Haven't checked out Dexed yet. Will install and try it today.

Kind of weird that Cyclone got so few votes, it is in the same vein, a emu of old digital gear, giving a chance to load those old sample patches.

That one has totally passed me by. Will be fun to try it out.

Either I have so much buyware that I don't bother with freeware anymore, or else I've totally lost track of plugins, cause I don't know a single one of those :oops:

I'll be watching the votes anyway, just in case I missed something unmissable.

Must be nice to have so much disposable income. :clap: (slow clap)

It might be nice for the OP to post the link to these proposed gems.
I've only downloaded one of them and checked out a couple of them on the list.
Of which I eventually removed and use none of now.
I guess you get what you pay for.

Apologies if they're here, but no, I seem to not find it anywhere.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?
So it might still be appropriate to put the links in a comment or Original Post.

Thanks, that banner usually shows up on top, so I wasn't looking there. :ud:

I haven't tried them all, but of the ones I did give a whirl, I kept Dexed and Ragnarök. I voted for Dexed because it is available for all three platforms, and I generally appreciate support for Linux (planning to switch back to Linux down the road).

Post

How can Dexed and XSRDO Patchwork Modular System be included ? Both are still beta :?

I voted Obxd, a great synth :clap:

Same here... So now we may learn what's worth checking out, good.

Cedr was about the same as those old Synthedit synths with the default gui (the bad stereotype), but they are for some reason putting really good skins on their plugins.
