  • Allow high/low pass filter on FM synth

    @Thetimi said:
    FM is additive synthesis. Low high pass filters are against this concept.

    While of course you are correct that traditional FM doesn't require filters, but many of the most popular hardware and software FM synths available right now have this functionality. Operator, Digitone, etc are all hailed as synths that make FM more friendly and approachable, which certainly feels like it's in line with Deluge's overall approach to music making.

    I guess the question is whether or not we care more about the purity of FM synthesis as an exclusively additive form of synthesis, or more about approachability and user-friendliness.

    The bad thing about it is, that you miss the deluge for some time (weeks / months ?), not making music.
    It would be nice if there were some shops in the area who could fit the screen/chip/pcb, makes shipping a lot cheaper and no worries about import duties..

    Yeah, this would be nice if there were more options, but I imagine it's a big headache for a company of Synthstrom's size to find trustworthy repair facilities where they're confident your device won't be damaged in the process. But the cost makes it feel real bad for folks in regions where the return shipping isn't feasible. They did mention that so long as you're the original owner then you shouldn't have to pay duty/tax again, but it wouldn't be the first time that someone claims you'll be exempt and then you get stuck with a bill on receipt of item.
