First :-)
Has anyone managed to find an INIT preset? Or is there a menu entry where I can reset the current patch to INIT?

There is one called default that i then put as favorite.
One of my pet peeve with many synths. The absence of a single init button^^

Why can't I download this synth without giving away my mail address...? :(

You can. I do not know what limitations the unregistered version has, but at least it opens and makes sounds. To register, you still need to give them an email.

Seems it indeed needs a registration. Too much hassle. Uninstalled.

Listen to 7/1/82 OSC194 Monolit by Mauvecastle on #SoundCloud

OSC 194 Monolit
Reaper 7.3 30 instances
ReEQ, ReaLimit, Supermassive Valhalla, Raum, JS velocity and humanizer randomizer, JS: Saturation, LoudMax.

Might make super tiny adjustments later.

I liked this round. This is what the OSC is about to me. Taking an admittedly not very good synth that I would never otherwise use and managing to make something that I at least really like.

I updated my track - how is possible that new uploaded track have the same link? I though that I must update info, but link is for sure the same. I have free SoundCloud account so I must delete previous track and then upload new one.

It's not actually the same link. Not on the playlist I made. But I'll re-add it.
