Ultra Audio - Ultra (A fancy Vital-style synth that popped up out of nowhere)

Thanks for the feedback.
I've tried to import as wavetable, and used this 2048 size setting ( Icarus has 2048 frames),
but was not satisfied enough with the results.

Did they import as wavetables? If it works, there should be a page to choose frame size.

The only problem I see is that it is not fully a cross platform desktop plugin. These days, true cross platform support includes all three desktop OSes: Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It would be awesome if the developer chose to make his plugin a true cross platform desktop plugin.

Those Linux users are like the vegans of the electronic music world.

Not to derail the thread too much, but I do wonder what amount of producers really use Linux. I think KVR may have some vocal members that look for it, but it’s probably a relatively small minority even here and perhaps more so outside of KVR. I wonder if there’s any good polling anywhere

For the moment the only thing that’s pushing me back is the low number of presets.

Totally agree that it needs more factory presets - they will sync and automatically install as we add them.

I'm currently running the trial and note there are additional presets available in the store. Does the paid version give you more, or do you plan to include more from the store given the above?

LOL!! I would say "...of the music world..." It doesn't have to be just "electronic".

We ARE a passionate lot though, aren't we?

If all the coding hours spent on Linux and Mac compatibility updates were spent on improving plugins, we’d have plugins that could end war in our time.

Another Linux user here who would be interested in seeing more plugins available to choose from.

Ending war in our time sounds like something I could personally go for......... but would happen to all of the angry MacOS users and the eager and hopeful Linux users?

After saving my own wavetable created in Ultra I can't find it anywhere on my system (checked all the usual suspects, user library included). I guess the saved waves are renamed to something else internally. As I would like to use these exported WTs in other synths, please give us a hint where they are being saved.

I found an .ogg file created just now, I saved my WT named “Vox Waves 01“ and it is now saved as “3AA3EE2A-AEAC-4649-9822-F215D1F1EBE1_A_1.ogg“ - please let us save our own WTs in wav format, that would be very helpful.

The Trial mode gives you 100 free credits, which you can use in the store.

If you end up buying Ultra, you get another 100 credits.
The first 100 free credits convert over to paid credits, and the pack authors get paid at that time for anything you 'purchased' during the trial.

The ogg file is only an audio preview for the Ultrawave, which is used in the menu under the screen to let you hear the UltraWave without loading it. It doesn't contain all the cycles, it's an audio render.

The UltraWave map, including all wavetables, pitch curves etc are saved in our own format called .uwd (which is in a similar place on disk).

Yes, there was a page, where I can choose the size. I think it was imported as wavetable, but i was not good at finding the proper speed and method to play it back with good result.
So thanks for your feedback, i have no other questions.
One comment though:
I had difficulties when tried to choose/create an LFO shape that is a simple saw up. Maybe more LFO shape presets would be better to chose from.

You can always set the playback to 'Wavetable' mode, and control wavetable position, like any other wavetable synth

There's a few ways to make a saw LFO that's rising...
