With no discernible development as well - just splitting off and developing things that should have been in P900 (eg fixed filter bank was longstanding feature request)
The Fixed Filter Bank took over a year to develop. And thanks to Ehsan Gelsi, who has a Moog System 55, helped us move a notch further in modeling the Moog inductor 914FFB. Finding a Moog inductor 914 is a rarity. Major work and analysis was done at http://analoguerealities.com/my-studio/
6 different 914 clones were used for analysis and behavior.
Once you go over 2-3 months to develop a plugin, this stops to be a business model and goes into the territory of artistry and passion.
Do you know how many years P900 took to develop? Do you know how many copies were sold?
It is funny how we are in an industry where SOUND is in its essence and money is spent generously. But when it comes to plugins, PRICE comes first. I, too, would only buy plugins when they are 50% off or more (Black Friday, New Year, Thanksgiving etc..) but then go and buy a Lynx Hilo sound interface for $2500. So I don’t blame users not buying our products. I would not buy them either, UNLESS I have reached a point in my production where I can hear a sonic difference and advantage in using such plugins/tools.
Meanwhile, I am saving some money to buy

I will spit it out, P900 in its 6+ years on the market having the best analog behavior engine developed single-handed by an incredible person, Peter Janson, sold around 100 copies- the average of 2 months salary for a Senior DSP programmer.
I always wondered how such big companies with tens of programmers and claims to glory like true analog behavior circuitry or 100% emulation or even endorsed by the original hardware gear etc.. in all these years were not able to get “the sound”. I also wondered why none of them took over the P900 development; and with their bigger and deep resources could make the world of synth a better one.
I wondered why major synth review magazines or YouTube influencers never gave P900 a review or exposure, while constantly reviewing every release and minor updates of the big name companies.
I do not have the answers and I simply stepped in to keep the P900 sound alive.
If any of you have marketing/social media skills and can pitch in, PM me. I can’t pay at this stage but can give you copies of those over the top expensive plugins.

honestly, you should just have a sale like everyone else. the second you have a sale, you will automatically get picked up by blogs/forums/subreddits that track plugin discounts, like this one for example that gets a ton of hits https://www.reddit.com/r/AudioProductionDeals/

btw it looks like your website got hacked or something? https://www.pulsarmodular.com/ is redirecting to some unrelated domain.

edit: looks like it's fixed now.

also, it looks like you haven't published a single article to KVR?

https://www.kvraudio.com/product/lunar- ... ation/news

KVR articles are FREE to publish my dude. getting on the KVR front page is the very least you should be doing. or you might want to let someone like Plugin Alliance or Plugin Boutique handle your marketing and distribution for you, they're pretty good at it.

I've found a problem. Not sure it can be solved or if it's just par for the course. The wet/dry knobs are very noisy (digital artefacts).
Also, try this:
- Start an arp on a synth
- Set delay regen to max
- Set delay wet to max
- Set reverb delay to wet
I get a lot of digital artefacts. Output in the channel is -15. Volume in the plugin is set to 5. Class A/B
Is it a bug or am I using it wrong?

Even so, for those of us that did buy it, it would be nice to see some of that development going into the product we bought, including incorporation of a fixed filter bank.

Urs owns this guy in synthesizers and still doesn't charge prices anywhere this crazy.

Don't fall for marketing tricks and promises of a "unicorn" sound. It's an expensive hot air.

Did you try Lunar Lander, which in turn, lead you to this conclusion? Or is it a general statement, based on previous experience?

Lunar Lander v2.1 has just been released. New features:
  • Sync: A button that will sync the Mod. Rate to that of the Clock Rate. You can achieve extreme LFO frequencies that modulate the input buffer (the Delayed repeat signals).
  • LPF: New in version 2.1 is a 6dB smooth Low Pass Filter affecting only the Wet signal. This allows you creative blending, whether it is a dark delay that's tucked behind the dry signal- just to give it more body or clear and up-front delay- like a word that clearly repeats.
  • Expensive hot air analog behaving engine.

This is correct. It's actually the only time you told the truth. And btw, I have the same "hot air analog behaving engine" working just for free, after I eat a few chili burritos and drink a few Fanta cans.

Better go work on P900 Win version already. How many light years have to pass before Win version drops? Release it before people get grandchildren and won't care for plugins anymore.

Doh! And drop your prices. Or do sales once in a while, like every decent developer does.

That would be all.

Would you like it if you get insulted like that?

Congrats on the release!
I've just tested and I still experience the bugs I described above. Should I email support?
