Now just need to get yabridge working; Bitwig and native Linux plugins run Luke a charm and the OS is super snappy compared to W11
Nice! I’m using Silverblue! :) I love the atomic distros!! :)

So stoked for Phonec3, one of my favorite synths. Hope it has a more user friendly preset system, find saving and recalling presets in Phonec2 a chore. My only real criticism.

How’s Phonec progress? Was it a January target?

I don't know about the current progress but January was a target, dependent on the preorders. Here's a copy of the preorder email:
Preorders will help fund the remainder of this project and allow me to release Phonec3 as soon as January 2026.
I've preordered and I'm excited but I guess we will have to be patient, it's a solo-development after all!

Very excited for this and hoping to run it on my Linux set up via Wine.

Phonec is a daily driver for me and a new version is exciting!

This is set for release tomorrow, as per Facebook...

Can't wait.

I still haven't got an email for pre-launch upgrade from 2 to 3, even if I sent an email to support, but I guess he/they are very busy at the moment. Will probably just pay the full price, if I don't get it before the launch though.

Yeah emailed about a week ago too and unfortunately still not heard anything back regarding a pre-order upgrade/discount code

The new layout is cleaner. I'm expecting small improvements rather than bold new features. I'd love for Phonec to get more attention because it's such a cool synth.

Any word yet as to what time today?

Post

It's still morning in New Orleans, LA, USA
Let the man have a breakfast at least, he probably didn't get much sleep too ;)

Edit: It's getting late indeed, even in New Orleans...
just checked the website, still no v.3 in sight.

Those who preordered check your email, the download should be active. The rest of us "will follow later" as per author's comment on Facebook.
Also: "I'm working on the website as we speak. Had to take care of pre-orders first. Once the pages are launched the demo will be available. Sometime this evening."

Unfortunately Phonec3 is crashing FL Studio to desktop on Windows upon loading. Have submitted a bug report but I expect he'll be rather busy at the moment.
