For the download version? I have a yearly pass, but was planning on buying the download. Happy to wait if there will be a further discount.Urs wrote:(note: We're working with Groove3 to get a coupon code for our users... give us a few days)

I watched that tutorial last month or so when Groove3 offered a trial visitor's membership. It was great. I was especially floored by the preset demonstrated at the end of the course. Man, the dude can program and really showed off Bazille's potential.

Found a bug, at least I hope it's a bug.. I routed osc 1 + 2 into filter 1, BP6 to put 1, filter gain 26,50, resonance well into the late seventies... Whenever I turn the filter cutoff over 127 sound is lost and the oscilloscope just shows a flat line with an occasional pulse that reaches the middle. Strangely straight lines, I've never seen what appears to be completely straight lines in the Bazille oscilloscope so far..
EDIT: I've e-mailed you guys, I assume the "old" support e-mail adress is still in use but let me know if for some reason it isn't.
This doesn't seem repeatable with just any oscillator settings, only the ones I experimentally set up with some PD modulation, some self AM for each osc and a little touch of modulated fractalization. I'll e-mail you the patch as soon as I figure out how to do that, it consistently behaves this way also when the project is recalled. I'm hosting Bazille in FL Studio 11.1.1 on Windows 7, 32-bit host and plugin but 64-bit OS.EDIT: I've e-mailed you guys, I assume the "old" support e-mail adress is still in use but let me know if for some reason it isn't.

Hey V-GER,
many thanks for your post!
Yes, it's a bug. We're aware of it and try to fix it asap.
As a workaround, i suggest to save the affected preset(s) and to recall them manually via
Bazille after having loaded your project. They should then play just fine.
Let me know, whether this helps.
Very sorry for the inconvenience!
Cheers,
Michael

Wow, 1700 sure makes a huge difference between the beta and release versions, especially for those that are new to modular. I was set on Serum (which I find has hardly any presets that suit my taste, but is easy to program), but after checking out Bazille 1.0 I might get that instead.
The only downside of 1700 presets is it makes the existing limitations of the U-He patch browsers more apparent. I'm sure this has been discussed to death, and there are improvements forthcoming, but for me the biggest improvement with the least amount of coding would be an option to show ONLY favourites. That way I can go through the 1700 once, select the ones I like, then at the click of a button have easy access to 300 or so of my favourites. That would be a heck of a lot easier than marking 1400 as junk.
Also, being able to have an option to set HQ on automatically on render (like Diva) would be welcomed.
Aside from that, great job on the synth and congrats on the release!

You could create a folder, then drag+drop your favourites there. If you hold ALT, it will (should) copy instead of move.

By the way: Here is a song where all synth sounds (also the Stevie Wonder harmonica) are from Bazille:

Got Bazille last night, slightly impulsively, but am more than happy with it.
What a beautiful creation... there's something special about passionate german engineering that shines through. You know a lot of heart and soul went into it.
You must have a midi controller to really appreciate this beast; I almost regretting buying one without Aftertouch just for this synth. I have yet to even jump into creating my own patches -- just tweaking presets and familiarizing myself with it -- but I swear, every patch's preset modwheel function does EXACTLY what you think it will, or in some cases, something even more amazing.
I struggle to find something negative, but Atom did touch on something:
But that's really it. Really.
So, I'm off to create my own patches. I'll return if I stumble on something spectacular.
PS: Has everyone checked out the 'GearPorn' layout option? Mmmmm

I had this exact thought when I saw the patch selection window with the knowledge that there are a godton of presets. A search feature, favorite ability, or something of the ilk would vastly improve this... doesn't have to be 'flashy' like massive's either, just something simple so it's not such a jumbled mess of folder navigation.AtomOfScent wrote:The only downside of 1700 presets is it makes the existing limitations of the U-He patch browsers more apparent.

Preset search… yes yes… I recently ran into this myself. Couldn't find a preset that I knew was there. Once I figure out how our feature requests get prioritised I might vote this up.

It does, read the manual about MIDI Programs folder, page 14. This method pertains for ALL u-he plugins.

...bought it some days ago, it's a no-brainer, but a very special one...
i think it's due to the conception of bazille that the 1700 presets are a huge work to go through, since
bazille is a perfect solution for very ambivalent areas of sounds....
It's great for 80ies sounds in the tradition of the CZ-series, but it's also a tool for soundscapes that fill the gap between sounddesign and very special tonal sounds. Personally, i'm interested in the latter and i realize that i will have to dive into the programming of this workhorse to make it really work for me (and also to be able to modify presets efficiently).
And to be honest, for me that's the reason why the u-he synths are perfect tools: they allow sounds that are in such a way organic that they perfectly can be merged with orchestral sounds. It's a kind of "organic complexity" in the sounds that is really astonishing...
To those who are distraceted by the huge amount of presets:
I think it's the best thing to take some time going through them. When i buy a new synth, i usually make some "sketchbook"-songs, where i go through the sounds and when i found an inspiring one, i record a phrase, than open the next instance and go to the next sounds, till i find another inspiring one.
And very often, i modify sounds on the fly (to my needs) and restore them with a new version, while describing the modification in the info window.
In short: a huge thank-you to the u-he-team for this synth!

Bazille so far...
I find it a constant battle between user and synth, but in a very good way. I think I know what I'm doing about 20% of the time, and then suddenly another perspective opens up and I realise I know even less.
Not that I ever thought I was a synth wizz, but now I'm really in the jungle. Math has become more important, as well as lateral thinking.
I think I know now where the name (and what it rhymes with) comes from.
Occasionally I hate it and want to run back to Zebra crying, but I cannot resist the Bazille and its brave new world.
I love this thing.
