cYrus, you are forgetting that Manuel Schleis was beta-tester of this synth and created lots of factory presets for it

Not to mention that latest Vengeance newsletter mentioned Manuel's compatibility of microQ patches with Komplexer. This is going to be a beast!!! Of course, we still don't know much about upcoming Vengeance VSTi (but how can you go wrong with another ReFX/Vengeance colaboration

)

manuel made only 10 presets for the komplexer

and well, the refx synths doesn't impress so much.. well actually i prefer all my hardwqare synths over software.

but i've the demo version of komplexer now here.. let's see how it really sounds.

Where did you get a demo?!?!? unless you are e-mailing directly from MusikMesse?

10 presets, that's all? I guess they wanted to be selective and didn't want to advertise this synth as another "hands up" german techno-trance-club-making machine

So, how does it sounds to you? Lets us know!!!

Komplexer: 400 parameters
Kubik: 1000s of parameters

=> Kubik = complexer!

if you are not a sounddesigner, but a consumer/producer looking for a "ready sounds" to tweak into your production, it doesn't matter how many parameters you have outside of your basic oscillator/filter/envelope controls. A high quality usable soundset will set it apart from others. IMHO.

ok, here's the demo guys: http://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1TDK ... 7RHF8LTLZQ

to the sound: judge yourself, but i awaited a bit more after the long wait..

thank you, but it doesn't work in FL Studio...

It does load into eXT, but the CPU usage is a bit too much for my humble laptop. Even lowering the number of voices to 1 doesn't help (Komplexer.ini).

Will try again on a better workstation when I get home.

nah don't think it needs that much cpu.. usually a load of 2% cpu usage on my amd x2 4800 but the presets doesn't it's justice.. i^m now tweaking around and can get some decent sounds out of it. the unison mode is a bit dull/muddy and destorys the sound imho. but it has a lot of modulation potential..

CPU usage has peaks of 60-70% here (AMD 2.7, 1GB RAM )! OMG! Excellent sounding, but not usable.

what are the demo limitations?

true, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to prove that kubik is komplexer

it uses only 60% of your CPU...
