Been thinking about Bassimo again.

It's remained one of my favourite great-sounding, no-nonsense monosynths since I first downloaded it as a World Music Day gift all those years ago (and I don't think my SH-101 has been out of storage ever since ... wonder if it still works?).
And version 2, with that new filter - Oh, my! - and polyphony ...
... hmmm ...

I only ever record with mono instruments anyway.
But I also have my favourite 'kick back and chill' synths - the ones that map easily to a control surface, so I can turn off the monitor and improvise any tensions away (often by candlelight!), patching on-the-fly.
Bassimo is one such synth. (SAM is another. I actually prefer it to Arturia's clone - not saying it's 'better' or 'more authentic' or anything, just that it's more to my taste.)
But I'm going to have to admit defeat.

So: there's a(nother) tenner in it (for WOK - not you!) if anyone can tell me how to switch between mono and poly modes - without starting from one of the presets (which is what I do anyway: 'default' and 'init' are generally the only type of patches I ever load - I don't even save my own!).

Wasn't there planned Bassimo 3 with an inbuilt sequencer ?

EDIT: I'm an idiot and scrolled past the original reply in my inbox (not even spam) a dozen times. Thanks!! Donation will be incoming once I fly back.

I tried to send an email, it immediately bounced back.

Still not too late to donate, though!

Perhaps if we appear grateful enough for his extraordinary generosity, WOK might just repeat last year's amazing gesture and give people another chance to receive his gift over the New Year.

I've no clue about the 'offline' donations, of course - but judging by how much the GFM total has risen, I'm not sure anyone should really get their hopes up.

Thanks for the awesome gift. Donation followed immediately after download.

Cheers,
Martin

"Non-GoFundMe"-Donations are added manually into the sum (which reflects the total, so).

If enough money would be raised, I would spend time and re-release all my plugins as freeware/donationware....

Are you promoting this campaign on other popular forums too ? Like Gearslutz electronic music section for example ?

I'm just thinking that OP is going about it the wrong way, if €20K is to be reached.

I would have set €20 donation as a minimum to get the pack

And maybe the main WWW page should include descriptions of all plugins with audio examples, to make more people want them.
We know WOK plugins are good, but some other VST enthusiasts may not.

great idea, lend him a hand and start coding that html won't you? life's hard, lots of stuff going on, there's literally too much to do. if you can't make it to the blue collar work party, i'm sure wok could use a district manager in your jurisdiction.

I donated well above the minimum, but didn't get any additional plugins.
