Acustica Audio debuts THING - Iconic '80s Synth Reimagined for a New Era

[db3]

THING - rel. A062 / THING (trial) - rel. A013
New ENV-PRO mode (TH5)
New VCF-PRO mode (TH5, TH8)
New TH8 presets
Reduced clicking noise

Pasted from GS...
The first improvement is an enhanced smoothing system for the initial phase of the attack, specifically within the first millisecond. If issues persist after this adjustment, they are unlikely to be attack-related and should instead be investigated to see if the synthesis or specific presets might be causing clicky sounds.

Another big addition in today’s update is the introduction of a new envelope generator (EG) and a new filter, both modeled after a different machine. The quality of this new filter is exceptionally high, as we’ve applied the same meticulous approach used for the synth’s primary filter. However, this time, we’re replicating another hardware unit.

This thing is getting closer to a purchase for me.

We just got another update with OMX Multi-filters, this is getting better each day.

[db3]

OMX was there before. Not checked yet, but I would have thought Pro = Prophet. Hopefully the best one...SSM.

[trusampler]

I stand corrected, I guess I never saw the OMX filter before lol

[db3]

So it's the OTA (SSM) found in the Pro5 rev1&2. Nice.

Before adding new filter models and extra features. they need to stop, take a breath, and fix the parameter values reported to the DAW. Not 0 to 1 for everything. Real values please.

Didn't they do they a few days ago?

At least for some things?

No, I re-downloaded today. All toggles, knobs, sliders... everything 0.000000 - 1.000000

I just checked, the OSC's will now show Saw, Square, etc., the octave settings will show 4, 8, 16.

Oh are you using the full version ? I’m still trying the trial version. I thought they had the same improvements.

Also what system and plugin format are you using?

[Funkybot's Evil Twin]

Demo version, VST3, Reaper, Windows.

Aha, I was using the audio unit. Tried the VST3 and indeed I see the real parameter values now in Ableton. Hopefully they will do the audio unit as well for use in Logic. Not sure if the dev is still kicking around but would love to hear if that's coming.

I'm about to pull the trigger I think, as long as parameter values get added to the AU.

And have to ask - MPE possible?

[BrokenTrance]

Probably a very good vsti. But to have to create an account to demo is not very good i think.

Right 30 seconds of work to get an opportunity to play one if not the best sounding vstsynths ever made , yeah that's unacceptable to put in 30 seconds of work in on your part. Where do people come up with these rules ?
