[swampmonster50]

looking forward to trying this out

thanks

[Big Tick]

Just a few days now before taking the jump, unless a tester find some really nasty bugs I just need to release Rhino 2.09 first, as the current version doesn't work with Zen.

[swampmonster50]

thanks for doing this for free!!

is there an updated list anywhere with the plugins that are compatible?

[Big Tick]

Sure - look here.

[swampmonster50]

great ....thanks, i have a few of those synths.... any plans to add support for albino, v station & wusikstation?


also will zen work as an effect plugin?

[Big Tick]

I just exchanged with WilliamK, so you can consider WusikStation and Eve already supported.

For Albino, you may want to give Rob Papen a nudge - he never replied to my emails. Technically, there wouldn't be any problems supporting it (as well as Predator and Blue)

The same for V-station.

Thanks for this 'Tick. This seems to be really taking off. I love using the beta so far. It's worked very well for me.

I'm using NI Reaktor exclusively for synths and drums. Any hope getting support for it?

[Big Tick]

Can you use Reaktor as a vst plugin ? If yes, then it might be possible. NI won't make it easy in any way, though - they just asked me not to include the factory content of their synths (Absynths, FM8, ...) in Zen.

[Kriminal]

Sure - look here.

i had a look at the list

seems small and has some curious synths...i know its new, and you hope to ad ALL synths, but i was expecting to see names like Alchemy,Omnisphere, NI stuff, Albino etc from the off....?

All synths in the current list were requested by users. As for NI stuff, as I said, NI didn't give me permission to include their factory content in Zen, since they see this as competing with Kore.

I don't own any of the synths you list, so I can't test them - but I can still add them, though. The only thing I need is a fxp file.

So:

If you want a synth added, just send me a fxp file made with it..

ok (sorry, i see you kinda answered a bit of my question/s in the thread already... )

i'll send you a few banks over later of some stuff (assuming they use fxp's)

[Big Tick]

You can easily make a fxp with minihost - this also works with vsti's that use their own format.

sorry, i meant fxb/banks, synths like minimonsta/albine etc wont load banks (tho albino does load single fxp's)

ive sent you a few banks anyway

This app is a really great idea, thanks for doing this and making it free.

And as I was saying to Tick, the great thing about Wusik Station Drawable-Waveforms, is that they get stored with the preset.
