Hi, I would like you to introduce my new synth called **Analog nomad**. This one has presets. 😸

It’s inspired by Roland Junos, Korg MS-20, [Lokomotiv](https://www.kvraudio.com/product/lokomotiv-by-archetype-instruments/details) (VST by Archetype instruments) and my own [Traveller](https://forum-next.cabbageaudio.com/t/traveller-a-monophonic-with-twist/1735). It’s designed to be both simple to understand and flexible to use.

Controls are:

- _offset_ (that `+0` combobox) to transpose your input
- **attack** and **decay** to control envelope
- **hold** to switch on/off sustain
- **mono** to switch info _fake monophony mode_ (same as my Traveller uses)
- **pulse** , **saw** , **sub** and **noise** to mix sound in Juno-escque way
- **width** to set pulse width of pulse and sub waves
- **angle** to set saw shape (from saw at strart through triangle at 50% to reverse saw at end)
- **det** is detune control - when set to anything other than 0 it makes two saw out of one and the second one is detuned by specified amount of cents (actually made this to be able to have that Blade Runner sound)
- **quack** which enables filter following the envelope
- _filter resonance_ control (next to **quack** )
- _filter cutoff_ - that large slider on the bottom
- and finally _volume knob_ which can cause clipping when it’s set to max

You can download [source code](https://tildegit.org/severak/falco/src/branch/master/cabbages/analog_nomad.csd) and [presets for it](https://tildegit.org/severak/falco/src/branch/master/cabbages/analog_nomad.snaps).

I plan to fix some glitches (e.g. reverting to `INIT` preset when it looses focus) and to add more presets.

Another one which I would like to introduce is my four-track recorder **4track** :

It was inspired by TASCAM Portastudio and it’s designed to fit as last part of my chain in [Element](https://kushview.net/) VST host. I am actually using it to record and mix my improvisations and it works well for that.

Code is here and description of usage [in other thread](https://forum-next.cabbageaudio.com/t/solved-multitrack-recorder/1873/5).

Very nice. Keep putting tools like this together and you’ll eventually create an entirely new musical frontend 😉

Thanks for sharing this! Nomad is like a nice “big brother” to Traveller, I really like some of the sounds I can get so easily out of it!

One quick suggestion… it’s not currently velocity sensitive. Maybe you didn’t want it to be, and if so that’s perfectly fine… but it can be easily added by using p5 instead of 1 in the existing main envelopes if you want, like so:

```
    if isustain == 1 then
        kEnv madsr iattack, 0.0001, p5, idecay
    else
        kEnv linsegr 0, iattack, p5, idecay, 0, iattack+idecay, 0
    endif

```

Thanks again, keep up the great work!

Please, share these with me as I am planning to ship Nomad with library of presets.

I have only cheap MIDI controller which has very poor velocity sensitivity. Currently I have no way to test it, so feel free to hack it on your side.

You can test the velocity with the built in keyboard widget. If you press the keys close to the top they will have a low velocity, and near the bottom as a higher velocity. I already added it and tested on my end using that snippet, it works great!
