PLN, mid-run: "i hear no d7? or its muffed like '# att 0.2' or sth?" — then,
after experimenting: "tried adding 'arp up' before the chord, its now a set of 4
muffed short notes LOL. but d7 still muffed".
Read the SynthDef instead of guessing the synth (CLAUDE.md: never infer a
sound's role from its name, validate). SCLOrkSynths/SynthDefs/bass/moogBass.scd:
arg ... cutoff = 1000, gain = 2.0, att, dec, sus, rel, chorus = 0.7;
filter = MoogFF.ar(in: osc, freq: cutoff * (1.0 + (0.5*filterenv)), gain: gain)
A 4-pole Moog lowpass parked at 1 kHz, on a SynthDef whose own metadata reads
`category: \bass, tags: [\pitched, \bass]`. Every harmonic above 1 kHz is gone at
24 dB/oct. A "CHOEUR GENERATIF" voiced on a bass synth cannot be anything but
mud, and no amount of gain, room or crush was ever going to fix it. `# cutoff
3500` opens it — 2500 warm pad, 3500 choir, 6000 buzzy.
TWO TRAPS in this SynthDef, now written into the file where the next reader
will hit them:
* it DECLARES att/dec/sus/rel and then ignores them — the envelope is a
hardcoded Env.adsr(0.001, 0.3, 0.9, 0.2, amp). That is why PLN's `# sus 2`
did nothing and he commented it out. Shape this voice with legato.
* `gain` in this SynthDef is the MoogFF filter RESONANCE, not a level.
Three more real defects in the same orbit, all found by tooling, all fixed:
* legato 2 -> 1.2. His new arp makes quarter-length notes; 2x overlap smeared
them into each other. That is the "4 muffed short notes".
* d7 had NO cut group at all, so held voices piled up — on a synth that also
carries its own 7-tap chorus. Now `cut 7`.
* crushbus restored, on slot 71 rather than d4's 41. The shared-bus case that
became PV011 twenty minutes ago.
And PV004 caught one PLN had not mentioned: d11 (THE FLUTIST) and d12 (THE
SLEEPWALKER) both sat on `cut 11`, truncating each other instead of layering.
d12 now owns cut 12.
Also in this commit: mafia_sans_serif's d7, whose diagnosis is written up in
b8344ac1. take_5_drops now 0 errors / 0 warnings, silent-eval --seeded ok.
