelope decay is set to INF (infinite) and the attack is set to minimum. It does work for positive amounts. This means if you want to use velocity to modulate the sync whilst keeping a constant envelope level, you can only do it in a positive direction. It should work in both directions because the control is supposed to be bi-polar.
This issue also effects oscillator pitch modulation where no values of the ENV AMT positive or negative will allow velocity to modulate the pitch when the modulation envelope is set to static (Attack 0, Decay Inf). There are several other oscillator modulations (e.g. phase) that do not work as they should.

Thanks Hector Space, I've separately posted your issue here for more discussion. I think it's an important issue as well.

All,
I really appreciate the time some take to inform others users of an issue or bug they have found, however I ask the following:

To keep this post to a manageable size and also make it easier for users to find information on a specific bug they are experiencing, please limit comments in this post to mention of what you have added to the Google sheet and include a link to your related post where your issue/bug is discussed.

Stepping through the Google sheet NS4 Issues/Bugs List, I've found it extremely helpful to be able to go to posts to read further about certain bugs and what others contributed to the discussion. Sometimes consensus is needed on an acceptable resolution to the issue, as one person's idea of a fix can be another user's problem, so the discussion is helpful (but not in this post please).

Please report all bugs to Clavia (Nord) at Nord Support and note when it was reported in the Google sheet.[/b]

Thank you!
