Prysm 0.5: the filter gets a TYPE (12 or 24 dB low-pass, or a Waldorf-style comb) and a high-pass.

Install: the web installer (Chrome or Edge), or python3 tools/fm1_install.py prysm-0.5.fwsc. Manual: docs/MANUAL.md. Your saved patches carry over (they come in on LP 12, as before).

New

  • Filter TYPE: LP 12, LP 24 (4-pole, steeper), COMB+ and COMB-. On the new TYPE row of the FILTER page, beside DRIVE and HPF.
  • Comb filter, as on the Blofeld: a row of resonant peaks. The FILTER row plays it: CUT is its frequency (64 = C4: with KEY at 127 the peaks sit on the note's harmonics, for plucked strings), RES its feedback, ENV and KEY as usual. COMB- is the hollow version. The COMB row adds DAMP (darker ringing) and SPREAD (the upper peaks stretched apart: bells, bars, metal). The peaks get louder as RES rises.
  • High-pass: 12 dB/oct, no resonance, 16 Hz .. 4.2 kHz (TYPE row, HPF).
  • SPREAD as an LFO and mod envelope destination; CUTOFF moves the comb.

CPU on the FM-1 with everything on: 56 %.
