In the process of trying to figure out how to assign mod wheel to anything. A manual would be great but I guess at this beta stage that's not a reasonable thing to expect. Anyway, I don't see any modulation matrix and right clicking on parameters doesn't seem to do anything. Clicking on mod wheel does light up a bunch of stuff but from there I have no clue. Have tried dragging and dropping, clicking, whatever, but nothing seems to do anything.

This is certainly a puzzle. LOL.

Click the helmet-button, and drag your mouse over any of the highlighted parameters to set the mod depth. It's easy once you know it ;)

Tried it. Doesn't work. Must be a bug in my DAW.

Okay, I tried a different DAW (MuLab) and tried to load the plugin. It gives me invalid dll. That means it's not recognizing it as a true 64 bit dll, which is the one I downloaded. So that's the problem. It's probably really 32 bit which isn't going to work in my 64 bit Cubase 7.

At least now I know what's wrong.

Just played around a bit, and this is a super impressive synth so far, with a really cool GUI. Unfortunately it crashed after I rendered a mp3 file, and did a bit of multi-tasking. Not sure what that was about. Latency is medium - high, depending on the patch.

That sound and not GUI is what matters most.

A nice GUI is nice, but matters little if the sound cant match it

looks really good!

Sounds like an order, are you paying.

Well, I tested this thing as much as I could given the 64 bit plug isn't really 64 bit.

I can't get the modulation to work at all no matter what I do, even following the instructions above.

The sound is okay. It's a little unrefined and raw. I've heard better. I've heard worse. I see a lot of potential in this synth once all the bugs are out of it and we get a true 64 bit version. Until then, I'll be putting it to the side.
