Preset recall! After modifying a preset it would be nice to return to the original without having to reload the plugin

Oh and what's been said before... the synth is not ground-breaking but I do like the sound of KiloHearts One and it is growing on me.

Not a bad idea. We've been talking about "Init patch" as a command in the program context menu, but maybe "Revert" could be useful as well.

I'd like to see a filter bypass option to be able to quickly bypass one of the filters when Smile

Also, the kind of sound from this fine little synth really begs for an arpeggiator! Help

Filter bypass is not a bad idea. Adding that on our list of things to evaluate. Wink

Arpeggiator is something we've intentionally left out. We believe it adds to the complexity of the synth in a way that's not really beneficial. If people really really want it we might reconsider, but at this point we have no plans on adding it.

Really? Surprised A standard arp with just controllers for Rate (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc.), Mode (up, down, up/down, etc.) and Octave (0, 1, 2, etc.) is really not complex at all and adds great flexibility.

And I'm sure even a beginner would love to be able to use (and perhaps be more impressed with) presets that go like "taa ta dii ta taa ta diii" instead of only "taaaaaaaa". Laughing

I just mean that there are other, probably better, ways of getting an arpeggiator anyway, so it feels a bit superfluous. However, the "preset reason" is indeed something we've discussed. If you've read at our site you know how we feel about effects and presets. Very Happy

I noticed that the manual is only available from the website. It could be handy if it was installed with the plugin (and a link to it in start menu perhaps) so that users always can reach for it (and know of its existance) without having to go and search for it online Smile

In a patch I want to use 2 oscillators and a noise, in the current configuration i'm forced to sacrifice one of the oscillators to have a noise source. It is a bit more flexible if the Sub can also be toggled into a noise generator whose color is changed by the shape button, that way I can mix in 2 oscillators with it. Am I making sense?

Ah, gotcha. Well, not totally sure that'd fit very nicely in, and we kind of have to draw the line somewhere. But, never say never. We'll think about it. Smile

We've left out extra things in the installer just because we want to keep it as lean as possible. We just think it's cleaner to not add any extra folders outside vstplugins. But, it could indeed be an optional component. Adding it on the "things to think about". Smile

Yeah and that's exactly what I appreciate. I don't mind having to download the manual from the site. And it's also available for people without having to install a demo.

So what good use does the installer have then Shrug

If you want lean and mean I'd rather think about dll only to download.

But if you decide to use an installer, then it sounds pretty logical to me to make good use of it and put a manual in there and links to it (and also perhaps link to the website) in the start menu, etc. That makes more sense to me.

Well, it simplifies the process of putting the DLLs in the right place if you're not that computer literate. But yeah, we'll definitely think about it. Smile
