Interesting that they venture into the synth market. Judging from the price they want to compete with top synths. And judging from the development team behind it, they might as well achieve that.

It is geared at film score, special effects etc., I take it?

Synplant + Operator + samples as in Blue II. The interface is all macro, so you're in effect sound browsing/exploring an algorithm, as in u-he's new reverb.

I hope I can make some demos with a version for my video channel so you can take a look at it

hmm something "un special" or "flat" about the sound in the demo video.. not my cup of tea certainly not at 150. Just an initial quick first thought though, nothing more.

$150 + tax that is a bit to pay

The devs/designers of Biotek come with a lot of experience for sure:

Wolfram Franke -> Waldorf -> Largo, PPG 2V, 3V
Taiho Yamada -> Alesis -> QuadraSynth, Andromeda, Fusion

Does their synth activity mean that their DAW is now finished and bug-free?

ahh that probably explains why so far i am not impressed... don't like the sound of most of the waldorf vsti's.

would be nice to try a demo. initial thoughts it seems a bit expensive however its target market wont just be Tracktion users its not locked to Tracktion which makes me wonder what they have in store for T7.

Well, there was only one bug in 6.2.4 that was bothering me and they fixed it in 6.3 so yeah - I guess they're done (until 7)

"4 OP FM with any sound source like VA waveforms or samples"

What does that actually mean, and what other plug(s) can it be compared with?

Not much of a synth guy, but yeah $150 seems kind a steep .

Looks designed with 'touch' in mind.
All JUCE plugs are multi touch
