It is not important, but since the arrow keys work for browsing, how about assigning the Esc key to closing the browser? It is like that in some other synths.

Speaking of the arrow keys, due to the layout of your browser it might even make sense to use the horizontal arrow keys for switching between category level and patch level, and the vertical ones for switching within the category or patch level.

All of that to reduce clicking to a minimum

By the way, what I've always been wondering: what is the logic behind putting the amp envelope above the filter envelope? There are several synths that do it like that, but I think it is not very logical. Somehow the signal flow on a plugin is expected to go from the left to the right and from the top to the bottom. And I assume that the amp comes after the filter, kind of the final component.

You're definitely not alone there. Trips me up in Diva too. In my mind, the last envelope (either on the right, or on the bottom) is the amp envelope. Or just call them Amp Env and F. Env. Nothing wrong with saying, "I'm also using the F. Env to modulate PWM."

I mean, I can live with Invader 2 as is in that respect, but I agree with your overall sentiment.

And thank you guys for the great suggestions. The feedback from you synth gurus here is really appreciated.

Shame this isn't your full-time job, I reckon you deserve it.

If you made a Kick starter campaign for a new project, I'd back you!

Hmmm, makes sense indeed.

How about Apple Silicon/M1 native support, already there or planned?

Not yet planned. I'm dependant on the framework I use, whenever it comes available I'll try to release a M1 version.

Thanks to this vst3 i found a bug in my vst3 wrappers, plugin did not load because of this stupid bug. Nice synth by the way.

I noticed saving patches using the preset browser currently does not work in the latest version (1.0.4).
This will be fixed in the next release.

I indirectly noticed that something was weird, but I thought I might have accidentally overwritten another patch when I wanted to load a newly saved patch and couldn't find it

This is such a small thing I'm almost embarrassed to bring it up up but the indicator lines for the knob positions mean nothing...which isn't a big deal in and of itself, but it's confusing when it comes to the min/max positions for the knobs. Min, Max, and Center indicators should all line up IMO.

See here....

...Does that knob look like it's at 0 or does it look like it's at a value of about 0.5? To me it's the latter, but it's really the former. If you move the knob to the maximum position, visually, it looks like it's at 9.5 when it's really at 10.

The resolution and contrast are so poor that I don't even see the min and max lines, frankly

I think those scale lines are there merely so that the knob is not naked. The lines as such don't seem to mean anything.
