Hm... I hate to be a downer... but this kind of doesn't sound that good to me, and I have what I consider a very wide range of what I think is good.

Downloading. Dawesome is one company I think about buying. I use only free things now and love Zyklop. Want to ask will it always be on the dawesome site or will you eventually have to get it from tracktion?
And I think too if I'm getting things that fit in the same sound box because it sounds close to the mok synths I got.

This is very cool. Lots of scope for some unique and interesting sound design. Already made a few patches while tinkering with it before hitting the sack. Will dig into it more tomorrow. Grats on the release!

The sonic range is _much_ wider than the mok synths!

Okay. I don't like that but that just slows me down from pulling the trigger. Had some weird stuff happen using it before. Some of their plugins leave files that won't come off when you try to uninstall and delete them. Be nice if I can get them straight from you.PetVor wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 10:34 pmEventually your license will be managed via tracktion.aanano wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 10:27 pm Downloading.

Absolutely fantastic synth.
The scan section is insane. So much variety in that section alone.
I feel in a way it's probably Dawesome's most accessible synth in that it can get conventional sounds pretty easily but it can absolutely go completely chaotic without much effort but it never feels unruly. A controlled chaos if you will.
The fact that you can load pretty much anything in as a source is absolutely bonkers.
It's a great synth for swapping the wave tables out on the fly.
Another winner, imho and I'm only really scratching the surface.

Fabulous instrument and fabulous take on wave terrain synthesis.
So direct and so instrument-like interface. A must, no doubt.
At 1st site I was blown away of how organic it can get and
the (I've never seen before) "multi-playheads" when using MPE!
Bigups Peter!
I'll play with it all wknd long. (raining non stop here)

Will be making a controller template for this for Bitwig and Komplete Kontrol over the weekend (good way to learn how it all fits together)
