Hi @ all!

Maybe some of you remember my VST synth AnaMark which I started several years ago.

However, as time went by, my job changed and currently I focus on completely different projects (software for metallography, a fantasy novel etc.).

I think that AnaMark still can be considered a synth with interesting possibilities, and so I decided to make it freely available to everyone. Just visit the AnaMark website for details.

Herewith I also want to say "thank you

" to this forum and the musicians out there for a lot of pleasure in developing that synth. And if you make a song using AnaMark, I would be pleased to listen to it.

(Just drop me an email using the contact page of the AnaMark website or send me a pm in this forum)

Note: The current version has one minor bug which occurs depending on the VST host and windows version: AnaMark may show an error message when writing/reading its settings to/from the registry. Just ignore this message; AnaMark should work well anyway. I could not yet figure out what's the reason for the bug, but I will release a bugfix as soon as I know how to solve it.

Very generous of you Mark and a fair exchange for the full version. Let's hope I can do it justice.

This was one of the first synths that I noticed to really do something insteresting with the oscillator section, with a comprehensive library of waveforms and many, many ways to combine them beyond simple mixing and/or multiplying. It also supports microtuning files which is something that even today is (sadly) considered an esoteric feature in most synth circles. It can even morph between two intonations - now that's out there!

Many thanks for making the synth free!

p.s. I don't have any music made with Anamark (yet) but if you like arrangement-based braindance style music, PM me and I'll send you a free download code for my album (worth a whopping five pounds!

)

Yeah me too - one of the few synths I had to leave behind when moving to Mac that I miss.

One of the first fully microtonal synths as well - in fact afaik Mark invented the tun format for Anamark.

I don't even have AnaMark installed anymore.....I still have the install files and reg code somewhere but I imagine it would be easier just to install the new freeware version...........

Wow, no complaints yet that it isn't 64 bits

I'm quite chuffed to get it free though, almost 600 patches, lots to play with, gonna download tomorrow

I think the osc designs were way ahead of their time - some similar ideas are being implemented now in synths like Corona.
