Kind of sad that Captain Nemo didn't live to see this day.

In short, it's truly awesome.

Thanks u-he, I think it's worth a lot more than a mere $89/$129.

Bazille has some of that wonderful uncertainty... wire it up in a new way, tweak some parameter and all of a sudden a new different sound appears that makes you go wow! The sound of Bazille is just so visceral. It is the closest thing to a hardware modular that I have heard.

and of course Bazille can do lovely plucked sounds...

Hey, glad you like the patch! I hadn't heard of Mike Oldfield, I'll have to check out his music.

It's my fave patch too (apart maybe a few of my own

)

Definitely. Visceral is the word! And with the factory presets (which I often play around with to learn, reverse engineer, experiment with) - I used to briefly listen to each by holding down a note. This is the wrong way to check out the patches of Bazille. One needs to really play each one, use the modwheel on them all, check really high/low notes etc. I now have by default Live's arpeggiator in front of Bazille for quick controls for speed and gate. It's wonderful. So quick also on Push to turn the arp on/off.

I've yet to check your patches you linked (is that you deva) - I'm at work. No proper sound here.

I can't paste the registration code into the field (host is Live 8 on Mac OS 10.8.5). Am I missing something, or is there some way this can be fixed? It's pretty minor, but typing the code manually is a pain.

Just bought it ...

Couldn't resist it! .

.

One question (if I'm being silly please discard it):

If it reduces CPU load is it possible to add the option 'off' to the oscilloscope?

Also, in the patch browser, could the letters get a litle bigger or with a little more contrast? Now the 'Patch Info' section is rather difficult to read!

How about instead of oscilloscope "off", add the option "patch info"

I don't know what you mean ... .

I meant in the 'Patches' section the part on the right side. Those are very small letters which are difficult to read for me.

(Don't know what's so funny about that ...)

It was a serious suggestion. I meant it could be a good idea to put the patch info (also) where the oscilloscope is. Optionally, of course, in the scope context menu (instead of your suggested "off"). Kill two birds with one stone, as they say.

I'm not sure if this has already been reported or not, but two bug reports are better than none (right?).

The cable thickness, cable transparency, and 'on open expand to >' options are inconsistently saving between sessions and/or separate instances of Bazille. It appears to be random e.g. I set the options how I like, close the session, then either re-open or start a new session, and the options may or may not have saved. If the options do save they will inevitably reset themselves at one point.

I've tried deleting ~/Library/Application Support/u-he, but that didn't improve anything.

This bloody modular thing has taken over my life. Here are some patches I've made so far. One day I'll be amazingly efficient and a good designer like Howard and the rest of the gang and associates, and all the proper people who know what they're doing.
