Hello! I am looking at this one and it sounds very nice.
But I am having major issues patching the synth on my laptop screen.
Actually I don't think it is possible to program this synth so easy..the gui is so big and it's hard to read the modules without zooming.
Once zoomed in it is impossible to patch it.
How does one patch anything unless it is fullscreen? Is this synth supposed to be running on a large monitor only?
Arturia solved it easily on their moog modular
with the right click option...

Can't confirm one hundred percent, but I am sure the gui can be resized? I had a similar issue with the MS20, almost sure I right clicked near the logo

I don't have the synth so this is a stab in the dark: Maybe you can assign the panel selection tabs to your Laptop qwerty keys or to your midi controller and switch while holding a virtual patch cord?

If it gets too frustrating, you may want to give FB-3300 a shot. VA of the same synth, and it doesn't use patch cables, but has all the same patch points as menus. It's free.

There is a not insignificant difference in sound between the two, though. No shade on Full Bucket, as Björn didn't really have access to an actual unit to measure against. Korg did so against three actual units.
That said, I would never try to use that plugin on a laptop, unless there's an externally hooked up display to allow for better overview.

There's also the Cherry Audio version. You can click on a 'Focus' tab and it will zoom into a section. It will auto scroll as you drag a patch cord with your mouse. I don't know how it compares soundwise.
