To repeat my msg in discord ... to remove a link in the fx routing , right-click on the linking line and you get a delete box.

Downloading! I hope not to leave it by the end of the month

[violator_alba]

If you're having issues with the mac, there's instructions at the bottom of the gumroad download page. You did read the whole page right..?

Works fine for me on Mac using Logic so far. I had to copy the component to the plug-in library folder manually, though.
This thing has some weird parameter scaling, at least for my taste. Will see what I can make out of it.
The most fun part in my opinion is the effects section.

[BRAMFX]

On my machine (linux) there's a problem with V3's UI but V1 works. It's nice to see a randomize button in the wild.

Great synth!
- I notice that when the 'banks' window is floating, you cannot edit the sounds. Is this correct? I would love to have it always on.
- renaming presets on that window is not possible. Or is it?
- Creating a bank creates a new json file, I imagine. When I press 'save preset', how do I specify which bank I want?
- On the LFO sections, is there any way to see if the LFO is engaged (so I don't have to click of 4 tabs when trying to learn from a preset)? Maybe changing the color of the tab would be enough
- The floating effect window is a great idea. Would be lovely if it could stay open when you change preset (on the factory float as well). It looks like all these floats are blocking the interface. Also, the effect window is too small and not resizable on my monitor
- Perhaps getting the modulations animate the graphs would be a good addition (like LFOs moving the Frq. on a filter)

Click the bank button and make sure the desired bank is selected in the banks popup. I hope that's how it works or I've just lost a couple of hours of work...

I only get the factory bank in the panel, even after I have created a new bank. When I reload the project, only the factory bank is in the banks panel ...

Luckily, Reaper seems to remember the last preset when you saved for the fx/synth on each track ... so I will prob use reapers preset system to save my own ...

The plugin writes its patches to the folder the vst3 is installed in, so if your default vst3 location is not writable (like mine) you could try moving your 2rulesynth folder to another (writable) location. This worked for me.

Synth installed, and ready to my first One Synth Challenge ever! Let's go

[doctorbob]

The plugin writes its patches to the folder the vst3 is installed in, so if your default vst3 location is not writable (like mine) you could try moving your 2rulesynth folder to another (writable) location. This worked for me.

The usual Windows vst3 folder, C:\program files\common files\vst3 is a protected area, so you have to (in my case) authorise any writes which want to go there ...

I'll move 2rules to a temp vst3 location and tell reaper to get it (and write) from/to there ...

Thanks - YEAH, that fixed it ... warning to others though, could lose work if not aware of this ...

Here is my first test with the 2 Rule Synth
It's not in my top 50 favorite synths, but I'm pretty sure we'll have some great entries by the end of this month.
