I agree, very good sounding synth, although the GUI layout takes a little bit to get used to. And for the filter freaks: yes, it's zero delay

My feelings say currently maybe:
U-he Tyrell N6

I didn't even know that one

It has a very pleasant sound, very strong and present in the mid-frequency range.
But the interface?! What is the point in hiding the labels for half the controls?

That's what I hear when I listen to Massive...

I don't have that problem in Rapture or Dimension Pro

Don't forget the "Old members are obliged to diss all best freeware threads, but are free to choose whether to do so using 'One-Ping-Only' or 'This plugin is amazing' answers"

I like these threads! Unfortunately, they are so RARE ...

I never made one, so I will make a new thread:

What is the best "What is the best" thread?

Will that suffice?

Hear hear! All joking aside, OnePingOnly is actually pretty good at what it does.

wow, this one is nice! and i agree, please finish the GUI ffs!
also, i would have preffered it didnt take up the whole screen!
also not as light on CPU as charlatan and synth1. but yes...nice strong sound on it

fluffy_little_something · Thu Jan 17, 2013 10:01 am

Maybe your screen is too small

Looks ok on my 24 inch screen

Maybe that's why it's free, who would pay for a synth with that kind of GUI

The sound is amazing, though, played around some more meanwhile. It can easily compete with the usual 50 to 100-dollar synths in terms of sound quality

It sounds very intense without hitting the red on the meters.

Yes, even that updated Amazona skin for Tyrell is bloody awful (imho!). Try these instead (use the "V2" versions):

That's a modulation matrix, no labels are needed.

It's going to stay the way it is (even in the upcoming version with a new GUI). I like the way you can easily see the modulation source and destination from the GUI layout.

I disagree, I guess most people want labels on their controls. Now, if you yourself don't (because you developed that plugin and thus know it inside out) and think others shouldn't, either, that's your business. I for one have already removed your plugin because of that. Lots of other fish in the sea as they say

Yep, I don't care.

Edit: I don't mean to sound harsh. It's just that often the fun and useful features scratch developers personal itch. Trying to provide for everyone results in boring programs.

fluffy_little_something · Thu Jan 17, 2013 12:56 pm

Well, since your program is free, you can afford that odd attitude. Few people would spend money on that, though...
Nor is a GUI supposed to be exciting, it is supposed to be functional and intuitive (even if you consider that boring), the excitement should come from the sound

It is a pity, though as your synth sounds very good...

You have a good number of posts. So, you're already entitled to the next step: a "what's the worst" thread!

To my knowledge, there's still any KVR rule about a "What is the best 'What is the best'" thread.

Best free synth
