That is unknown for now, but he said he will send a mail before the official release, so we could still buy at the intro price. Just subscribe to the Madrona Labs mailing listyume51 wrote: Sat Oct 05, 2024 10:52 pm I saw the following comment on youtube.

I’m really loving this synth so far. The sound is phenomenal. Definitely something to be used as a featured sound due to the CPU usage, but that’s why I keep a bunch of hardware synths around.

Thanks mate, I checked earlier today and it was still on the early access page. I'm so happy to see it finally released even though it eats my CPU for breakfastmartinjuenke wrote: Fri Nov 22, 2024 7:56 pmIt is actually released.

Sumu 1.0 ships.
Greetings! Forgive the SHOUTING in the subject line, I'm just so dang excited. If you've been following along here for a while, you know what a big deal this is: Sumu has officially shipped in a fully functional, playable, reviewable 1.0 version. This was a multi-year effort involving an entirely new graphics framework, a separate companion app, and an ambitious new audio engine that sounds like nothing else.
Over the last six months, a friendly team of volunteers has been helping me test Sumu for both usability and stability. Some new features and big usability improvements resulted from this concentrated time—so to all the beta testers, a big thanks.
If you've played with any of the betas, you know a little about what Sumu can do. If not, this is a great time to try it because there are exciting new features in the 1.0, including:
alternate tunings, exponential glide, and unison with drift in the input module
spectral tilt and shape controls in the partials module
popup LFO/utility menus for most dial params (right-cliick or click+hold)
many new patches/samples
In particular, the spectral shape control was a happy late discovery. It works something like the even / odd control on the Kawai 5000 (a weird and very digital vintage synth I have an unreasonable fondness for), turning a sawtooth wave into a square wave, and vocals into ???
For a limited time, Sumu 1.0 is still available at the introductory price of $129. What kind of limited time, you ask? Honestly I'm not sure yet. I just work here. But, we can say at least two weeks, and I'll let you know in another email before the deal ends, OK?
End-of-year sale!
Speaking of deals. We're doing the end-of-year thing again. All our plugins—Aalto, Kaivo, Virta and Aaltoverb—are 30% off through the end of November. So if you didn't do the bundle and don't have all the instruments you might need or want, now is the one time of the year when it's less expensive to fill in your collection.
I hope you enjoy exploring Sumu, whether as a demo or a purchase. This 1.0 is just a starting point for a new instrument with a lot of potential, with more features and workflow enhancements coming very soon. But right now I'm going to take a breather, enjoy my Thanksgiving holiday, and come back to focus on 1.0.1 (MPE, midi learn, optimizations) with renewed focus. I hope the rest of the month treats you kindly.
enjoy the sounds,
Randy

Woohoo!
Sumu is my favourite synth of the last year.
It's about as unique as it comes.
Sure there are other resynthesis synths out there but none are as weird and wonderful as Sumu
Amazing additions too!

The addition of the LFO per dial is a huge change that opens up some crazy options for sound design.
Like putting a slow triangle lfo on the pulses centre parameter allows you to sweep back and forth through the spectrum.
The noise lfo can add some great instability to various parameters
It also frees up the position parameter inputs to do something else if you use a sawtooth shape to scan through the partial map.
Retrigger options and one shot modes for the Lfos would be great.
The spectral tilt and shape is also very nice to have.
I love Sumu.

Still bad optimized. On my i9 with 32 Gb ram on windows 11 it uses 30% of cpu with latency of 512 ms. Do a standalone only if You can’t optimize more.
First synth I will pass from Randy
