Sonic Academy ANA V1.5 OUT NOW!

[gamecat666]

FLStudio 10.9 signature ed
ANA demo (32 bit)
windows xp sp3

opened plugin, rapidly clicking through presets, froze, locked up FL... not a good start :/

Exactly the same thing that happened to me.....same DAW, same specs..... Looks like a bug..........

Yeah looking in to this.

any updates on this? is there a new version safe to try yet?

[Nielzie]

Are those testimonials for real?

100% real.

We just gave a few free copies out and asked what they thought and if we could use it on the site.

Hmm fair enough.. I guess it's a working marketing strategy, but I always get a little suspicious when I read such things. A good synth should sell itself with its own quality imho

ANA 1.03 (03-05-11)

CPU performance optimized on all systems
Filter Response Improved - Now responds much quicker to Automation and manual input.
Switching presets and categories causing hang - Fixed
Duplicating Tracks with ANA causing audio spike - Fixed

should be a lot more stable on all systems.

Also added another 60 odd presets... some awesome classic BP stabs if your in to techno. I also tried to replicate some virus sounds.

We are working on version 1.1 which will include a bunch of new features and a bit of graphic tidying. Should be with us in about 4-6 weeks hopefully.

new features will include:

1 more VA OSC
1 More Noise OSC
White and pink noise on oscs 1-5
polyphonic slide/portamento
Notch, All Pass, and BP/HP 2 pole filters
Master EQ section
FX parameters as modulation sources
Host Sync G-ENV
Graphical updates
Polyphony control
Create/Load banks Categorys

If you have any other request let us know and we will see what we can squeeze in.

Also let us know what you think of the new design.

Very few products sell themselves on the internet nowadays there is soo much stuff out there that you have to do a bit of marketing to get heard. The guys that gave the testimonials obviously like that synth or they wouldn't have put their name to it. Would be silly for us not to use them.

Love your synth btw.

Looking in to this now

[Phil Sonic Academy]

working now!

[gamecat666]

yep that download works now.

but, does the demo not make any sound after the 2 week trial? its saying that its expired (which is true, since I installed the first demo when it came out)
unfortunately it crashed Flstudio within 5 minutes so I couldnt actually demo it then.
Now it runs, but no sound.

[Phil Sonic Academy]

yeah unfortunately there is no way round that for the moment. Will look at that for the next update.

[AlienForce]

Demoing it. That's a nice synth. Overall I like it. And it'd be better to have somewhat larger and more polished GUI. Those small arrows don't work except when choosing wave types. And I've found another bug in the filter section. The 4-Pole filter (not the Vintage one) works as 2-Pole one with weird scaling of the cutoff knob.

Just takes a bit of resonance to kick the 4 Pole in to gear.. its quite different than the 2 Pole mega squelchy and plastic sounding. Great for french disco basses and shimmery pads.

Create/Load banks Categorys

Looking forward to this, as this is a bit of a PITA now, not being able to organize our own presets.

I guess that's why there are no commercial banks available yet.

[Phil Sonic Academy]

Yeah we wanted to do our own file system.. to make it more organized in the long run... i cant stand the .FXB system its a bit too messy.

The update will enable you to create your own banks with proper categories etc. should make it much easier to find the sounds your looking for.

Got it! Thanks.

Liking this new updates, the preset are usable and mainstream. Nice for me to reverse engineer.
