The program homepage is here:

The wave editor included with Macaw is also excellent.

....good workflow...
I never got that far, it crashed on the settings page here, gave a error message and contunued giving the same message every time I tried to launch it again, even after a reboot, so it was soon uninstalled.

i have been playing around with this for a couple of hours and i get a consistent crash using universal. it happens when i play around with the pitch multipoint envelope editor in any oscillator. happens in macaw, reaper and podium. shame because this synth looks incredible for sound design :(

will try this on my lappy,but could be cool with a nice new skin??

Pretty impressive package of freebies. Thanks to the author.

Does it comes with an installer, or just a folder with the program, etc?


Edit: Never mind, just saw it's an installer. Probably will put crap in the installer.
Eventually something intelligent will appear written here. Watch this space.

I defy anyone to work with that GUI for three days or more and remain sane.

I played with this for a while way back when it was DeltaSP... lots of crashes... maybe it's stabilised now?

being open source this could become really immense.
the foundations for a great free sequencer are there....it neeeds more work.
needs its own forum

There are some cool features, like the "composer". I don't say it's perfect, or killer, but really interesting. Some parts are really well done, and don't forget it's the work of a single author, so obviously it's not tailored for the wider audience.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnks

A great mothership! Now i must search an alien who gives me lessons :-o

yeah the synths and fx are great,but i cant work in that sequencer,the GUI,doesent do it justice

I don't mind the look of the sequencer, just adjust the theme yourself until you have some clearer colours, and it looks much better.

The sheer range of options is very impressive, and I've had no crashes so far.
I think this could be the next best freeware DAW, all it needs is a new skin and it would complete. I love it!

This is actually kinda interesting and seems to work under Wine in Linux (need more testing).
Was this version before DeltaSP or after DeltaSP?

Happiness is the hidden behind the obvious.

It's the latest devellopement of what started as DeltaSP I think.
