Wave Manuel is waveshaping synthesizer.
Explore waves no one has experienced before – in stereo.
It has a new kind of morphing oscillator with three parameters: "symmetry", "saturation" and "shaping". It can produce classic analog style waveforms (triangle, saw, pulse) but also anything between – and beyond.
Each oscillator parameter has a dedicated envelope and LFO. Envelope's attack, decay and release times have curve controls for making things just right. LFOs can be used in stereo with 180 degree phase offset so let's get SUPER WIDE.
The sound can be shaped further with frequency modulation and filtering.

Great sounding synth. Thank you!
Crashes in FL Studio and Reaper

It crashes my DAW completely :(
Is there a way to save newly made presets?

Windows 10, Bitwig 4.3, everything works perfectly fine. the controls are a bit unusual, but that also makes it exciting. i like how the sound is formed from different types of distortion. to the people with bugs: you have to report that to the developer if you want it to be solved or if you want to be helpful about it.
...Or the developer could be helpful by pointing out in the first place that it requires a specific CPU configuration (AVX2). There's absolutely no mention here or on the home page of that. If I'd seen that I wouldn't have bothered downloading, installing and giving a negative mark.
Pretty much every Intel CPU since 2013 and every CPU from AMD since 2015 has AVX2 support, so I'm guessing the dev is assuming that most people have a machine that supports this.

Seems promising, but crashes Studio One. And, I do have the recommended AVX2. Hopefully this bug can be fixed, as the plugin seems pretty capable otherwise.

No problems in my reaper. plug and play. Very good sound and really neat way to shape sound without knowing too much synthesis. That said, the presets were way better than I can make, so I want MORE of those.

Did you anyone get a chance to try this? Is there a video perhaps?

Immediately crashes Reaper, unusable. Deleted.

Total and abrupt crash in Soundbridge-64. Hope, it gonna be OK after this crash bug removal.

This plugin crashes on every host I have tried it on (windows version). Would like to see that fixed...
Do you have a CPU that supports AVX2? Otherwise you won't be able to run this plug-ins no matter what. The same goes for everyone here complaining about the plug-in crashing. Check if your CPU supports AVX2 before you install.
I didn't know until after I had downloaded it that it requires AVX2 . Please developers, make this obvious in your descriptions. It's a waste of time and bandwidth otherwise. I know this is just a small file, but the principle is important.
