Probably too late but,

- fix the 'yellow teeth'
- be more saving with that turquoise color
- remove the white/turquoise gradient off the minimonsta logo (it is butt ugly, sorry

)
- make the red buttons less red/saturated

...and it will be much better.

Looking forward to a demo version to see what it sounds like

its looks fine,its what it sounds like that counts and if your opinion is based on its looks then why are you even here?(not aimed at anyone just a general observation)

oh and can i play with one soon,i been waiting long enough

Bloody gui whores. It looks like a minimoog, its clean, and the knobs move very smooth.
Try making music instead of complaining about shades of colors. Buncha sore chavs.

why this limitation? that's a really big negative point imho..

Sure, it's the sound that counts. But the looks counts as well. In Germany we say "das Auge isst mit!"...

when i watch porn i care how it looks,i turn down the sounds cos i know they will be shit and put on sounds i care about.
does it matter when im listening to motorhead that lemmy is possibly the ugliest man alive today?

also i dont eat my synths

Minimoog panel is not black and smooth:

I think OhmForce's GUIs tend to be fun but a bit amateurish and rough around the edges - these overly shiny knobs remind me of an OhmForce design.

Oops, well if GMedia's artist did this than I think it looks perfect!

And I'm gonna have to talk to Bob Moog about those knobs - too shiney and hard to read.
I was just up too late last night.... I don't care what it looks like if it really sounds like I have my very own minimoog! Release date??? It's ok if you release the AU before the VST versions.....

No, unison is deactivated in polyphony mode (see screenshot) and can be activated only in mono/legato modes.

what a disappointment!

no chance of huge trance pads and chords.
arturia's unison is the same....but i was expecting better from gmedia. oh well.

That's probably a plus for most people

I agree, but for those of a tarnce persuasion, you may have overlooked that there are about 20 ways to thicken up this synth due to the fact that practicaly every control apart from the waveform knobs and the footage knobs can have their own lfo and adsr, and then these adsr/lfo's can be modulated further by wheels , touch, whatever, in free select mode. This makes it possible to add an lfo to each side of the delay to make chorus, flange etc while modulating each oscillators pitch with its own lfo to thicken things up incredibly, pads are a doddle to program on this synth, typical detuned happy house leads are a bit more difficult but face it that kinda sound bit the dust about 5 years ago unless you live in Chav city........

the GUI is also easy to see when your programming (unlike a certain compeditors) i'd advise people to wait till they try the demo before making any judgements based on a screenshot.

The fonts don't seem to have the right weight to me. It may also be an issue with the anti-aliasing, but looking at the picture of the real thing, these fonts just look thin.

As for the knobs: If the specular highlights on the black part of the knobs could be toned down, that would help a lot, IMO. Also, the knob "face" (not sure if that's the right word, but I mean the metallic part) looks like it uses a fake gradient highlight, when an anisotropic highlight would seem more appropriate.

Obviously these are minor points, but slight changes would make the synth look much better overall.

edit: nevermind. I'll bang my head on the desk instead.

Well, you certainly had me confused (and a bit worried) for a few minutes there.

Anyway, here's a picture of a knob face that looks a bit better, IMO.
