This must be a joke. The web page doesn't even load.

Thanks for the free plug.
It sounds ok and is not without potential, but even with such a big gui, I'm finding it a bit tough to make out the red on black text.
Any chance of using a lighter, easier to read colour?

You are not the first to tell me this, & I can see it fine - and I have REALLY bad eyes (LOL).
I just got a new LCD monitor that is widescreen & supports higher res, and forgot about how huge & cut off some VST's were on my old one. (Reaktor, Audjoo Helix) I'll try to keep this in mind when skinning but there's a display bug in SE & if you shove the modules too close together they REALLY get unreadable, sometimes unusable. I've begged Jeff to fix this, but I think he has a lot on his plate. To be honest, the GUI was HELL for me. It really interrupted workflow & is one of the reasons there are only 50 presets.

Hils93 has done a new skin for me that is much easier on the eyes, so I'll spend the next few days trying not to screw it up and will post it as soon as I can.

this is one of those " can't please all the people all the time" things ( which kinda dumb considering it's free though ) I love big gui's , but I have a high resolution LCD , and it's only worth a dam at the native resolution , so I love big gui's .

Thanks for this great little number .

if the one that I've done for this synth works out I can only say its not smaller, about the same size...almost.

I can't seem to get ShiversArp(C) patch tuned to my other vsts.
Any hints on aligning this to standard pitch?

I'm not sure it is as you describe, especially as Osiris admits that the gui isn't to his liking or one of his strong points as a dev.
That it's free is immaterial.
If one can't read the red on black type then it's not going to fly, no matter the cost.
Maybe it's why Predator has the option to change to white text.

I'm looking forward to trying the new skin.
The size doesn't really matter. I just hope I can read it.

MusicalGym - Fine tune on Osc 1 (not Detune, that's for the detuned saws)and fine on O2. I need to look at the preset. It could have Xmod enabled which cross modulates between oscillators and make weird frequencies.

Found the culprit MG - On the Modulation Matrix the Velocity is set to pitch & you can try to tune it with the depth knob, or turn it off. It affects pitch. : )

Just installed it. The string pads sound very fat. I like it.

Installation on Receptor was a no brainer.
GUI is fine on my lcd screen.

Good work!

p.s. GUI a litte too big for receptor. Missing about 15-20% on the right side.
;O)

Thanks very much, osiris, for tracking that down.
Now I'll be able to use some more vsts with the sequence I'm playing with.

Edit: Depth adjustment handled the tuning. Nice job!

@ Meo - Good now I know I'm not crazy. Is there anyway you can send me a screenshot of this?
I posted this issue on the SE Yahoo forum several months before release & got no response from Jeff. The same thing happens to me in Orion Platinum. Same missing 10% on the right side. Everything else I have-(VSTHost, Reaper, Samplitude LE), it shows up fine.
So, I don't know if this is a host software issue, a Synthedit issue, or a Skinman issue. I thought it might be because my Orion is several years old & I could never duplicate this , but now this in Receptor.
I need to do some research & put other types of GUI's on it to see if the same thing happens.
You're a great help Meo. I've done a preliminary version of Pollyate 2.0 with CPU optimization and a great new skin from Hils93, so this is VERY important.
Thanks, -O-

I've just finished my little experiment. Definitely not a Skinman issue. Possibly host issue as it loads fine in all hosts except Orion Platinum and Receptor(so far as I know). I've contacted Jeff M & will hopefully have an answer soon.
