You'll need to speak Japanese. While trolling around on the net, came across these:

They look interesting. Will play around & see the sounds. Report later. Ta!

yes, they are nice.
posted a couple of months ago, I believe. very 80's in appearance and sound, so I guess they are cool again!

Marvin drove up my alley, parked and pissed.

Niiice take the dog out, too, Marv.

As the Pop Group once sang "GENIUS or LUNATIC?"

Very 80s sound, it seems like. Me like very much. I tried Synthestra and Casiopea - simple, so pretty easy to program, but a nice range of sounds. They have audio demos, which is a very nice touch.

You mean the VSTi's themselves? How did you access them?

I clicked the "Download ____" links (next to the floppy disc icons) on the page. Pretty straightforward. The audio demos are the links next to the audio cassette icons.

Oh, those! I thought you meant actually IN the VSTi, the way old home 'teaching' synths always had a bank of demo songs. Would have been totally useless, but kitschy cool.

Ditto on that, those are two of the three that I kept in my VST folder OC-10 being the other.

Casiopia is great. It is fairly simple in design but so many cutting sounds can be made with its PD oscillators and various wave types. I am a sucker for those PD synths out there.

I talk like a Marvin sometimes.

"Oh goody, my Iludium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator!"

"I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed."

I always liked the Waveform Memory Synthesizer - OC-10

Here's a link for English-speakers to see the site

these ones are not bad as sound, indeed, either..
the GUI is a retro cult somehow:veeeeeeery Yamaha DX series or even better TX...my TX7 module looks practically the same
Peace

Have you talked to Marvin?
