I experimented with effects, but in the end, decided against it for this build. I'm not saying that they won't ever appear, but they won't be in the next release. Three reasons for this:I assume there are no onboard FX just like the original?
- People say they like not having the effects. A common thing I hear is someone creating an elaborate preset with plenty of modulations, and then saying it sounds as if it has effects on it.
- UI space. I couldn't fit the effects on the one screen, and the general opinion seems to be that the single tab approach is a big plus.
- Technical reasons. In fitting with the Aspect ethos, you'd expect the effects to also be modulatable. But I struggled to make this work because modulations are per-voice - so what voice should control the effects? And then what would happen when that voice finishes whilst other voices are still playing; should another voice "take over" modulation for the effects. I didn't come up with a satisyfing solution to this and so kicked the ball into the long grass. (This relates to another issue: in Aspect 2, LFOs can be switched into MONO mode and shared between all the voices, but in doing so, you lose the ability to modulate their rate or phase.)
