No interest in pretty graphics. If a synth sounds good and is user friendly that's all that matters to me.zerocrossing wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 5:12 amIt’s not going to win any beauty contests, but it’s clear and well laid out.
It wasn't me! (well, actually, it probably was) - apparently now an 'elderly' so maybe I forgot!

It's almost like Xils made it deliberately ugly so people would be steered to their other synths.JoeCat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 5:14 amMaybe.

A well-behaved signature.

TBH, I could never get into the GUI. Plus it sounds good, but, I have at least 5 or 6 synths which sound better to me, so.
Actually the oscillators sound great. It's rather the envelopes and the filters which I didn't find THAT good. Nice synth, but, nothing I ever booted up instead of my other synths. It catches dust now, because I can't sell it, but, that's alright.

I like "going fungal" myself. Wait... no, no, no, I didn't mean that kind of fungus..

'Going viral' is odd, the negative meaning of virus has been removed, which, by the way, is exactly the same as if we said going bacterial.
Anyway, I don't think that logic applies here. It's not that people don't know plugins that are not very popular. They are always introduced here on KVR for instance. Many people will try the demos, but for some reasons most just won't buy them.

Looked at ArcSyn after this thread and it's on my list. I love these kind of synths.
