So glad to find these have 'leaked' over to KVR. I initially wanted to post them here, but since I'm not an actual developer with commercial website, etc. I couldn't do it through the formal process for developers here. I e-mailed KVR to inform them about what I had and how I might proceed in sharing them here but got no reply at all, so I put them up over at the Flowstone forum.

The huge issue regarding presets is something that I became aware only after posting them there. One of the main reasons I shared the .osm project files is I had a hunch there would some major thing I'd overlooked and that the 'Flowstoners' could go into the schematics and correct (I don't have FS, only Synthmaker). I've only ever used vstHost to use these and create and load presets and this works perfectly with the synths as they are. I didn't therefore know that this doesn't work with more conventional workstations/ hosts! I should be getting some help over at Flowstone in understanding what needs to be done (each control must have a unique name, etc.) but this is just an occasional odd-hours hobby for me and after the end of this month I will have very little time to spend on all this. My hope is that since this is now spread as far as Germany, that someone will organize a beta testing and fine tuning open-source type thing, such as Gimp and Audacity. The raw schematics are there for all - have at it!

By the way, I think some of the glitchy behavior on some of these is down to a weird 'green-input'
de-zipper I was using for a while; after discovering their troublesome nature, I thought I went through and replaced them all, but I clearly missed a number of them. I just did a purge on the Chorg PS-20 and will be posting a replacement over at the Flowstone forum.

Despite all this, I very much appreciate the positive response generally, especially regarding the GUIs - one of the main things that started me on this is that so many of the vsts out there (even demos of commercial synths I tried) had GUIs that were hard to read, ugly, too-tiny panel labeling, didn't look much like the hardware they were emulating or various combinations thereof. A big exception to this is u-he - absolutely gorgeous; raises the bar for the entire market.

Cheers,

Some very good vst synths here, it would be nice to have (say) 16 init voice patches up and running in order to edit / create presets, all of these vst's at present only have patch#1 making sound, any other slot is silent no matter what knob / dial is moved. (using FL Studio 12.2)
That said there is much fun to be had just playing around with a lot of these instruments.

Gold mine. Thanks for posting these.

I just uploaded an update of OB-2 with improved envelopes and more importantly gave all it's controls unique Preset names. I tested it with Tracktion and it saved and loaded presets just fine - don't know if more needs to be done for this to work in all/most hosts, but let me know your experiences.

If KVR isn't allowing this yet, go to the "Synthmaker Bundle" thread on the Flowstone/DSP Robotics forum.

New updates (links found on DSP Robotics) OB-2 / Matrix 6 and Sonic 6 - None of the vsts are producing any sound in FL studio 12.2. At best the OB-2 produces only distortion.

This may be due to the lack of DAW Automation compatibility (they work fine in hosts such as vstHost/SAVIhost), which has been brought to my attention and I and a couple of others over at DSP Robotics forum are gradually fixing synth-by-synth.

Or maybe it's a 64 bit problem? These are all 32 bit.

So far it's been done for OB-2, b6, Chorg PS-20, Matrix-Six1 and Zoomchak (working on tonus 2620 right now). Links are on the Music-Society thread, since I'm still not being allowed to post links here (why is that, exactly?).

:Update: Just posted the Automation fix for tonus 2620 (ARP 2600) on the DSP Robotics and Music-Society forum threads. Let me know if works in FL Studio.

I'm on FL Studio 12.2 and they all work fine on my system...

Interesting - anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

Select any other program except program #1 in the fruity wrapper, you should be met with silence and no matter what parameter you change, they produce no sound. This occurs on both my Laptop and PC. (windows 10)

This includes the recently updated Tonus 2620.

Hello AutoMotto,

no wonder they produce no sound at all. There are no presets - just the default sound
on #1.

You have to create patches on your own......otherwise - copy the default sound
to #2 and so on..... (it works in VST-host)

Download tonus 2620 again; per a suggestion over at DSP Robotics, I changed the internal Preset Manager's max to 256, so he could create banks - this might address some of these issues as well - SM's Preset Manager has always been a bit of a mystery to me as I've always used vstHost.

There is no default sound in the vst's folder to copy to #2 etc.. That said, even selecting patch #2 has no sound, no matter what slider is modified, surely any blank patch should eventually make a noise after some slider / knob tweaking ? Many other vst synths do

VST host I don't understand (as in too thick to work it out) I want to create patches in the vst via FL Studio.

I downloaded the new version from DSP

I replaced it just a few minutes ago with the one that has 128 preset slots.
