Nice useful synth!
Wish there was a Mac VST 64 bit version! I remember this from my old Windows system, loved it loads.

Quite complicated electronics project back then. Never had the money or courage to start building it ;-) Exciting to hear this baby as a VST !!

Nice sounds. Clear GUI. Too CPU intensive.
Having trouble saving??
I think it's better than using Ni massive, this has more freedom and is smooth. I use it on FL studio 11. Best part it's free and easy to use. I make various types of music tracks and I mainly use it for progressive dubstep synths. Get it now bruh!

I absolutely love this synth! Modular fun for days and days! Very easy to navigate with huge sounds and can create brilliant sound effects. Best free synth I've used.

Just great! Needs a fast CPU though.
I can confirm, this is a fantastic synth emu! Probably one of the best out there. Sounds very analog to me. Performs also well on my machine regarding the high quality of sound.

ONE OF THE SMOOTHEST SOUNDS IVE PLAYED IN TRYING MANY PAYWARE SYNTHS-GET IT WHILE ITS FREE, SOME PRESETS NEED GOOD CPU BUT ITS SOUNDS ARE WORTH IT
I like the sound. I have to put the Zoom 75% to see the entire window into my screen (1366 x 768, widescreen), but some controls look very small. Try to design a window more wider than high.

Works perfect in Ableton on XP32bit!!!! 10% usage at most
40% cpu-usage on a single-core atom netbook for only one voice. not very useful.
well you have a single core atom ffs..

This synth is great, I'm going to use it in my new compositions.
keeps freezing on me... useless
doesn't help anyone saying it is freezing on you. Are u trying to use it in cubase on an atari St 1040fm? Freezing in what OS, on what host ?
Probably the BEST softward synth I have heard, and I started with an Atari 1040st!!!
