Dunno, maybe i'm spoiled (actually, most probably i am), but, i don't hear much in the sound demos, which would make me want to get this, because i feel like it would improve, or do more than what i already got. The hypersaw e.g. Yes, sounds good, but, i hear a bit of that "harsh", clanking sound i also hear in a lot of Serum's sound demos, for example. Could well just be me, but, i'm obviously at a point, where i made up my mind on what soft synths work well for me, and there's not much that i feel like tops those. Not Rapid, not Avenger, and this might be "no cigar" as well. I'll surely demo it, when it's being released, but, so far, i do think, for the sound this synth makes, i prefer what i already have.

IMO, YMMV, etc.

The demos so far havnt really scratched the surface. And YouTube audio quality has to be factored in to.

Is there some types of sound you would like to hear from the synth? Pads, analog basses or something?

The UI does look very nice.

BTW, what happened to the controller you showed some time ago on facebook?

Could you show some filter action? Like some filter sweeps, with low and high resonance? And maybe some filter modulation, with the LFO running on audio rate. Some (analog) pads would be nice too. Thanks for your commitment BTW. :tu:

I actually think that hypersaw sounds really good. Easily as good as the Virus (as far as I can tell from youtube ofc). No comparison to Serum - it's one of my favourite synths but I've never heard an actually convincing hypersaw lead made with Serum.

Also it seems that the filters are going to be great



Btw, how about vowel/formant filters in ANA2? iirc there were some in the first version, were they updated?
You may think you can fly ... but you better not try

Thanks, that sounds quite nice. :)

The new analogue filter models are superb.

We did a bunch of work on minimising phase overlapps on the supersaw... you still get a nice randmoness and movement but the phase separation is always good even with lower voice numbers... makes for a generally fatter saw sound.
It sounds lovely. Excellent work, from the interface, to the effects, and everything I've seen so far.

Can't wait.

Is that a negative GUI thumbnail, or an alternate skin colour option?
