Holy Cthulhu! I just downloaded the demo! I'm not easily impressed by softsynths but this is just amazing! So much fun! Just import a wav and play with the time knob for some hours

The interface is nice too! And the controls somehow just "feel right".
Really well done again Image Line!

Cheers
Dennis

win 7 64 bit, ableton live 8.2.5.
didn't crash live but wouldn't recognize the plugin either.
i should already have DEP off for live so i don't think it's that.

same thing happens when I run it standalone:
'Access violation at address 00000000: Write of address 00000000.'
DEP shouldn't matter.

I assume it shows that message when you load the plugin / start the standalone?

yes, when i load the plugin/start the standalone. (only tried DEP because it fixed reaktor & melodyne for me here, and always worth a try).

Could you try the new version 1.0.1 (same location)?

I'm unimpressed by the demo, not only are the demo songs on the site quite poor, but also the presets IMO. I went through every preset, but not one of them impressed me at all. In fact many of them just reminded me of Harmless, which I already own.

Given the features, I expected a lot more from the presets that really show what this thing can do, especially in regards to resynthesis etc.

Anyway, I'll dig into it a bit more later. I'm sure this synth is capable of some very cool things, it's just a pity the preset designers didn't explore this better.

presets sounded pretty good to me. If you release a good bank I would buy it though

The synth was new to them as well, and it takes time to learn it.
I made a call for preset designers last month, if you believe you can do better we're still interested for future updates.

Now if you're talking about the lack of use of resynthesis, there were reasons for that:
-samples eat room in the installer, & make presets load slower
-we have to trust preset designers as for the origin of samples, or restrict them to our own
-but most importantly: in many synths I've tested which have, among others, sampling capabilities, most of the presets were using samples, and I found it weird to bother with many features while in the end preset designers just got lazy & used them as a sampler

I quite like Toby's (video) song, though.

Ok ... this Synth seems to be really something very great and unique, and I'm just starting to like it.
But does this nag-sound really has to be played so annoyingly often? I can't even play a single short line without being disturbed by it.
It's really hard to test this thing that way as I just can't simply enjoy the sound/feel of this synth with all those interrupts.

be happy because it was originally occuring more often and was several times louder, this is the result of me asking Fred to reduce it several times

Note that the FL version doesn't have the noise.

I agree, I think Imageline should use Ilok

Yes you can. Upload one here and I can verify it for you.

Alrighty! Here are two presets made in Harmor demo. Thanks much for checking these Scott.

Hopefully these sound familiar

Summary, yes you can use the demo to make as many presets as you like. These will load as saved in the purchased version.

Regards Scott

Hi Scott, Yes they do! thanks for checking.

Unfortunately there is no any of your works (sound design, music, drawing or whatever) to see, if you really can do something great but critics. These presets may be good or bad, but good people put a lots of work to it (and I'm not speaking just about myself) and did a good job.
There is too much self-exposure in your jugging, but not much true and respect to work of others.
