Really neat synth, however this synth does feature some quirks that make it less reliable then I think it could be. First, the synth seems to be out of tune by default by about one and a half semitones, requiring the user to manually tune the oscillators individually. The next is the ADSR's release times in my opinion should be able to go much longer then they can. They are too short for creating certain sounds. The last quirk has to do with the filter ADSRs. The ADSR will retrigger for all of the notes when a new note is pressed, as opposed to only retriggering for the note that is pressed, and the release seems to only happen when the next note is pressed. (Let me know if any of this is user error).

I do really like this synths rather intuitive workflow and clean UI. While it does have some strange quirks I still think that this synth is fun and powerful.

I put 5 stars to compensate for the previous review. Those Mac users... always complaining (jkofc).

This is a simple-yet-powerful synth and that becomes even more evident when we consider it's still a WIP/alpha software. I really enjoyed how it sounds and its modulation section reminded me a little bit of Odin2, which is another synth with deep capabilities and a straight-forward interface. I think that in the near future Actuate can become a reference FOSS synth alongside not just Odin2, but TAL NoiseMaker and Helm as well.

The MAC version has not been properly packaged yet. It's not in the complete AU format.
Please check again before release.
