Just downloaded v1.0.3 and Kaspersky gives it a clean bill of health, as does Virustotal.

I have made a patch with filter self-oscillation and it sounds good. The only odd thing is that the oscillator needs to be turned on (only minimum volume needed) to be able to trigger the sound. It shouldn't be like that though.

And it is impossible do make a resonance filter sweep modulating with an Envelope.
So, no nice bass drums with the filter resonance :-

It does not change the sound (much) if the filter cutoff is 100% open while moving the resonance slider...
Duh, yeah, I managed to do that. Playing around a bit more now, after listening to the Jupiter Bass patch, I can see what the problem was this morning - turning up the drive kills the resonance stone dead. But, let's be honest, there is not a whole lot going on with the resonance anyway. In fact, the filters are incredibly weak, probably the worst I've heard since the early LinPlug synths. It wouldn't matter how good the rest of it was, this is an instant deal-breaker.

If you're after a good, free synth, I suppose this is OK but, even with all its limitations compared to the commercial version, HY-Poly Free is a better deal.
Only if are looking for analog sounds, which this synth is not about.

If you want to get into wavetables, mangling, heavy modulation and stuff, vital is absolutely the best synth (even for 80 dollars).

Also, please don't generalize your opinion. Music is probably the most subjective thing out there.

Yup- using filters for subtractive sound design is just one (very overused) method of synthesis, with the WT stuff I often just use filters for a bit of EQ or not at all. If you want warm analogue or screaming resonance, use a real analogue synth (or a good VA), this is nice and digital, its good to have choices :-)

Why is it impossible? I have made several patches with filter sweep modulating with envelopes.

Not without having volume on the oscillator (self oscillating filter)

I was paid sound designer for Alchemy, I know what I am talking about
The filters does not self oscillate without having some signal from the oscillators

If I'm not mistaken, the plus version might have more Text to wavetables per day than the free version (at least the Pro version has). But basically you can use the free version if you're not interested to get those extra presets or wavetables... It's just a nice way to support the developer if you like the synth ;)
TTWT of Basic and Plus have the same limitation, 5/day.

So I'd say Plus is more for supporting the dev for little money, and getting 3 times the ammount of content than the free version, I think it's a good deal.

How do I get it to download? New to win10 here.

edit:
Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl
Anything to be bothered about or can I allow it? Want to try this synth out!

So can anyone let me know if it's ok to allow this within Windows Defender, I'm on a new laptop and not keen on accepting it before knowing it's safe. Not had this with any of my other plugins. Thank you in advance.

Turn off all oscillators
Choose the Ladder filter
Turn up the resonance full
Turn Filter cutoff down
Modulate filter cutoff with a fast envelope
Do you get any sound?

I did it, no issues. I think it's safe.

I think its safe if only 1 out of 68 detect a virus.

More than that Matt is a really nice dude and he would never give you trojan disguised as a synth.
