Found out about this from an email. Patreon exclusive apparently, until Aug. 17. I like the very last patch best.

So are Patreon memberships recurring or one time payments? I mean for $25 this thing is certainly worth it.

It’s a monthly subscription with recurring, automatic payments. FXFX Audio is offering this synth for free to their Patrons. And new Patreon members can get the synth when they subscribe at the $25 a month tier until August 17th. Their website says that there will be a public release in September, with a price of $89.wagtunes wrote: Sun Jul 19, 2026 8:02 pm So are Patreon memberships recurring or one time payments?

I really enjoy the sound of all their effects, and I figured that it was only a matter of time until they released a full-on synth. I haven’t tried it for myself yet, but I’m happy that they’ve made it a reality. They’re an awesome developer!

I got it. I'm currently clicking through presets and there's some nice ones in there. To me basically if you like their effects plugins it has a similar sonic character and operation. Lot of good bass preets so far, though some get a little samey and a lot aren't my style.
Certainly worth 25 bucks. I've yet to go through the pads, so I'm looking forward to that. I also like the layout of the gui, though the waveshaper at 16x os crushes my cpu, so prob. won't use that much.
I do feel mildly guilty about getting the 25$ a month tier then cancelling, but hey it's allowed and really I just wanted the synth like the softsynth collecting whore I am, excuse the expression.

I will say it's on the thinner sounding side. It also has no traditional effects that I can tell like reverb or delay, though there is an fx section, technically It does have that insane lfo capability like their fx plugins, so if you like a lot of movement in your patches, this has that in spades.
Running through the lead category or presets and I don't lke most of them, but then again I've never been much of a lead presets guy, and am very fickle with leads typically.

aaaand some nice pads. Did come across some decent leads, too. Overall I like it. Probably more as a niche/ backup synth really. At times I was doubtful, but it has a sweet spot after all.
I've yet to try it in a track, which is were rubber meets road really, so when I do I may be back to update my impression far as that goes.

Seems to sound pretty good, though I'd have liked for that video to be twice as long and have half of it be a walk though. I can't really find anything about what it does.
