Right, sorry Flohr.
I hadn't answered yet mainly because I don't want to make big changes to the parasites anymore...

1. Turn the current L mode into the only LFO range mode. Change M and H to a range of audio rate values. Make the frequency knob a fine tune.
2. Change the rate switches to octave buttons. Up and down. This would seem to be as simple as having them add or subtract 1 volt. Then you could have the large knob be a fine tune. And perhaps even octave switching from one of the gate inputs?
So, 2. is not possible unless we also relocate the mode control (which would become Up), and then I wouldn't know where to put it. Then if I understand correctly, 1. is just tuning the frequencies of each range to a particular situation... which might not be the same as other people's! Hopefully I'll have the time before 2017 to revert the "linear FM" change in the latest version, but that' s all I can promise.
joskery I'm having the same issue. crashes pretty routinely if I engage the PLL in function generator mode...any solutions y'all? re-install, re-calibrate?

That won't change anything unfortunately. I have to fix the bug and also make FM exponential again... sorry, I can't find the time In the meantime you can downgrade to a previous version.
Finally got around to calibrating Tides today and, after going through the calibration routine tides is not oscilating at all. It still cycles through all the functions just fine. But it refuses to actually cycle. No output.

I done screwed up. Figured it out a few minutes ago. I reinstalled stock and calibrated there, all is well. I'll switch it back in a few days, lesson learned.
Also man, Thanks for the rockin' firmwares!

Took me a while to get round to this but eventually got a cheatsheet together for Tides Parasite. There's LOTS to fit in so (so I hope there aren't too many mistakes) it was a bit of a squeeze to get the useful stuff in but hopefully handy for some.
Ok I've been loving my stock tides but I loaded up Parasite last night and HOLY GOOD GOD - game changer. Two Bumps adds so much to Tides as a VCO and the addition of a quantizer is just a cherry on top.
Need to give Two Drunks a try tonight. Hopefully it can save me from purchasing a Wogglebug - though I may need a second Tides for Two Bumps and Two Drunks....

not to discourage you but I just got a wogglebug so that I could use Tides for more stuff.
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried to simulate a random walk (what Two Drunk does) with the Wogglebug? I don't have one but AFAICT it should be enough to patch the Stepped output back into the External input; then the Ego/Id knob would control the step size (fully ego->no movement, fully id->maximum step size, i.e. completely random value each cycle)

will patch this up later today and report back (just got the woggle racked yesterday).

searching for a different Tides thread to post in - yes I tried this, and more or less you can get a walk with this patching on the Woggle. I found it a little sensitive (easy to lock up the walk) but generally a success. ?
I don't know if this is Parasite related or not, but my Tides has stopped producing output on its HIGH and LOW outputs in all modes. Both outputs appear to just remain high.
I have Parasite 1.11 installed on it and have calibrated it. I'm not sure when this started happening, but I believe that those outputs have worked fine in the past.
It is not in PLL mode.
Does anybody have any idea what could have gone wrong?
So, I just uploaded a minor but long-overdue "update" to Tides parasite, v1.12, which more-or-less (cleanly) reverts some questionnable changes from v1.11:
- reverted linear through-zero FM back to exponential FM. It was a bad idea after all, especially because it was messing up the V/Oct tracking (somehow I hadn't realized this beforehand).
- reduced the number of harmonics in Two-Bumps to 16. 28 was just too much, it was impossible to dial a precise harmonic, and the higher ones were buzzy anyway.
As you see, it's kind of a weird update so feel free to upgrade or ignore it if you weren't ever bugged by these features.
In the meantime you can downgrade to a previous version.
