Well,
I have working partials, and am able to apply timbre parameters to them. Lately I have been tuning the sound (Synth Emulation is hard)
Here's what I've learned:
Make not assumptions on how the hardware might interpret the parameters, chances are, you're wrong. The IIR filter is very cool, BTW, I may endeavor to create my own soft-synth driver to allow some of the effects it can produce with high resonance , such as feedback/distortions ... I've read a lot about filtering techniques, but I'm not sure I 100% understand the mathematics behind it.
What I'm doing now:
I'm building a dialog to help me dial-in the factors used by the synth engine to produce sound. I've also put off MIDI implementation for the moment, but may start that again. I've already planned out how partial assignments will work, so we'll see how that turns out.
