This is a stunning synth.
One of the first hybrid synths that manages to make everything sound cohesive.
It's kind of uncanny. Like synthetic sounds that found their way into the real world or natural sounds that found themselves being mangled in a digital world.
It's how everything comes together is what amazes me. The reverb does not feel like a send effect, it feels like it's part of the sound.
I do find it a bit cryptic and a there are a few head scratchy UI decisions. For instance why is the AB edit button tucked away in the preset button. I feel like it should be near the big AB slider in the middle. I may be missing something but there isn't anything in the way of manuals that I can find.
But none of this takes away from how awesome this sounds overall.
It took me all of 5 minutes using it before I bought it.
Amazing work.

One perceived glitch in 2.3.3: Logic doesn't save the MPE 'on' state. Isn't it supposed to? Or do I have to re-save the preset with MPE 'on'?

If it were easy, anybody could do it!

I'm struggling with the UI a little.
I think the wave (lower left is mostly fine)
The wave traingle is the oscillator shape. Somewhere in the middle is a pulse.
Noise is noise level.
FM is self explanatory.
Shadow is the level of the shadow oscillator.
Sub is self explanatory
String is the Karplus string model level and then there's a unison and detune with spread.
The body is where I'm a bit lost.
Decay=?
Heat- Some kind of saturation. Makes things darker.
Grain=?
Twist is the level of the twist modifier
Var is the impact of the harmonic variation in the material section?
I have no idea what morph and rate do?
Is it the case that you need to have a the body turned up to here what is going on in the material section. Material doesn't seem to have an effect when the body is turned down.
Some more in depth descriptions of the body and wave section would be great? (Although I think the Wave section is a lot more straightforward)
