Just the extra cost for each item sold. Like the cost of the box and the CD and the manual.

I see, i bet that would not be a lot then,.. i dunno tho.
Guess he should answer that one

[mistertoast]

>>imo hardware and software is like comparing apples with fish ( or something HiHi ).

Exactly my point!

[mistertoast]

>>Guess he should answer that one

Haha. He's got no one to answer to but his own business plan. And I wish him well. It's a nice-sounding synth.

And I wish him well. It's a nice-sounding synth.

Agreed

I can imagine that he has invested 6 to 12 months of his time, maybe more. I don't know if he'd make that back if he sold this thing for 50 bucks.

But then again, it's not a question of making back costs. If he truely believes that this thing beats the rest out there and if this proofs to be true, then 159 euro doesn't seem a very weird price to me.

But yeah, a 'group buy' would be nice though

I almost got into the VSTi business. But in the three months between deciding to do some midnight coding and getting to the point where I had cool sounds generated (minus a user interface), I decided that there was too much competition. The market is not very big. And a lot of the people that want your synth are starving artist type. Also, there are stunning free VSTis, like Taurus and NuBi and dozens more.

[thespecialist]

Ha, VSTi business ? Put months/years of your life in, to develop some piece of software just to see it released by a warez group a few days later ? Or even before official release ? Nah, I don't think this is the right type of business if you want to make good money. Only way to make good money on software is to create consumer specific solutions ('consulting'), not hackable 'off the shelve' products like a VSTi. But that's just my 2 cents

yes is a SE synth, cools tricks to hidden this.

<PickyLanguageMode=on>
Yes was a symphonic rock band, not a SE synth.
How can it cool tricks, does it freeze the SynthEdit framework?
</PickyLanguageMode>

And who cares weather it's a SE creation or not, as long as it sounds nice and functions as to be expected...

If it turns out it is an SE synth, i'd be more impressed rather than less. Not enough to pay the rather inflated asking price though.

Oh Yeah ... definatly SE.... I suspect that the Superwave guy is back.

Funny you should say that, my first thought on hearing the
clips was how very much this synth sounded like Superwave. Especially in the way that he slathers all his presets in fx!!

So lets see Thilenth1 for about $200 or SuperwaveP8 for FREE!!

Oh and Mr. Linnerd if you are really the Gill bros. screw you
for not answering my e-mails!!

Cheers....CL

superwaveP8 sucks imo.

[Teksonik]

superwaveP8 sucks imo.

He said from the Netherlands home of.........You guessed it Lennardigital.

Something stinks about the whole story. Here we've got another guy claiming wizz bang technology wrapping it in Synth Edit. No reason to use S.E. at all in this case. Despite what the Dev says this is a $50 synth at best. I think P.T Barnum had a word for people who would pay $200 for this synth. Now I just hope it doesn't screw my system when I delete. Carry on.

Please read my previous replies in this topic. Sylenth1 is NOT using any of SE's modules, the audio processing is completely written in C++ and assembler using SSE instructions.

Comparing synths like Superwave (or Adventus) to Sylenth1 is like comparing cars like Toyota to a Ferrari. Sure, they both drive and they both take you from A to B. But a lot of people would rather buy the Toyota, because it's much cheaper. There are also lots of people who can not understand why someone would even WANT a Ferrari, since a Toyota drives perfectly well too. And that's perfectly fine.

Bottom line is, if you can not even hear the difference between Superwave and Sylenth1 (even if you're testing them side by side), let alone notice the difference in CPU usage, then this synth simply is not for you.

I will be adding more presets to the demo version soon btw, so you'll get a better idea of what it is capable of.

[Lennard]

And please also note that the audio demos at the websites of Superwave and Adventus have both been heavily processed with external effects, plus external samples/sounds have been used.

All audio demos on my site come straight out of Sylenth1 and Sylenth1 only! NO external processing whatsoever has been applied, not even EQ or compression. Even the kickdrum is synthesized by Sylenth1. There's a huge difference there.

If you'd like to compare these synths you should load them all up in your host and browse through their presets, not judge by those audio demos only.

Really? Your code is very interesting.
