Yeah, I think the only missing feature now is the arp, and of course the CPU optimisation.

The step sequencer is freaking awesome!!!

Greetings friendly developers from reveal-sound.com! I was just wondering if you had a typo in your domain name. Did you mean to register conceal-sound.com?

Have anyone else noticed that delay spread takes effect only at 100%?

I tested it several times now. I would not say it's bad but for "digital" sounds i prefer others like e.g. ElectraX, Gladiator 2, Rayblaster, Diversion, Largo, Massive, PPG Wave 3.V, Dune, FM8, Synthmaster, Wavestation, Absynth 5, Alchemy, Hamburg-Audio Nuklear etc.

Has to be very heavily optimized to reach the same sound quality/cpu hit ratio. I wonder if it's possible, but who knows.. Diversion sounds incredible too, but the cpu load is way too heavy for me unfortunately. And drastic optimization of the cpu hit seemed just no possible.

I'm doing patches for it atm Ingo... once you get stuck in it really is quite good. It's got a sort of thickness to it's sound that's very pleasing to me.

Hi George,

if you have a look at the list in my last post there are some others i have to focus on first, especially ElectraX, Diversion and also Synthmaster 2.6. AFAIk Diversion 2 is on the way.

Opposing to other synths i never had that kind of "wow" effect with Spire yet.
FM, AM and wavetables are also not new for me. The filters also not really blow me away.
Not to forget that with using the more complex features it easily kills my CPU, even more than Diversion which is already at the limit for my system.

Besides that the time where i had to get any plugin available is over now. In fact i even want to sell a few soon. Betatests are a different thing of course.
Just got TAL BassLine-101 because i waited for it and it got a very low price.

Here's hoping the devs get around to adding additional filter types and slopes.

Btw. delay times are a bit limited, I wished 1/8d times or 1/8t like in most other delays. So for this I use my own delay because it has this options. Some other improvement would be a right click context menu to select values. This would be nice also for the delay if in synced to host mode because it allows quicker selection of the values.

The manual is not reflecting the new stepper and IMO it needs a bit more work and should dive a bit deeper into the details.

Glad to see Spire is getting great reviews. Well deserved I think… When it's finished, it will be an absolute monster.

I'd say for me at the moment, it's within my top 3 soft synths in terms of sound quality. And for pads, I think this blows away most of the competition (for me anyway).

Looking better all the time...

A few users read manuals

so that we decide to announce build and then finish to write Spire doc.

Ok, manual is not so important

But add some additional delay times

Sure, but better send email to support@reveal-sound.com with suggestion or detailed bug description (MacOS version, Host App, 32 or 64 bit, and if possible attach project file in which problem was found)

Ok I will do that then ! Thanks.

Well, it's a matter of taste, but I was speaking more for what I thought was a "warm" digital sound which does not try to emulate the sound of a classic analog synth. I think that just about all those other synths you mentioned have "cold" digital sound vs a "warm digital sound that people would usually use something like Sylenth for.

If you're referring to the Wide knob, that works exactly as expected here. The delay gets spaced out further and further to the stereo field as you increase it.

There is 1/8d, it's called 3/16 (which is the same thing).
There's also 1/8t, try out 1/12
