One of my patrons, Brock Davisson, aka brockstar, (I’m sure you know him and if you don’t, check out his social media for some truly badass guitar-playing/ambient composition) asked for a mod to Mitch Lantz’s excellent “Hackey Guitar Poly Synth,” so that it could have a wet/dry mix. I ended up doing a few more things, too, and then I got Mitch’s approval to share the mod.

Check out Mitch’s original patch here: https://patchstorage.com/hackey-guitar-poly-synth/

Changes:

— In stereo now (before the ins and outs were stereo but the signal path was mono); pitch detection and envelope follower still derived from the left input.

— Two new controls on the front page, both quite value modules (look for two white blocks in a row)
* Resonance: the filters didn’t have resonance before. Now they have a resonance control (that is curtailed to make the resonance not too extreme/gain-y). This gives a little more “range” to the sound.

* Mix: the wet/dry mix. Fully wet is a little louder than the fully dry side.

— The middle stompswitch is now a momentary octave up. There’s a slew limiter after it to give it a bit of a “whammy” feel when you use it. But if you just wanted to be able to switch between normal and octave up, you could change the stompswitch module to latching; it should be easy to see, both the slew limiter and the stompswitch were added to the front page, so it should light up when pressed.
