Sorry about that, will add it to the manual. All parameters are automatable, so depending on DAW this should let you map it via CC.

If so, just a little issue with the installer for Pivot on Win 11
Yes, I'm 50% of Fors, 100% of R&D. :D
Ah, yikes- I'll look into that ASAP, thanks for the heads up. These Windows installers are pesky... :ud:

It would be cool if there were also exponential and filter FM. The free version sounds nice so far!

Neat!

Awesome will buy it tonight when I get home, as a total FM nerd I have been wanting something like this :)

John Chowning that father of FM said in a recent interview after all these years he still prefers 2op FM with the occasional 3rd op, so this has me in heaven

Cool to see you here on KVR!

Hope you don’t mind me posting this, but thought it was great seeing this video, and congrats on the release!

Does it support MPE or at least poly aftertouch?

Supposedly they’re working on it. But the MIDI implementation in Fors plugins is generally almost non-existent beyond the modwheel. They seem to assume people are just knob-twiddling with host automation.

It says Tela is Mac-only, so the Clap-version is also only for mac?

The answer to that was provided by the developer on the previous page...

Also any plans to migrate the max 4 live devices to cross platform plugins?
There are some loose plans for Tela! It wouldn't be an update so much as a rewrite/remake in JUCE, but regardless it would be free for existing users. I'd like to do it though, I think the synth engine is very interesting and deserving of a wider audience.

The Max for Live stuff– not sure. I think there are some favorites I'd like to try to re-imagine in a native plugin format, but I wouldn't want to do any direct ports.

Ah, thanks. Hadn't fikat yet 🤭

The more I play with Pivot, the more I appreciate the thoughtfully elegant, compact and efficient UI/UX. Lovely design.

This plugin is an absolute joy to use. Definitely looking forward to seeing what else this developer may release in the future. 💖

As I'm a Windows, non-Ableton user, I unfortunately had not been able to experience their other previous plugins, which also look great. But I hope more people will now start to notice Fors going forward, with their wider cross-platform, cross-DAW target demographic.

Judging by the username, this might be the person pretty much the brains behind Fors.

I think this one was the fastest Demo>Purchase ever!
I'm even ashamed I went for the demo after knowing the absolute delight of their devices.

Without as much as a doubt, I bought the full version this morning and can't wait to dig in 8)
Add me to the pile of people that will buy Tela as soon as a Windows version is made available!

:o You're a brave person. I'd never ditch OPS7 for anything, except for supplementing it with something to get the best of both.
