No reason why it shouldnt. What about giving the demo a try ?

Okay it worked!
I hope the full does also, I just ordered it
EDIT: yep it does!
What's a bit strange though... I can't see my name I registered to.
Instead I see "BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV". Is that intended?
Best,
Stevie

No, that's not normal...
I assume you put your key file in the proper location ?

Exactly. Let good=good.
I don't know how you demo synths but I've found this method to be really helpful.
Have an audio looper next to it like Angstroloop. Don't keep it in record. Find a nice drum/percussion beat and keep that muted in an adjacent track. Start going through the presets. If I make it through a few dozen of them without being tempted to hit record in my looper and unmute the drums, I uninstall the software. If I'm inspired to start making music or further tweak the sounds it then becomes a matter of comparison and money. Do you have another similar synth? Is the new synth better or unique in a way that makes it desirable? Is there another synth that's similar that you haven't tried? (if so, repeat above) If you find yourself inspired to make music with the competitor, then you have to have a... SYNTH OFF! Compare the two and see which one you like better. I never worry about support (usually if it goes though my demo process I won't need it) or "will there be a new version."
Hope this helps,
Mark

How do you get the tutorials to work? The last one opens with an .fxb file and no way to run it.Big Tick wrote:Big Tick is still alive.

you could argue that you do not need wavesequencing at all with Rhino, since you can use both fm and waveshaping instead to gradually morph the oscillator-shapes - of course you know this better than anyone else, Daniel, but perhaps not all the others are aware of this...daniel wrote:Wavesequencing, in the manner most other synths do this, is done a little differently on Rhino. Each of Rhino's Oscs can be given a different wave (or multi-wave sample) and them cycled through with the envelopes. If each Osc is given a different velocity range, the waves can be cycled through by how hard you play.
Another way to do this is to create a sample of a wavesequence and play that through Rhino taking advantage of it's filters, fx, etc. Each Osc can have a different wavesequenced sample(s) so there exist many possibilities for sonic complexities. For one bank I spliced different waves together from vastly different sources in Wavelab and created some unique sounds. Listen to DigiWaves 5 at:

You are correct. Or, try FM and waveshaping with tempo-synced rhythmic envelopes. Or,...
For me , the mark of a great synth is one that let's a programmer approach sound design in many different ways. Shine, Rhino, shine...

If I buy the current version will it include the update to 2.5 ?Big Tick wrote:Indeed... Big Tick is still alive... Don't expect tons of new features in Rhino soon, though, as most of my time is spent on the Mac version right now. But I definitely know people want a version with independant oscs panning, so this will probably be one of the first new features I get in Rhino 2.5

yeah updates are free... which is why I don't commit to deadlines, by the way.
