Dune high frequencies locked at specific pitch

[Madrayken]

I don't know if this is a bug or an optimisation...
At *very* high frequencies, the frequencies are no longer affected by midi/input, and instead play a single (very high) flat pitch. It's not really a problem, more an odd quirk I'll need to rememeber if I try making 'twinkly' type sounds using this extreme register.

I compared output with various other synths and only Dune has this issue, which leads me to believe it's more likely a bug.

I've not bought a synth in quite a while, so congratulations on getting me to part with my cash. Dune is excellent. Thanks!

Welcome to the DUNE club and the forums here........

How high of a frequency are you talking about ? Dog whistle high or ?

Ok I just tried it and can confirm the issue here but the frequency is so high as to cause considerable discomfort. I'd say the behavior is intentional as Synapse probably didn't think anyone would want to torture the neighborhood dogs with such high frequencies......

Or it's some Nyquist Aliasing Voodoo Mathmatics deal........

Yeah, that was my suspicion, too.

Code: Select all

float getFinalPitch(float initial_frequency)
{
       float final_frequency = initial_frequency;
       if(final_frequency > MAX_REASONABLE_FOR_HUMAN_COMFORT)
       {
            final_frequency = MAX_REASONABLE_FOR_HUMAN_COMFORT;
       }

       return final_frequency;
}

Great bit of code there...... Rich was around earlier....maybe he'll pop in with an answer.....
