Do those donations go to Ichiro ?

Yes, it is for Ichiro.
But guess what?
This fond has the total of 10 euro, from 1 donation.
For the last 4 years.

Besides, Ichiro has a direct link to this site, from his site.
You didn't noticed that?
Do you think...
Ah, nevermind, just relax please.

Page updated, just to make things more clear.

Another developer reported the same thing. I donated something and he was shocked, said I was the first one in years
Seems to be normal with donationware, aka freeware it seems
(Never used this one, thus I never donated anything.)

To be fair, i'm not sure how many people really know the site though. Google Synth1, and you get to the official website, with lots of japanese stuff. Donationware is mostly on a "donate me a beer or 2" base anyway. If you want money for your stuff, charge it. Just like TAL does now, after years of free-/donationware.

Good thing... I wonder if there's Mellotron presets for Synth1, someone know?

I think it is a matter of attitude. Do I think, gee, that guy would like to get something for his stuff, or, gee, this is so great, how can I donate something? I feel guilty if I don't

Very good news.
Nice to see it's still on going

I donated 3 or 4 times for software projects, including TAL, but never got a reply, or a thank you mail. Not that i expected them to fall to their kness, and thank me, but honestly, i at least would have expected a little messag saying "Thank you for your support", but there was nothing. I found that a bit strange tbh. IMO people should charge for their products if they want people to support the development. I think it's weird to say "There you are, mate", and then rely on donations. It's ok when dev's are saying "You can buy me a beer or two if you want to", but if it's really aimed at supporting the development, then i don't get it.

I agree that it is nice to get a little thank you mail. Since developers say themselves that they hardly ever get donations, it can't take a lot of time to reply to donors

I have received a thank you a few times, actually one of the developers was so happy that he sent me a link to another plugin of his that was not available on the site, yet

And another developer made more or less a custom synth for me after a little exchange of mails

fluffy little synththing?

[fluffy_little_something]

Don't make fun of that fluffy little something, it is very sensitive and can easily turn into a ferocious beast and rip your ugly head off

[audiojunkie]

Great news! Now hopefully the iOS version can get completed.

[fluffy_little_something]

If only Synth1 did not look so ugly...

[Rommelaar]

Amazing! I did not quite expect to have synth1 64 bit vst plugin BEFORE Waldorfs Largo 64 bit plugin. Thank you very much

[jbe]

yep, hopefully ios will be next. a good synth deserves a wide audience.
