I didn't know about this until today, though it was released last month. I figured I'd mention it here in case some others didn't know:

This new update includes native compatibility for Apple M1 & M2 chips, a VST3 version for Windows and Mac and several bugfixes and improvements.

What's new in this version:
Includes native ARM support for M1/M2 Macs.
Includes VST3 version.
Solves AAX problems in Pro Tools 2022.9+ on Mac.
Fixes oversampling crash bug.
Added oscillator drift emulation (oscdrift in Settings.xml).
Added MidiLearn for PitchBend.
Added support for .vstpreset and .fst preset files (drag & drop).
Improved GUI framerate on macOS.
Fixes FL Studio keypress issues with detached windows.
Fixes FL Studio graphic bug in bridged mode.
Fixes file signature bug.
Fixes problems with modal pop-up windows.
Fixes initial scaling issues.
Added GUI scaling check (Windows).
Dropped 32bit support for macOS.
Minimum required macOS version is 10.9.

Thanks for the heads-up! Haven't used Sylenth1 in a while so can't even remember if the plugin has an update check, but Lennar has always released new versions in an unceremonial, under-the-radar way.

Can it finally do PWM without sacrificing an oscillator for a workaround?

Oh, so it's final now. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes! I just found all my purchased Sylenth soundbanks, I thought I'd lost them in the computer changeover several months ago when I didn't (couldn't) install Sylenth as no M1 available.

Thumbs up for saving your old installers

That epic _roblee_ bank is a total classic.

Does not seem so.

Just think of PWM as a subset of all waveshaping which can be done with inverted OSC summing.
It will help to cope with this unbearable problem.

still no PWM

Such a weird omission. Lennar has steadfastly ignored his ideas thread so it's probably safe to say it'll never be implemented at this point

I think I read somewhere that PWM is more CPU intensive than generating waveforms from lookup tables. That might be the reason why it has been left out. Dunno what the actual reason is though.

still strange imo.

Come on, no new synthesis features are going to be added to Sylenth1. It didn't happen in 15 years, why you think I'd happen now?

Nick Batt said it was “odd”.

I got over it, what, ten years ago, I think. So happy to have Sylenth back

chk071 · Post by **chk071** » Tue Dec 06, 2022 1:24 pm

Nick Batt is odd.

Sylenth1 v3.072 update
