Nice! trying it now

Yessssss gotta try it out now!

EDIT: OK, how does the Metamodule Arpeggiator work? Holding down multiple keys doesn't do anything,...

EDIT 2: The Auto Refresh and new waveforms, along with the visual display makes the Spectravoice EXCELLENT to work with.

EDIT 3: On the subject of the Spectravoice, do all of the band types work? Seems like the new "Triangles" waveform doesn't sound any different from the normal Sin one, just like Rect has since I can remember.

Could you include a desktop icon in the download? or maybe you have but I just cant find it?

Module grid mode is pleasing me a lot right now

Could you include a desktop icon in the download?

Sorry, not quite understand you :) For what?

On my linux box I have Sunvox as an icon on my desktop, I can click it and it launches Sunvox. But at the moment its just a generic image of a gear shape. Is there an official Sunvox icon?

Cool! Can't wait to try it out

Thanks for the new beta, Alex. Is there a way to add additional controllers for same machine via MultiCtrl? I.e. I want to control 2 or more parameters at their min/max settings all on same machine without having to pyramid stack MultiCtrl (i.e. connect multiple multictrl's to a single generator to separate out it's parameters so I can link them all into a single multictl to use as I wanted in the first place)...it seems like it should be part of that machine, to add extra parameters so each machine has option for more than just one parameter.

MetaModule Options -> enable Arpeggiator

You can hear differences on the large Bandwidth values :)

No direct way now, sorry...

After I enable the Arpeggiator, what do I do then? Playing multiple notes doesn't create the effect - how does it work, exactly? What's the process? Or would I use the normal Arp standard effect?

Ah, I'll have to try large bandwidth values with the different signal modes.

Being able to edit Metamodules directly is awesome, by the way. Thanks a ton for the work you've done on this, Night!

HA HA HA
Very happy!
Thought thought that it would be some more time before this!
So many goodies but at a first glance must say that I am most excited about the easier editing of metamodules and to finally start to use the Spectravoice without the hassle of rendering by hand... ( yes am a lazy boy! ). Just great. Mixing a SUnVox song right now but as soon as that is over it is party time with me and the lovely version 1.8!

Awesome update! Thank you, NightRadio!

Amazing work. Thanks you!

Thanks guys! :)

to SolarLune: please also set the Play Song controller to ON.
