Madrona Labs Sumu

You'll see there's a greyed-out control called "tilt" in the partials section. That feature is just not implemented yet.

You know, somehow my eyes have been skipping right over that. Perfect.

Just for fun, I put the Studio Bundle in my cart to see how it played out, but it isn’t giving me credit for my Kaivo license. I have all the products, so they need to double check this.

Same experience here - Kaivo missing.

heh for me Aalto missing (but Kaivo and Virta counts)

Intriguing stuff.. Like Additive, Fm and granular in one but a weird version of all of them inside a spatial doppler thingy. Some quite beautiful and unique results but just scratching the surface.

I can't make head nor tail of this thing.

Everything sounds like trash can full of ferrets being rolled down a concrete stairs.

Studio One 4 crashed, but yes it's old, not sure how it would be in latest Studio One v6. Perhaps ok, because i started to notice in latest times that v4 not a first time (2-3 cases was) does not like latest VST3 plugs, it seems there is some refreshed code that read only in newly DAWs, unfortunately.
And did run ok in Ableton 11.
So, about plug, looks interesting but CPU usage...with 1 voice pretty ok, but with 8, near to unusable (70% +), and instant cpu clipping (100% +) with 16 voices.
With all respect to Randy stuff, I'll think skip it for now.
Win10 latest here.

I gave up on the YT video after a few minutes as it was unpleasant.

So true!!
I should have a folder of presets in the final release along with several other beta testers

Love me some Bob Swan ferrets in a trashcan presets, can't wait to hear them.

I wound up buying it, and the more I mess with it (I'm supposed to be working! heh) the more I like it.

I have a horror-movie inharmonic drone patch going right now that might just be an entire track on its own.

There's some unexpected pleasant surprises, like you can patch Pulses to the gate input on Envelopes (to shape things even more) or the reset input on Space (if you have stuff drifting off and want to individually reset each node's position)...

Patching Partials Pitch to Osc Pitch but turning the knob way down so it's barely detuning, then using that 64-sine unison for FM...

Awesome.

That's the best I've heard it sound.

Trying to demo it ... too much noise too often!

Insane cpu with large cpu spikes with audio dropouts even with 4 voices, it needs optimization for sure , and maybe a low cpu mode , less partials maybe?

In this state it's rather dubious to call it a "demo version", and at official release will it have an intro offer , from what it reads the intro offer is the current beta release (early access) and at release it will be full price!!!???

It just crashes reaper and mulab immediately.

Sounds lovely but also sounds like lots of other synths out there....

I really like all the ML stuff, but it's also a bit underpowered for the amount of juice it takes to run. This one is the most interesting to me but I can already do crazy resynthesis in other ways that don't break my CPU even a little bit.

[pekbro]

I wonder if the intro pricing is reflected in the bundle? If the bundle pricing doesn't change, its not a big deal to wait. Only $14 more for me to complete the bundle. The cpu tho, ouch...
