As you get higher the notes (even though they're the same) sound brighter.
Yeah this is something I wrestled with for a while, I tried using a single note and spanning it with Loris and catching the harsh frequencies with a dynamic EQ but it just didn't sound the same as sampling the higher string/fret
And obviously there is a huge difference between playing the open strings and playing the same note fretted.
A caveat with this is that (at least in my experience) bright strings are sought after in aggressive music as they help cut through dense mixes, open strings are a lot brighter so I've intentionally used the lower open samples as the "main samples" that take up most of the keyrange
finding a balance between brightness without it being too harsh on the higher notes was key

You can use more user friendly general terms rather than using Waveguides and Residue.
Yeah this is definitely something I'm still battling with, I heard Alex Hormozi mention that the average american reads at a 3rd grade level so the writecopy should be fed to a literacy test algorithm. that being said, I think the average VI enthusiast isn't your typical customer, and they're generally more curious about the "story" of an instrument or piece of software, so I'm trying to find a copy that's easy enough to read, while still having some of that technical aspect
Plus "digital waveguide" sounds way cooler than "wavetable synth" 😎
They can download it after Newsletter Subscription.
There's a free tier for the Patreon which can essentially serve as a mailing list, the website needs to be Static to work with github pages, and there's a button inside the plugin to open the store page instantly so I'm trying to avoid "gatekeeping" the download behind a signup, I personally hate the friction and I'm trying to keep it as few steps as possible between discovering the instrument, and having it on the users HDD
I really appreciate the feedback guys! It's all going on the blackboard (btw I bought sticky blackboard paper for like $4 and it's the best investment I've ever made)
