No good news from the developer site: "Sorry Mac users, it's Windows only."

Anyway, you could try this...

Yes shame with the limited free synths for Mac.. We've already exhausted most of them although there are a few left and next month will be a cross-platform one.

Any fix for the crackling Bzur? Is this the 32 or 64 bit version? Are you on a 48khz setup?

I didn't find the time yet, but I've seen there's a workaround with a configuration file, where you specify not to use an optimization feature which could lead to such an issue.

By the way, I'm using the 32bit version, 44.1khz

I think I'm going to try my hand at this. I'm very new to producing but I feel it will help me to learn the process of creating a song. I know a little bit about sound design, so I'm looking forward to the experimentation!

I had so much fun with OSC-37 and 38, but I think I'm going to have to sit this one out. I'm working on some guitar performance, and I have to catch up on practice, but I'll be back soon! And I might vote on the Plex contest! Good luck!

What an odd looking instrument!
I have some days off during easter so I'll dl and have a look. If it's even remotely logical to program and use, I'm back in the osc for the first time in at least 12 months!
About time

Good to hear from you K-Bee ... best of luck with Plex2, it's not as tricky as it first appears, so I'm sure you'll squeeze something out of it

Thanks! Definitely an interesting synthesizer. I've already got a few ideas just from messing around with it.

Depending of what it is, it could get VERY ugly

OSC... Ok, I think I'll try again.

Downloading it now. At 167MB surely this must be the biggest osc file yet.

Notice, there are 7 user reviews on the KVR download page and a video demo too at:

And it really sound damn good too!

Ugh, the lazy person in me wants tutorials. But the hard-dedicated person in me is messing around with it and hoping to find and create the sounds I want out of it haha

Problem fixed: I've switched at 48Khz, and the crackles are disappeared.

The problem arised with long sustain presets, as if it was a not very accurately crafted loop; no problem with percussive sounds.
