I like this synth, I wish it was less expensive.

I noticed there was a brief sale - after the sale ended.

I have messed with the demo a bit, kinda slow to program.

Any owners here?

I was wondering can you import your .wav files and your own images?
Yes I looked briefly for the answer but this was not obvious to me. :roll:

You can import your own samples but not your own images.

The User manual is quite good now actually: http://amaranthaudio.com/help/

I think it's an amazing and unique sounding synth with an obviously unique UI and a unique way to create and manipulate sounds. It's hard to wrap your head around it at first, but with the updated manual it's become pretty acessible if you're open to a rather different approach to the usual knob-tweaking. Here's the workflow description which I find very helpful to get started:

Cycle LE is included with Beat Mag issue 2, 2015:

As always, it will be interesting to see how restricted the LE version is

God, this synth looks like if you were making a film set in the future and you said to your art director "I need you to create a GUI for a synthesizer that might exist in the future" and it was all future and shit.

It's awesome that you can run it full screen too - even if you don't know entirely what you're doing with it, it still looks and sounds great :)

crazy synth with deep modulations, remind me of harmor with time modulation, great for drastic phase change, an inovative and great sounding instrument, a kind of additive wavetable my favorite additive vst for now, i have spend an all day for make a decent sound, but when you have grab the concept, it s so sweet, another must buy on my list,pffff
just one thing, i would like to copy and paste a sample pitch env into a pitch env for resynthesis, same for the ir and another modulator

You might want to check out the thread on Flexion. It appears to be a loose variation on Cycle. There are definitely similarities.

Personally, I was impressed and am looking forward to trying it out.

I am hating the way the browser works now, please bring back having it in its own tab, I can't see any advantage to have to open a new window every time I want to browse patches, and what is most annoying is that you can't load patches in a single click, you have to double click on them which then closes the browser so it doesn't even really function as a browser.

Also can we get rid of the 'do you want to save' reminder dialogue when I change a patch, I don't need the hand holding, if I want to move to a new preset and have not saved the one I was working on that's my problem, most of the time changes made to the preset have been in performance not editing anyway so I just need to be able to change presets fast not have to click a box every time.

Did you try emailing Daven? That's probably going to be the best way to get feedback to him. I suspect he won't see any updates to this thread for a while... :?

Woah, I do! I know what you mean, it's a pain when you were just fiddling, but when you've actually put some work in it? I've lost a couple of things and with all the vertice translations and stuff, your work is essentially irreproducible.

It needs to be an option though.
