GHOST (beta) - New 6 osc wavetable FM synth

[synaesthesia]

Looks like an interesting synth but, I do think you're doing yourself a little bit of a disservice making it look quite SO like Serum.

People are going to see that and, if they already have Serum or Vital or both, pass on it without seeing the extra and unique ideas you've got in there. It should stand up for itself given its features but, particularly at the price point you've chosen, you've literally demanded comparison with Serum. IMHO.

Working great in Reaper Windows 10!

Could we get it to respond to sustain pedal?

[Biome_Digital]

Is it released?

Is it released?

Not AFAIK. It's still in Beta, and a long time since last version

Ok thanks,

Hopefully this is still in development. The demo convinced me this is a synth I actually need - great hybrid between F.'em and OpSix, with features from Serum/Vital. Actually reminds me of an updated version of good olde BigTick Rhino. Also I found the CPU usage was low compared with some of the other synths.

I hope it gets at least presets. It passed a year since I bought it and no progress

Yep it's still in active development. In the past few weeks I've released a major update that took just over 12 months to complete. The GUI has had a complete redesign & rewrite. All graphics are now rendered on the GPU using DirectX 11 (Windows) & Metal (MacOS). The dependancy on the JUCE framework has been dropped. A CLAP version is now available. A new random modulator has been added. The single & multiband compressors now have a controllable knee. The distortion can now have different distortion types for positive / negative input. The distortion also has pre/post filters. It's worth grabbing and I hope anyone who was left waiting feels it was worth the wait.

My biggest priority right now is making a presets library, as it's the last thing left to do before a v1.0 release / product launch.

It goes without saying there are still bugs to find and fix. That's being managed pretty well by my existing beta testers in my Discord group. I don't intend to onboard any new beta testers at the moment, so consider this thread closed.

If anyone has any questions for me I'm often pretty quick to reply via email (find it via the contact form on my website). You can also DM me on Twitter or Discord (find me in The Audio Programmer discord group). All the best discussion is happening elsewhere and I would like to stop using KVR.

This post remembered me that I’ve bought it after seeing Databroth playing with it.

From the purchase (over one year ago) the only update they if got was the graphical engine.

Wasted money (99 euros) and lesson learned.

Indeed the latest version is by far the most stable & CPU friendly release.
Thanks for the huge efforts exacoustics

The preset sound bank will be vitally important for showing the synths potential. Not everyone is a sound designer. I hope you have some professional sound design for it. I did reply to your email about that.

The release still happened. There seems to be a demo version on the site.
Looks interesting: in synthesizers like Serum and Vital, the real weak point is the FM capabilities - this shortcoming is eliminated here. It’s also cool that the effects block is made according to the Current principle - you can add several effects of the same type. I also like the filter and distortion blocks for each oscillator.

However, there are things that surprise me (I only tried it for half an hour, so maybe I didn’t understand it):
the ratio parameter cannot be set to a non-integer number (why?), the LFO synchronization modes are a little illogical - after 1\6 there are no triplets (only 1\8, 1\16, 1\32, 1\64), and, as we wrote above: the envelopes system is very strange for FM synthesizer.
$200 seems a little high.

The idea of ​​adding a real FM matrix to this type of synthesizer seems very interesting to me.

$199 !? Well good luck with that

Hey, sounds like a good work. Had a look some time ago to make presets, but could not find enough time.
So new demo. Is Aftertouch working for anyone ? Tried with my Morph and S-49 mk2, in app and plug-in with no success
If I look at a MIDI Monitor, data is sent ok by the controllers
Mod Wheel works ok
Did I miss something ?

I just saw this on Youtube, a bit pricey at 199, IMHO, then I would rather go for Avenger. Needs tons of good presets. Sell it at 49.99 and start selliing preset packs at 20$ each, that’s how you grow user base. The concept is very cool though.
