i can use command 03 (legato), but it didn’t retrig envelopes

I'll be sure to test that area thoroughly before the next release. As for legato: not triggering envelopes is pretty much what those are all about. If you want to reset the envelope- don't play legato. ;) In both monophonic and portamento modes, playing legato will skip or slide to the next note without reseting the envelope. This is by design and it used for expressive playing. Atlantis's arpeggiator works by playing legato as well. It has a mode where you can reset the envelopes when playing legato called ARPEGGIO ENV, because in a lot of cases you do want the envelope to retrigger on an arp step. Being able to play legato trills in monophonic mode without resetting the envelope is a specific, desirable sound. If you've played with a Minimoog, you know what I mean. I can see where resetting the envelope could make it more like a piano than a synthesizer, which I can dig. Having the envelope reset on portamento (right before the pitch-bend) doesn't sound good. You almost never want that sound. Unless you are making alien sounds. Hmm, I like alien sounds. So, I'll consider adding a PORTAMENTO ENV mode when I get to updating the fileformat next. Should be pretty easy to hook up, then you will be able to make more musical saucer sounds by using portamento rather than modulating frequencies. I'll add a MONOPHONIC ENV mode in there too since hey, why not? Hey Gazzuar-

I've taken them back out until a better method to make them fun and playable occurs to me. I tried adding those 2 new envelope modes last night, and they were not very intuitive or musical.

And what about ring or FM modulation in Atlantis ? Jeremy, in the Pooplog FM Labaratory portamento work ok.

And what about ring or FM modulation in Atlantis ?

I implemented it once long ago, but took it out due to performance issues. I'll put it back on the future considerations list. There is a sin ringmod available in the filter section called "AM RING" that you might enjoy. Ringmod is not a bad idea. I implemented it once long ago, but took it out due to performance issues.

i save preset, and i took file 1.2mb lenght

ATS files contain all 32 programs, and resampled & lossless compressed copies of all user waveforms that they use. There's also the ASS file format which is only the current program and associated waveforms. This is exposed in 0.9m, as are full fxp and fxb support. I recommend saving an .fxp if you only want to save one program, as it is forward-compatable into the nice new patch browsing functionality that is finally working... Yep- that can happen.
