Here's a short demo that features six of my own sounds. No effects, just EQ and a limiter. I tried to pick some diverse sounds to show a bit of the range of which Phosphor is capable.

Nice. Thank you very much. This at least has gotten me thinking about getting it at some point.

I am not really hearing much that I cannot replicate with what I have. Maybe the quick and dirty approach is the selling point.

Anyone else using this synth and could comment on this? It seems to have fallen off the radar kind of quickly.

This one trick'ish pony for $60, or put $60 towards the Alchemy fund?... Hmmm...

Thanks for posting this demo.

I'd like to be convinced by this synth too as I like some AD effects.

Curiously enough, while fiercely retaining a kind of pure/very_clean sound usually associated with additive synths, I think almost all -if not all- of these patches could be obtained with an FM synth as well, like Dx series ( Maybe at the price of a bit of aliasing in hi freq range sometimes tbh )

But maybe its easier to dial them on Phosphor ?

Then Fm synths can produce much more complex instruments.

Would it be an error to say that Phosphor could be to Fm/Additive what SID/bits units are to some other synths ?

I'd be insterested in people with experience with Phosphor commenting this kind of approach/understanding of the philosophy of the synth.

I might be all wrong btw but this is what the different audio demos make me think of.

Anyone else trying this? I am normally an AD slappy but I am just not feeling it yet. I already own Morphine and Soup. Is Phosphor a unique gem in the additive world?

It takes an AD slappy to know one... I bought it in the first few hours of its release. Ha! I agree with others in saying that it's well worth the sixty bucks - probably on ease of use alone - and that Phosphor definitely gets used - maybe just not a lot. Phosphor does seem to have a unique flavor, and like other AD plugs, it rides well with other AD plugs. CPU use is negligible/unnoticeable on a newer machine (mbp 5,3).

It sounds how it looks: glowing green, strangely old, glassy and weird.

I doubt its makers will appreciate it much, but I will try to dig up more demo noises for ya...

Nicely put!

Thanks for the replies. There is no cure for slappiness, nor do I want one. Looks like I'll get it next paycheck.

ok there's a couple new demos up:

http://soundcloud.com/morendifernt/phosbeats-feb15

it probably goes without saying, but the intro synth is Phosphor, the other two are not Phosphor.

after doing that one i realised there is an old one using only AD plugs, including like 5 instances of Phosphor...:

long one, but a good demo of some of the varied Phosphor sounds. and the other AD i guess. well, maybe.

Thanks for the demos. Very cool.

AD, why can't I quit you?

I am thinking of getting this synth next month, Is anyone using it? I am into Industrial/EBM/Minimal synth so I think it just fits perfectly to add some unique sounds. I alredy own some great synths (ACE, Sytrus, Poizone, etc.) and this looks really easy to use and has a gritty sound.
