Monique is indeed a nice and quite unique synth (especially in terms of Osc/filter routing options). I was one of the testers (many thanks to Thomas from Monoplugs for asking me) but did not really have as much time for it as i wanted to as i was also working on other important projects. Hopefully i could spend more time with it soon.

Thanks for the info Sam

Just waiting to get the download link delivered.

First impression is that GUI looks like Biotek

1 hour after submitting my E-mail still no link received, have checked my spam folder too

For a second I thought it was free, but it costs $99

Demo limitations are pretty good though, so anybody should be able to check it out thouroughly before deciding to buy it.

The limitations is no saving, no audio export

am using oatmeal for a long time, if only had monique looks and its gui options (wish for away to hide the keyboard/osci/setup, more free space to resize the gui), perfect, congrats!

Later : I'm surprised that there are no more comments. In my view, Monique deserves more attention.

Yeah, it is kind of weird how ArcSyn goes viral in the forum while others don't

the arcsyn thread was a warzone, no reason this synth (or ANY plugin, really) needs that.

I feel like it has to do with seeing the word "Monophonic". I don't know for sure if that's the case, but it seems like any time a monophonic synth plugin is released it tends to have much less discussion even if it's a really top notch plugin.

Beepstreet's Dagger is a great example of this; It is any amazing monophonic plugin with a killer sound, but its discussion fell by the way side fairly quickly. It even had some of the same responses of "Why isn't this synth talked about more? It's amazing!"

maybe...these synths are that good, and people are busy playing music, instead of arguing pointlessly on this forum (at least, i'd like to imagine that that's the case...)

After demoing this and buying it I decided that this is a topic worth resurrecting. Seems this went a good bit under the radar. I mucked around with it, didn't quite know what I was doing as the interface is a little different, but I was impressed with the different modulation possibilities. Now checking the manual, and it makes much more sense. It can sound purty but can get into some screwed up griminess, especially with the filters. Agressive and experimental. Check it out in case you missed it before, on sale at $25 atm, well worth it. OK, no more purchases for a month I swear(unless the new Madrona Labs comes out).
