Using new (OS 1.21) ratio offsets for micro tuning?

[soundgoonie]

Hi All,

I know that micro tuning remains a feature request on the DN. (inc. Scala files etc.)

Has anybody had any success with workarounds? I can see that one can tailor individual trigs… but I’m talking about systematic quarter or eighth-tone intervals (like some old school Yamaha synths)

Here’s some background:

Fun with Ratio Offsets

Let’s talk about offsets! What do they actually do? Well, you might have used the Detune parameter before - this does virtually the same thing, but using a clever macro mapping, and only affecting certain operators, that is fine tuned to the algorithms and underlying system of the Digitone engine. This simply adds an offset to the ratio in fine increments, e.g 1.001 (.001 being the offset) - this will introduce a slight drift in the timbre if used for modulation for example. What the ratio o…
