Strange. I tried running the plugin in Cubase 15, went through all the factory presets, still unable to reproduce any latency issues :neutral:

But I'm happy you got some enjoyment out of the synth despite some issues, and congrats to being the first submitter this month :party:

The synth's a blast to program. It's more powerful than you would think just looking at it. Some of the OSC options are really cool. Do we get to keep this? I'm assuming at some point this will be a pay to own synth.

Thanks, glad you enjoy it! :tu:
I'm hoping to release a bigger paid version of it sometime in the coming months, but Deimos itself will stay free! :)

Here's my entry for this month's challenge, in memory of all the broken electric organs and dragging tape players of my youth.

Tracktion Waveform Pro 13
Three instances of Deimos
Three instances of Tracktion's #TEqualizer, one instance of #TLimiter
One instance of Auburn Sounds' spectral dynamics processor Lens (free version) on the master bus.

All righty then! Results for 206 are out and an arbitrary target has been reached so here's this month's prelim playlist:

Here's my submission for this month - something a bit more upbeat than last time! I must say, Deimos is a great sounding synth with a lot of cool oscillator options to get a bit more varied sounds than the typical virtual analog.

I'll ask here because I'm afk and won't install Discord on my phone (it distracts from my day-job, lol):

How are the rules on paid VST hosts like Megamod or the recently released Msh, if no otherwise-illegal parts of it (built-in fx, audiorate modulation, etc) are used?

Edit: my logic in asking this question is that the DAWs used to participate aren't necessarily free either (with notable exceptions like Reaper/etc); and all I'd be using the hosts for are parallel blends and modulation.

I think others have used VST hosts before when a VST would not load correctly into their DAW, so I see no problem so long as you don't use any "non-OSC-friendly" features.

BTW, Reaper is not free, but cheap! But you knew that.
