Automation Control

One thing that I have noticed that could use some polishing is the automation controls. For instance, it would be nice if there was a "shape" button that would generalize the values based on a shape. This could be sine, saw, square, exponential, or other shapes too.

Still in regards to automation; if there was a finer tuning increment. I have done some panning and I noticed a lot of popping when the synth was standalone. I later found out it was due to extreme changes in amplitude for each side. A remedy is to gradually change it, even if the "gradual" change is extreme. Unfortunately, I was panning the smallest size notes, so the smallest increment to use on automation was only 1/64. It helped a bit, but it would be nicer to have a bit more fine tuning. Maybe just 1/128?

The automation has a lot of potential. If they spent more time on it, it would be amazing. Thanks for reading. :D

You can get the same effect by using LFO controllers (which also can be automated).

I think there was a patch doing just that put out on the development list a while back...

I just put a 1-line patch on the tracker to add 1/192 to the choices.
