I absolutely love this synth, its workflow jives perfectly with how I think its so damn easy to create what I want.

Major gripe - I emailed Clifford from Initial Audio, and he says we cannot remove their installed stuff off of the default C drive. Hate that shit, a huge pet peeve that frankly should never happen this day and age. I suppose for $15 its not worth complaining, however I was considering buying their expansions to support them further, which I won't be doing now - I don't clutter my cloned OS drive with random install junk.

Minor gripe - I tried adding wavetables as per their instructions and couldn't get it to work the very day I got it. Maybe I was doing something wrong though, and I didn't spend much time on it as I wanted to play with sculpting. If someone else has been sucessful importing their own wavetables, please let us know.

I am really liking this synth as well. I was able to move their installed stuff off the C drive by setting up a directory junction. Here is how I did it:

1. Move %appdata%\IgniteVST to the new drive, for example D:
2. from the cmd line type:

cd %appdata%
mklink /j IgniteVST d:\IgniteVST

That is it. Sektor still thinks the stuff is on C: but it is really on D:

As far as the wavetable stuff is concerned, I know it is possible because theorize converted a pack of Massive wavetables to Sektor. more info here viewtopic.php?t=507898

Appreciate you mentioning it I hadn't done it yet -- I used to have a shell extension that did the same thing and its a work around at least. I'm trying my best to avoid doing things like that on this system though, going as 'vanilla' as humanly possible.

Has anybody got this to work at all in mono ?
It just goes silent here.

Actually even easier you can drag and drop IR samples directly into the Reverb preset menu on the GUI which is great plus it will save it in there.

Definitely don't need another (wt) synth but, I still bought Sektor. Seems promising

Haha, I could say this about most of the synths I buy nowadays. Really don't need them, but it's sometimes (most often) hard to resist a good deal

No-Brainer for the price, love it, it's not as deep as some others I own like Serum but at the Plugin Boutique special price it's great. However a few basic changes to do with file handling such as the ability to point to your own wavetable directories, nominate installation directories etc. would turn this into a much more useful synth.

Plugin Boutique special price? $139? I think you mean AudioPlugin.Deals.

Oh my. Just upgraded Komplete and Live and Hive but couldn’t resist.

Okay I'm very happy with the purchase. Only issue I've encountered is that when making fast psybass, I have to keep the synth poly mode instead of mono. The envelope doesn't retrigger(?) fast enough so it cuts away the snap.
