I noticed a new beta of Synth 1 has just been released for mac.
I have no idea about the changes (I'm going to try it veeeery soon), but I thought I had to share.

Thank You very much, Ichiro Toda!

Let's hope he has not abandoned an update for Windows users too.

did you use the vst wrapper so that it will work in Logic? I had used the last version for a minute: it sounded pretty nice, but the wrapper was a little wonky and it was prone to crashing on my machine. i ended up uninstalling, but if it ever becomes available in AU format, I would re-install.

it IS an AU (the beta), but did not show up for me in logic X...

On the page it says 32bit for the AU, so yes, that explains it's not showing up in Logic X.

duh, how did i miss that? sorry. thanks for the heads up, i'll give it a try (i'm still on Logic 9).

edit: I'm back. just installed it (and the banks). no luck in getting the sound banks to work, and the synth failed AU Validation. I bypassed that, but it crashed Logic a bunch of times. I just uninstalled it as I didn't see the point in continuing.

I tried only the vst version in Cubase 7.5 and it seems to be working fine, though I won't be using it because my setup is fully 64 bit nowadays and I don't want to deal with wrappers and so (I even left behind a few paid plugin which are still 32 bit-only in order to avoid wrappers).

it's funny: this is like the 4th time I have tried to make it work. it's like the forbidden fruit at this point. I don't actually need it, I have some great synths already. but damn it, I want it to work.

Seems to crash DP8 in 32bit mode after a few minutes of use.

I got it to work in Logic Pro x
With 32 lives.
But there was no GUI or presets.
Uninstalled until it's better.
