Looks nice, brings nothing new. The first AD plugin i will skip. Nice for "starters" though.

Looks dope, sounds dope!
Do they still offer there money back if you’re not satisfied offer?

[Echoes in the Attic]

Looks like their take on the modern wavetable synth. Clean interface, easy modulation, MPE, all the platforms. Not looking for another wavetable synth myself (or any synth really) but seems like a nice product that's checking all the boxes.

FEATURES
◦ Three Flexible Oscillators
Continuously variable morphing waveform, with warp, shape, and skew controls.
◦ Dual Morphing Filters
Filters can be used in serial or parallel modes, and morph from lowpass through bandpass and highpass to notch in 2-pole and 4-pole configurations.
◦ Noise Source
Noise source features a "color" control that affects tonal characteristics of the noise.
◦ ADSR x 2
Continua has two ADSR-style envelope generators, with curve on attack, decay, and release.
◦ Flexible Envelope Generator (FEG) x 2
The two FEGs are arbitrary function generators, with up to 99 steps, curve and step level control, arbitrary loop points, and host tempo sync.
◦ Flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator (FLFO) x 4
The four FLFOs utilize four controls (phase, shape, skew, and warp) to access a virtually limitless palette of waveforms, and feature host tempo sync and retrigger.
◦ Sample And Hold
The S&H mod source can sample noise (random) or any of the other mod sources, at either a user-defined rate or a musical division, and includes built-in smoothing and distance limit (for a "walk" effect).
◦ Modulation
Every knob in Continua is a mod destination, with a very fast and simple assignment matrix access with a right-click on the knob (double-tap on iOS).
◦ Tuning Tables And Global Tuning Offset
Re-tune Continua to new intonations and temperaments using the open-source and easy-to-use TUN file format. A global tuning offset (default to A=440) allows you to easily retune the entire synth to match a different A frequency without using a tuning table.
◦ MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression)
Continua understands both "legacy" MIDI and MPE. Use your Linnstrument, Roli Seaboard, Haken Continuum, Madrona Labs Soundplane, or Sensel Morph (among others) to directly access per-note pressure, pitch bend, and modulation.
◦ Per-Instance Settings
Continua utilizes a per-instance customization method: set MPE mode, aftertouch smoothing, pitch bend range override, tuning table, and global tuning offset for each instance in your DAW, with an option to save any state as your global starting point.
◦ Factory Presets
Continua comes with a substantial collection of factory content, including Designer Presets from Red Means Recording, Glitch Machines, and Sonalsystem.
◦ Cross-Platform Preset Format
Continua utilizes an XML-based preset manager. Work between multiple systems without troubles, make a preset on your desktop machine and paste it to the iOS version with Handoff, easily share your creations with your friends, or make a preset bundle to sell.
◦ Fully Resizable Hi-Dpi/Retina GUI
Continua's vector-based GUI is resolution-agnostic, and displays the same on every system and resolution. Easily resize the UI (per instance) to match your visual needs, from postage stamp to poster-sized.

Hi

Do they still offer there money back if you’re not satisfied offer?

Demo available:

https://audiodamage.com/collections/plu ... 1-continua

I think I will give it a try - $79 at the moment.

Great to see them pumping out new tools. Wish sOhmeone also made either updates to their current line or finish some early beta..

Thanks! I don't have internet so couldn't read about it on their website

No worries. Thanks for reading and responding

I just downloaded the demo, but I can't figure out several things

- Where do I change the OSCs waveforms??
- How can I disable filter 2??
- Why oh why AD forces you to go to the browser menu to change presets? Why isn't there simple arrow icons in the upper bar for fast navigating through them??

They morph into each other using the Shape control - the ring around the waveform display.

For the filter, unless there's a control I've missed, run them in parallel and set the F2 output level to zero.

I see, so basically it's not a wavetable synth as I've thought. It's a VA morphing synth

About the 2nd filter, I'd like to turn it off to save CPU but, if you're right, that's not possible

[Gamma-UT]

Just noticed that you can also deselect the filter sends from the Oscs as well. It may be that the filter self-disables when it's not receiving any input.

Continua sounds good, but it's going against the likes of Strobe2 and Go2, and I don't feel it's user friendly enough to compete. Imho.

[Gamma-UT]

For me, it has MPE as an advantage over Go2. However, Strobe2 has full MPE support, so there it comes down to usability and whether the morphing waveforms make a difference.

...and if you've got ROLI for MPE, you've already got Strobe2 in all likelihood.
