Free-running, or randomised phase, for Waveform Generator oscillators?

[dannytaurus]

Is it possible to have the Waveform Generator oscillators free-running, or to randomize the phase on note-on?

@Lindon asked here in 2021, but got no response: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/4752/waveform-generator-free-running

@Zerofox97 asked here in 2016, @Christoph-Hart responded but it doesn't look like it was implemented: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/43/would-it-be-easy-to-add-in-a-way-to-control-the-phase-of-synth-oscillators

Looking to make thick synth pads and the waveform re-triggering kills it.

I did a really crappy version of random phase, by writing a polyphonic c++ node that adds small amounts of delay to a voice every time a note is pressed. I'm not proud of it, but it might be something to consider.

@Orvillain Clever idea, but pretty hacky though (no offence! )

I'm gonna start nagging @Christoph-Hart to add it directly to the WG.

In the meantime, I'm gonna spelunk into the source code to see if I can see any way forward.

easy job for scriptnode:

@Christoph-Hart Yes, works great! Is it similarly easy to add it to the built-in modules?

I feel like the more we can do with built-in modules, the smoother the on-ramp to learning HISE.

Feels like having to dive straight into scriptnode for this might prove too steep of a learning curve for someone getting started, like me!

[Christoph Hart]

The idea of scriptnode was precisely to be able to customize stuff like this so that I don‘t have to frankenstein every HISE module with fringe use cases.

You can literally rebuild the waveform generator with a few nodes (minus hardsync)
