Andy do you think "The Drop" will be released (or a public Beta will be available) this month?

That's a big part of why I'll be glad to see The Drop released - it will bring us one step closer to "next-gen" Cytomic synths (The Drop will of course be very useful in its own right too!).

There is some good news and some bad news.

Good news: I've managed to model a transistor core Sallen Key Filter (SKF), which is the same structure used in the MS20 revision 1. The model wasn't the hard bit, but getting it optimised enough for practical use was very difficult, but it sounded so good I just couldn't stop working on it to get it done.

Warning: high frequency sweeps!!!

Bad news: The Drop won't be released in December. I'm now aiming for mid March, which is very certain. I really didn't manage my time properly with taking on the AAX work as well as a few other things, so I'm really sorry for not making the deadline I set.

More good news: I've just finished work on the LFO section and it has come together very nicely. You can smoothly morph between all the shapes, and even when you tweak out it will auto retrigger and sync to bpm in very music ways.

It took forever, but it got there, and it was well worth the wait!

Andy, your previews sound really good - keep 'em coming

You realize Andy wrote most of DCAM: Synth Squad, right? It's already hard to tell the difference between those instruments and an analog.

How about a (little discounted) unofficial preliminary version (as it is now) for the enthusiasts?

You could start selling it right away!
