STRANG 2: a classic subtractive synth with a living body - 2.0.4 Out now!

[quantasticalsound]

Right now it's online activation, and after that it runs offline, only needing to reach the server about once a month. Fully offline activation is supported by Moonbase and on my near-term roadmap, it's just not exposed in the UI yet.

Dealbreaker for you?

I really like the sound and the simplicity of the synth! I have two requests that would push me into purchase territory:

1. I'm a linux user. I would LOVE to have a Linux native version.

2. With copy protection, I look for one thing, which has been successfully proven capable of being done, by other developers -- I want to be able to archive my software and its authorization, and be able to pull it off my back up drive and authorize my software onto a new machine, even if the company no longer exists or no longer supports the product. It can be serial, keyfile, watermark, a data card (like U-he and Plogue use), or whatever.

Please consider providing these things!

Im looking into this! I should be able to build a Linux-version. watch this space!

This would be awesome!! May I let the other Linux users know?

Yes, please spread the word!

I'm on it!

Linux version not far away! hopefully

This sounds great and would benefit enormously from MPE support. It should do pitch bend though... At least pitch bend. I play it with a LinnStrument and MPE is pretty important...

STRANG 2.0.4 is out now
www.quantasticalsound.com


- Fixed a crash when closing the plugin window (could hit any platform)
- Reverb now matches the standalone Corridor engine: fuller, warmer, correct room size, no more rattle
- Stereo room placement across all reverb presets (several were mono and leaning left before)
- MORPH reworked: DEPTH is amount, RATE is motion, RATE at 0 gives a static blend. Stronger contrast toward B
- HEAT/FOLD level smoothing: auto gain compensation tames the volume jumps when you engage or push them. Not perfect in every case, but much more consistent
- No more clicks when switching presets
- Fixed the first-note click after loading a preset (the old "few clicks then clean" thing)
- Arrow keys now browse the preset list
- TWIST PITCH shows in semitones
- Double-click resets any fader or bar to default

Thanks to everyone testing and reporting, it genuinely shapes what gets fixed first. Keep it coming.

Also, I used a few of your kind words from this thread in some promo material. Hope that's ok, and thank you, it means a lot.

This sounds great, congratulations!
Would buy but alas, cannot allocate money to musical instruments at the moment.

thanks so much, i had some struggle when trying to make some nice ambient sound as it was killing my cpu in FL Studio and need to test it out asap! thanks sooooo much

For me this is an example of a synth which inspires you instantly and fills the whole stereo field with quality.

Is Strang’s synthesis similar at all to the Morphor ECHON 6?

Wow this sounds amazing and stylistically right in line with what I like to make. Unfortunate I missed the giveaway but I'll grab the demo and see if I can't save a little to pick it up.
