The purchase doesn't seem to work so far but the demo version is available here:

UPDATE:
I just tested the demo for a few minutes but i'm already blown away by this. No matter if it's the sound quality, the GUI or the features this is just PERFECT!! I have the feeling that this will make several of my other VA synths useless, especially in combination with the PolyKB II.

Just playing with a preset called "LD Laser Harp III LtZ". Any idea about that?

The feature which could be maybe added is a Reverb but that could be done with an external FX. With the Mod Matrix you even do FM sounds as you could use the OSCs as Sources and Destinations. The "typical" analog sounds are just great IMO.

Not all good.

Installed on Windows Vista Home. Running Reaper 3.7.4.0. Insert new Virtual Instrument track and it dies straight off. Even with Run as Administrator. Other Xils plugin i.e. Xils3LE are ok.

U can get a good pseudo reverb when combining the delay & stereo modules .

Hello Simon,

thanks for the tip.

Not all good.

Installed on Windows Vista Home. Running Reaper 3.7.4.0. Insert new Virtual Instrument track and it dies straight off. Even with Run as Administrator. Other Xils plugin i.e. Xils3LE are ok.

The demo is running rock solid on Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit and Ableton Live 8.2.2 here.

UPDATE:
I always get a crash when i CLOSE the current Ableton Live project but not while using the demo. Opening and closing the GUi also produces no crash. Reloading a project works too. It's only crashing when i close the project.

Figured it out. Well at least one way to avoid the problem. If I install the vst dll into a subdirectory of the resource directory created it finds everything fine - no crash in reaper.

Deleting the demo instance from a channel crashes Live 8.1.4 for me.

Hi Spratman, hakey
Thanks for this report. I will check it asap.

@ingo : Thanks for your kind words and you also report.

A word regarding the layers.
When a multi-layer preset is launched, you can't change its parameters.
For this you must enable it.

To make a layer writeable :
_ right click on a layer : makes it writeable, and only this one
_ Ctrl click on a layer : makes it writeable, but keeps the other already selected layers writeable
_ use the two bars below or above the layer tool bar . Below : all the layer are writeable. Above, toggle function.

Maybe some room for improving this part.

Anyway, thanks to all of your for your interest in the Synthix !


Best regards
Xavier

EDIT

[djanthonyw]

When browsing through the presets the knobs such as filter cut off and resonance are not working. Is this part of the demo limitations?

This only works with the preset called "Init" which you get automatically with a new instance.

UPDATE: See Xaviers last post above.
