Rainbow Synthesizer
Hi!
So a while ago, I have created a rainbow. Wow! Amazing. Now, I think it looks pretty rad. But there is no DSP to go with it, and I think that's a shame.
As you might have guessed; this is a call for a DSP Synthesizer to go with this UI. :)

I would say, let your imagination to you to cool places, and make something that you think fits. Personally, I can see this being really lush and pretty, until you turn an encoder, and it goes all wobbly, modulates some weird parameters, introduces some dirt that yet still sounds dreamy.
Love to hear from anyone.
(This is no priority for the Alpha, but if anyone comes up with something really awesome just in time, it might just go in there? We'll see). ;-)
I could definitely see this as a pad-based synth with filter sweeps and vibrato/tremolo/phase modulation with encoders to make it all wobbly!
A thing that came to my mind is a Karplus-Strong synthesizer. Squiggly lines could represent strings being plucked. With that you could create harp like sounds, which would work nicely with the Euclidean arp.
Either of those ideas could work - for now, an implementation of the UI could be a step in the right direction. Find a way to draw the squigglies in a linear, animatable way
I got time this week, I’ll give it a shot!
