...in addition, Animator (in Fusor) can modulate effects in some very cool ways. I wonder how many people actually use it in this way...

I never really did. I tried fusor a few times, but often forgot it was even an option. I didn't spend a lot of time with it tbh, I vaguely remember not finding it hugely intuitive and sticking to just the synths. I think it was the seperateness that really stopped the use of it... built in fx are much more convenient...and to layer two synths I prefer duplication of the midi track... perhaps it was a bit more than people rrequired...

Fusor was always a cpu hog for me, so i never looked deeper into it. should i?

If Fusor would be multy core CPU support then it would solw alot of problems.

depends on your DAW and if you can setup strips easily with macro controls for fx.

Personally I think a set of fx on a synth are really really useful. Makes it quicker to be creative. If you have better quality fx then all good, but I prefer to swap them out when mixing, not when creating.

Built-in fx would be more interesting if you could move them within the signal path.

Built-in fx would be even even more interesting, to me, if they were also available as a separate plugin which could load and save programs of the same format. Maybe a simple copy/paste button?

I am going to buy this in a heartbeat. The first Synth Squad was one of the few synths I regretted selling. Just mentioning the animator now reminds me how little I "got" this synth when it first came out. I think I spent too much time trying to get Strobe to make fat basses when, upon reflection, I think Amber and Cypher are more interesting synths....

Hopefully a special price for "former synth squad owners" (j/k)

The GUI is great but the sound-demo of OP is simply mindblowing!

You should!

I like it a lot anyway. Here's an example of Animator drastically transforming a sound. First dry, then with those effects, and then with added drum beat (Tremor):

(I've run out of space on my server, so this is my first plugin demo SoundCloud upload, ha!).

It's running fast & stable (say the QA team!) and most features are in, but still a considerable amount to do - you've all seen by now how long a product can exist in a "nearly-finished-one-more-thing-to-go" kind of state
