I released new machine through Kontakt Hub. Despite what the name could suggest, the theme is vintage analog synthesizers, it's mainly based on 1979 Siel Orchestra. Also introducing the multi-arp, an arpeggiator which lets you run several arpeggios simultaneously or combine them to create new pattern types.
It was one of those 'I had no idea what I was getting myself into' projects, took way more time and head scratching than I initially assumed... sigh.

Thank you. With the Modwheel instrument, I was only involved in small technical part, it is a collaborative instrument between Modwheel and Shapednoise, who is another party.

There's a demo version available now. Which is a kind of experiment of it's own, can a Kontakt patch have a demo?
So, the demo doesn't save settings and it comes with less samples (one per 8 semitones instead of 1/1), the size is reduced from 1.2 GB to 200MB, besides this, it's just as functional as the normal version. Snapshots are included, demo can load supplied snapshots and it won't load used saved ones.

This is not the first SZCZ's Kontakt instrument I bought.
Following this dev journey is pretty amazing.
You can expect something different/original arising from him, witch is, considering the high ratio of new instruments launched nowadays,
quite impressive.

(Yes. You can always count on me to necro a thread).
I had the opportunity to get my hands on Orchestra Enigmatica recently. I must say - that arpeggiator is probably the most full-featured one I've ever seen in a synth. Going in to OE, I kind of expected what the sounds would sound like - not great, but not bad, either. My biggest disappointment, though, is discovering there's only one LFO and it can only modulate one parameter (out of four) at once. That means my favorite trick, modulating pan and filter cutoff simultaneously, doesn't work here. Of course, there are ways around that limitation, so it's not a biggie. I hope other synth devs can adopt the arpeggiator in OE. (Are you listening, Kilohearts?)

If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

Looking forward to this but I'm unable to download the demo from Loot Audio. I'm in the U.S. so not sure if that's the issue. I get this error message:
