Any chance for those already owning Phonec (or other PM plugs for that matter) to getthe PM bundle at a lower price?
There is a sale going on right now that can save you quite a bit. However, maybe when this sale ends I'll come up with some kind of special offer for current customers for the month of April. Stay tuned.

Did you lose your customer/mailing list? :D

Anyway, good to see you are still improving your synth. It is an unusual and interesting set of features in one package :) It would be missed in the 64-bit world, should you not be able to upgrade it because of missing custom modules.

No, but spam filters have a way of losing emails :)

You're a saliva donor, too? :D

I have been playing around with it for a while now. Although it might not have been intended as such it can be a powerful special effects machine thanks to the modulation options and effects, producing dark as well as harsh metal sounds. But it can also sound very lovely, producing warm pads floating in the air thanks to the additional HP filter, panning as modulation target, the melt feature, etc., even Rhodes piano sounds are no problem. The arp and sequencer are also pretty good in combination with the snappy sounds Phonec can produce. A pretty complete synth by now :)

The synth works well but the phonec_fx don't work at all in my FL Studio v9. No sound is passing through it, it just mute the channel. Any idea what it might be that I'm doing wrong?

It should work just like any other effect plugin, I have not tested in FLStudio, but will do so tonight to see what's going wrong. If it's something simple, I'll fix it asap. Also, and I did set this to max by default on the effect version, but check the 'Audio' level on the bottom right of the 'Mixer' panel just to make sure it's at an audible level, otherwise you wont hear incoming signal passing through it.

I'm glad you're discovering Phonec's capabilities :)
I'm currently working on a new patchbank that will explore sinewaves, FM sounds, bells, pianos and organs. I'm going to try and make 128 patches. Will post back in this thread when it's ready.

It does work, but I have to turn Phonec's 3 internal oscillators to zero in order to keep Phonec from sounding at the same time. Is that the way it is supposed to be done? :)

Yes, pretty versatile :) Sometimes I get interesting sounds accidentally, especially when I change something in the modulation section. With so many parameters planning a sound and building it from scratch is not so easy.

Am I just blind or is there no PW modulation for the two oscillators? There seems to be PWM for the LFO pulse, though...

If you're using it as an instrument maybe, but the effect version normally wouldn't have midi going into it, so the oscillators won't sound.

There's options when it comes to how you use Phonec for audio processing. An example of a situation would be, if you're using Phonec in a track and you like the melt sound, and you want say your pads from another synth to sound similar, no problem, just run them into that instance of Phonec and turn up the Audio level and you have all your desired synth parts coming out of one channel with the same unstable sound. You can even utilize the EchoShifter while your in there.

Another situation might be where you're not using Phonec in a track, but you want another synth to have a melty, warbly sound. So instead of using a Phonec instrument and doing all this routing, you can simply insert a Phonec effect. It's not an extensive effect unit, but it does give you the option should the need for this arise.

I did it like in the second scenario, still I heard the Phonec sound as well when I used Phonec as an effect for a track. Only when I use it as an effect associated with a synth (i.e. I could save both synth sound and Phonec FX as one patch, regardless of tracks and projects), does Phonec itself not sound. Maybe this is a Mixcraft architecture thingy...
