Strange Behavior

I experienced some strange behavior with this site. A web site about "Holy Bible" with ads shows up instead of the blog.

Another person experienced the same behavior. It seems to be gone now. I would like to be informed if someone else experiences the same.

Thanks.

Request for Aid

Disease needs aid from a person that has knowledge about DSP and implementing it in Reaktor Core.

If you think you can be helpful, please leave a comment with means to reach you or send an e-mail.

Thanks in advance.

Support and New Home

Disease has a new home which is hosted on a server. The visitors will be able to download Disease without being bothered by free filehosting websites.

Big thanks to Cheyne for the great support.

The new home of Disease is: http://disease.gazeek.com/

Also, with the new home, Disease has a forum. You can access the forum with this link.

The immigration will take some time. Until then, I will update both blogs. This means; this site is still intact.

Snapshot Errors in Disease v0.6B

Snapshot errors in version 0.6B originated from internal wireless connection problems. Reaktor allows each snapshot to have its own setting for wireless connections. After working on an oscilliator, deleting and re-duplicating an oscilliator (to apply the changes to other ones quickly) severes wireless connections.

The connections for the test patch work, but for the ones that come from 0.51B do not.

The problem is in OSC mix module, before the filter unit. If you have the knowledge, you can fix it.

The next version will have the presets revised and fixed.

This is the reason that Disease does not have any snapshots. With every new function, presets become obsolete. There will not be a snapshot bank until the first release, except a few test presets.

With the comprehensive interface, you can design sounds easily.

Comment Settings

The blog settings have been changed to allow more visitors to comment. A small moment of unawareness forced dear visitors to have an account and log in before commenting.

Now everyone is able to comment. In order to prevent spam, verification and moderation systems have been activated.

Feedback Response

I thank you all for the feedback I have received since the first release of Disease, be it negative or positive.

Please inform me before distributing Disease out of this site so that I can keep track of it. And please inform and give credit if you plan to use parts of Disease in your own instrument.

If you think some parts of Disease can be done in a better and/or faster way, I am open to suggestions and information via e-mail. Bear the mission of Disease in mind before you send e-mail. It aims to emulate hypersaw and supersaw sounds only, not the synthesizers themselves.

You can find the e-mail address in "Release Notes" of any Disease release.

Disease still uses too much CPU and lacks snapshots. It is still in its beta stages and lacks many features. These problems will be fixed in future.
