I would buy a Nordlead if it costs 50 €, of course I would, but that does not mean it's not worth more than that! You suckers! Go to Mercedes Benz and say: "I want to buy a 500 SEL, but I only want to pay 500 €!" And all that discussions about SE, can't hear it anymore! Who cares??? Some peolpe here should really be ashamed of what they write. I knew that I would buy Sylenth when I played the first time on it. It's outstanding in sound and performance! You should be happy that people like Lennard do such a great job! I can't understand some of you
At last - the first sensible thing I've read on here!

I'm looking forward to see what else Lennard (assuming that's his name) pulls out of his hat. I'm well impressed with it, it's just that i'm not in the market for anything new...doesn't mean i can't still want things though. :P

Ok guys, I've got this synth now...and I have to say, I was unimpressed when I demoed it (as I only flicked through the presets), but after actually digging into it and making my own sounds, I'm happy to say there will be a Pro-Sounds release for this coming in 2007. :D It's not a bad synth at all. nice filters and whatnot. I see how people could find it as coming up short on the "revolutionary" front...but But, it's not a bad piece of work in the slightest.

Great news! I agree about the 'revolutionary' comment. But again, for what it does, it does it extremely well. Probably the most analog-ish of all the VA plugins I've tried. And I still can't believe how CPU friendly it is.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with as far as a preset bank goes.

Cheers.

Thanx Advaya :D

I really love the 'Orange theme' in the demos.

(btw Lennard, the flash music player doesn't work in Opera).

This is the first vsti i have ever come across that can actually give me the bass ive been craving for. It surprises me when i read 'not a bad sounding synth' what would be considered good then? I think the price is more than fair for such high quality sound, i don't think its an easy thing to pull off.
I'm really lookin forward to what these guys put out in the future.

I tried the demo and thought it sounded great. A real analog "feel" to the sound.

I only see it as a good thing that DSP coders are facilitated in making plugins by the likes of SE, without necessarily having to learn all the coding for the Windows GUI stuff as well.

The fact that we now have a synth that supposedly has significant perfomance increase over standard SE built in modules, demonstrates the extensibility of SE and can but only serve to increase the reuputation of SE, which yes admittedly does suffer compared to 100% coded plugins.

Lennar: i'd be interested to know if you just have one or two modules that contain the bulk of your code but with a lot of input/output pins, or whether you have many custom small modules for various elements of the synth with maybe just a few input/output pins and are patched up in SE.

ie IN->LennarSynthModule->OUT

or IN-->LennarOsc-->LennarFilter->LennerFX->LennarAmp->OUT
\->LennarOsc-/

I'm sure you get what i mean. My main reason for asking is whether the SE signal flow has much impact on CPU performance, or whether the actual wiring of separate modules has little CPU hit?

On the subject of randomization, i imagine the only problem with using it for presets, whilst you may get some nice sounds, is that you probably end up with particularly unusable modulation settings etc, as presumably it randomizes all of these parameters as well.

If that is the case then i think possibly Lennar's comment was fair. Preset designers ought to spend time on not just the sound but the effects and the modulation to give the preset a particular sound with usable expression variation.

Thanks! I've just tried Opera and it works fine here. Maybe you need to update Opera or Flash?

It's a small amount of modules that do all the processing, pretty much like this:
IN-->LennarOsc-->LennarFilter->LennerFX->OUT
and one huge module that handles all modulation (90 pins :)).

For example, the unison osc is one module, and if you'd have to do that with SE's modules, you'd need lots of oscillator modules, level adjusters, multipliers, switches, etc to get the signal routing and things like stereo and detuning adjustments right.

The wires in SE simply pass buffers from one module to the next, there's not much CPU impact from that. But every module in the audio chain needs to read from and write to those buffers, and that can cause quite a lot of extra CPU usage if you have hundreds of modules (which you would need if you'd build a synth like this with SE's modules).

This is a good idea actually, I was already thinking alike. Something like that will very probably appear in the (near) future.
any news on that freebie?
