The synth appears to be hijacking the audio when I try to use reverb but I can still use it in cakewalk. hopefully a new soundcard will fix whatever causes this.. The sound appears to be in cakewalk though with the volume meter going up and down... get some intresting sounds with it anyway.

@Richard: I assume that adding single cycle waveforms in "Custom 1" and "Custom 2" is allowed. Right?

I see no problem with this - same as with other wavetable synths we have used in the past.

I'm liking this synth! I've already got a Godzilla sound and some cool percs so far...

Love it as well ... there's a crazy guy going by the name of "Rubi" at Tonez Discord. He's doing charts ready Hardstyle ... production quality that blows my mind. You can check out his soudcloud as well...
Anyways - because we had 4 days of constant raining cats and dogs I have already a pretty nice sketch for you ... enjoy:

This synth was apparently coded using CSound. Very unusual.

Sure enough!

Can't quite get it to run on MacOS (Apple Silicon M1). :shrug:

This plugin fails in be detected by FLStudio (or to better say: it is detected but marked as "error").... there's anything i should do to help it?

@dexrow I'm using Reaper and it's been a chore to get it work smoothly in it, too. It also looks like using the built-in effects causes the VST to hog a lot of CPU usage and I've had to freeze/unfreeze the single tracks God only knows how many times already. But I'm liking the sounds you can extract from it so far
@IV! For real, haha. And those LFO rates in sync mode... seriously, what are even those?! :shock:

Anyone tried to use ToneZ with Ableton Live 11 ? On windows, Ableton doesn't seem to see the plugin after scanning the plugin folder

[Edit] I just installed the synth on MacOS and the same problem occurs with Ableton Live 11

I keep wondering if changing the virtual memory or memory settings would help play those. It is tempting to be able to use all those csound stuff and have some software to make some effect vsts.. right now I have all those plugins set to the side in my organization software

I can't get ToneZ V2 to run in Cabbage 2.9.0 on Linux (using Linux binary download from cabbageaudio.com). The ToneZ UI shows, but there's no sound and the Cabbage log window shows these errors:

https://cpaste.org/?29c03ee45101cd6b#J9 ... uDab91Z5ra

(Using JACK and the audio output test in the settings windows produces audible test tone.)

And hints?

Update: The binary download for the Linux VST3 plugin from https://www.retornz.com/plugins/tonez works.
