In "The Eighty" GUI resize and preset change does work and no error messages. But I have to admit: the preset manager could be better. And the developer must have a pretty large screen or good eyes.

Which are you using? The presets in The Eighty work fine.

I tried 7 synths. I noticed later GUI resizing bug seems to be only for 505.
Preset change button bug for PolyKB3,The Eighty and 505 with my latest FL studio.
I guess DAW error massage would be only for non iLok trial versions.

It feel like The Eighty's sound is better than softube and of course arturia.
Hmmm I'm on the fence about buying The Eighty.

Perhaps the bug(s) is/are specific to FL? I recommend sending them an email. The developer, Xavier, is super nice. I assume that he is happy to be informed if there is a bug so he can fix it.

Someone on the Softube forum "gimped it" (whatever that means):

Figures, they can't be hassled fixing existing stuff when they can sell new hw instead

MODEL80 needs a "hide keyboard" option just like MODEL84 and the latter allows the right-click/lock of everything except CHORUS, which is non-sense. Tech support seemed careless when I asked and I just read on their wonderful forum that yeah, their coding team works on new stuff as to pay the bills.

I got both for 20 bucks each which is fantastic value, being abandonware basically.
