Essence FM feature request list
fcorona | Dear Kodamo, been enjoying the hell out of my EFM mk2 for the past few months, it's got some serious sound design capabilities! Thanks for such a great machine. I've been adding items to a request list as I continue to use it, it's getting a bit long so I think it's time I share it, one can dream right? Some of these have been already addressed by other users but thought I include them here anyway, and some might be just me not having dived deep enough into the machine... so apologies in advance is so Here's my 2¢: ModMatrix: -More slots, way more, the more the better -Assign Offset and Ratio as destinations -Operators as modulation sources -Visual feedback on the parameters themselves that are being modulated LFO: -More LFOs! -Finer speed value increments, expressed in Hz or ms -Ability to use Offset and Common simultaneously Amp: -Finer segment resolution (ideally to the single ms) on the X axis, and a MIDI or tempo sync option when looping -Freely adjustable curves for every segment Pitch: -Freely adjustable curves for every segment Operators: -Adjustable smooth interpolation between operator waveforms, modulateable -Feedback function freely assignable to any operator, even if it's still limited to only two per voice. This would save time by not having to mess with the algorithm configuration when suddenly in need of feedback on an operator other than 1 and 2. -Ability to pan individual carrier operators -Realtime wavefolding of waveforms (modulatable via mod matrix) Effects: -Add HP filter on all delays and reverbs -More parameters per effect, ie predelay and diffusion on reverbs; feedback level on phaser, flanger and chorus; modulation on delays and reverbs; Cheers!

Colin Muir Dorward | I think we need midi/tempo sync even when not looping. For example you might have a decay, then a rise followed by release, and you want that second rise to conclude on the 8th-note, for tempo-based pumping vibe. Currently I have to edit all the envelopes by ear each time I change the tempo... it's quite a big job. One more request: For pitch envelopes, can the Y-axis value be listed in cents rather than just a number 0-95? |
| fcorona | Yes to both |
Jazz Paladin | Assigning Feedback Amount to modulation destination would be nice… |
jbowman | I think you can already do this (under the General tab), unless I have misunderstood |
| fcorona | Yes it would be nice to have feedback as a destination in the modmatrix, makes sense |
KODAMO | It is already possible https://kodamo.org/essencefm_manual.php#section30 |
| Jazz Paladin | Very helpful! I didn’t realize it was under the global parameters, I was always looking under Op 1 or Op2! |
| fcorona | Ah yes, you have to select Global, not OP1/2 as I was doing. Thanks K |
Synthetica | Request: When on the Patch>Patchname>Voicename Edit page would be great if we could use the Inc/Dec buttons to edit the next/previous voice in the patch without returning to the layers page. Would save a lot of time for me. |
| KODAMO | Thanks for the suggestions. Lots of them are not possible to do, but we managed to add a second LFO to each voice 👍 Also for the effects you will have the ability to load/save presets. |
| fcorona | Thanks K, I'm sure you'll make many EFM users happy with this update, are you now able to share a time window for it's release? I hope you are also considering adding more (way more) slots to the ModMatrix, at least for me this is way up there on my wish list. |
| KODAMO | Probably in one week, it's almost ready |
| fcorona | That's great! Looking forward to checking it out |
fish233 | awesome, looking forward too! |
| fish233 | 😱🤟 |
pandar1 | Wow, it seems a huge update! Thanks!🤩 |
| jbowman | Thanks a lot! Looking forward to checking this out. |
