Wavea Flite, new Synthesizer/sampler plugin

[db3]

I can see it as another splice acquisition in a year , with splice sample integration

...and never sees an update again.
See also: Audiaire.

Yes, this looks interesting, but Sample Magic and Audiaire product history makes me hesitate.

It looks like challenge/response copy protection, unfortunately.....

Fortunately it doesn't require iLok or that Bit thingy whose name I can't remember or any other third party software.

Can't please everybody.......

I've had a little play with this now. It has some lovely multi-sampled presets and a bunch of well produced electronic drum kits. Worth downloading for the free 200 preset player at least.

This is a nicely designed and flexible solution to sell sample libraries. If they retain the quality and get the pricing right this could be a winner.

Tempting, but I've already gone down the Soundpaint route and I'm pretty happy.

The free version is very well worth a download, some great preset patches especially pads, good tweakability with macros.
Somehow reminds me of Arturia Analog Lab model. Maybe they will introduce paying banks for the free model.
I gave feedback, the 1st thing to patch for me is add favourites/star rating in the preset system, which I wish would be a de facto standard on all plugins.

It's a cool plugin. The synth section alone is fun. Nice sounds. There is no way to load presets via the cursor pad on my keyboard. I can select presets with the up/down arrows, but no loading. That's a pity. The less clicks needed the better.

EDIT: also: Missing solo buttons on the 4 sample layers

Exactly. Hope they add these features.

Currently, this plugin is on sale for $59.99 and code WEEKEND30 knocks off 30%/$18 making it $41.99 only. So, I decided to grab it.

Better hurry though as the extended sale likely ends today and this is the lowest price yet.

Has it been updated at all since release? Or is it solid enough that no updates are necessary?

[LoveEnigma18]

It is on version 1.1.2 and there were some decent/QOL updates: new polyphonic sequencer and preset favourite feature including bug fixes and stability updates for both PC and Mac.

One bug I remember in particular with using the free version is that the preset got reset to default upon reloading the project, which was fixed in 1.1.2.

I hope they add the two features mentioned above.

We've just updated Flite to the free v1.1.3 update which can be downloaded at www.wavea.co

Just install over your existing build

There are quite a few minor UI bug fixes but the biggest update is that you can now import Decent Sampler files directly into the sampler.
Kontakt nki files can be converted to the Decent Sampler xml file format in Creator Tools and subsequently imported in also.

Here's a vid outlining it all

Oh, man! You are killing me! You've got to support Linux really soon!!

Thank you for the information and for this excellent synth. Looking forward to downloading the update this weekend.

I hope you will add solo button on the sound sources and a faster way to load presets soon.

Keep up the great work!

I have really been enjoying this synth! Thanks for the recent updates that allow for Decent Sampler import format. With Flite and Convert with Moss, I'm off to the races.
