I’ve completed a new version of Diffamator incorporating some of the
suggestions from this list.
Diffamator
Version 0.91
Diffamator is an MIDI controlled FM synth which can be randomized to
find interesting sounds. It features the same algorithms available in
the Yamaha DX7 synth, but might not really sound exactly like it, since
not all of the synth is implemented. It can also store presets in one of
its 30 memory slots.
What’s new in Version 0.91:
* The FM instrument (instrument 1) can now be triggered by MIDI or from
the score because it uses the MIDI interop opcodes.
* An additional ‘i Print’ button has been added, which prints the score
event for the current sound. It is accompanied by Frequency, Duration
and velocity slots to determine the generated score text.
* Keyboard command shortcuts have been added.
* Diffamator can now work without a GUI if the line #define ENABLEFL ##
is commented out. This is useful to have some of the features (and the
sounds!) of diffamator from the terminal (you still need a MIDI
controller to hear diffamator in real-time)
* Added lock toggle which keeps the algorithm locked when randomizing.

Any suggestions or problems, please write!
