Okay, I found the original thread. When I first tested this when it first came out, it was buggy as hell.
How far have we come in the last 6 months since early release?

Repro-1 users will get a free upgrade to Repro-5, hopefully by the end of this year.recursive one wrote:Hi, Antic!
Repro sounds great but is mono only atm, and it is more on "vintage" side.
No experience with the Waves synths [...] but they seem to be not very popular.
Waves Element is highly underrated imho. It's a pretty neat subtractive VA and the soundquality was greatly improved with V2. It's also currently on sale for 29$ (around 23$ with CK901 at retailers), so that's definitely a lot of bang for your buck.
Codex however is a completely different beast. As a wavetable Synth It's okay-ish but compared to other Wavetable Synths it's definitely lacking (especially the modulation capabilities and the "intelligent" wavetable import algorithm is a hit-and-miss)
If you're interested in Bazille buy a digital issue of ComputerMusic and give BazilleCM a try. At ~5$ this is pretty much the best bang-for-buck-ratio apart from the free TyrellN6

I own it. Still a bit buggy for me on FL (but getting better.) It has so much potential however, so i keep it around. That and the Dev is really responsive

Definitely a favorite and only $45 on ADSR at the moment.
Is this the only place it’s on sale? What’s people’s experience buying from here?

Just an FYI for anyone else with the same questions. I hit the buy button and everything has gone swimmingly and I haven't had any issues. You get an immediate download.
I had been waiting for a sale to come along on this. I had been staring at it for a while, but had everything I needed so I never went after it. This just gave me a reason, Thanks.

There are several options that are very good under 100,
1.- Thorn, sounds good, lots of features for the price. Versatile (but it is an Intro price)
2.- U-he ACE, excellent sound, good features
3.- FAW CIrcle2, good sounds, excellent GUI, good features.
4.- NI Razor, more edgy sound, but different. Not much modulation options.
Those would be my choices for best synths under 100. Aalto would be an honorary mention, it is great but for many the sounds might not be that useful.

What exactly is buggy then? Could you explain in the thread about Fathom? LinkImpodiam wrote: I own it. Still a bit buggy for me on FL (but getting better.)
I also have FL, so far the app works fine imo ( needs fixed buffers tho ).
