We spoke about this before, but I’d really, really love to have oscillators default to a C (not an A as they do now), when inserting them. I could be wrong, but I imagine most people work from 0V=C rather than 0V=A.
Currently I have to change the 27.5 to 32.703 every time, and to be honest, this always includes
turning V/oct to 3600 to get it into audible range
trying to hit “three steps up” on the f0
me leaning over to my acoustic piano and checking it I in fact dialed in a C
turning V/oct back to 0
Might seem like a small thing, but I’d really appreciate the change. If lots of people prefer A as default, maybe it could go in System Settings…
Hehe. Obviously it is the kitten’s fault for being too cute for its own good.
FYI, my approach will probably not be to use System Settings. I consider System Settings as the last resort. Instead it will be something like saving a default preset which will be applied to a unit upon insertion. This way all units and all parameters can have a default setting.
That reminds me that you can already sort of do this. Just designate a folder for “default unit presets” and save a preset of the unit in question with F0 set to A. Then use the preset subscreen of the unit selection screen to insert the unit with that preset.
A default preset system would be awesome! There are other settings throughout the units ecosystem that I always change (like fade -> 0ms on sample players), that could benefit from this!
FWIW, just another vote for changing the default tuning from A to C.
Mainly answering in this thread as it is quite comforting to know that I am not the only person who is sort of thrown off by having what my mind perceives as “impure” values, like the V/Oct Bias set to -300: I know it is a perfectly valid way, and I am happy that this way exists to solve the issue, yet each time I look at this value, I’m like “I wish it would be 0”.
When I programmed my Yamaha TX802 over 30 years ago, values typically ranged from 0 to 99, which had to entered via a numerical keypad. I usually used values 0, 99, and integer multiples of 5, like 5, 10, 15 … I really had to force myself to use something like 7.
