Haven't tried random on Saurus 3, but it works really well on another Tone 2 synth, Warlock. Whether the random is usable to you depends on your own tastes though which is why there's a demo.

Ideas for a future update to make the user preset experience nicer:

For Saurus3 I seem to not be able to create a user folder to store my patches in. Ideally I like when I'm able to create 2 levels of directories, a User folder, and then inside of it folders for Bass, Lead, Pad, etc. But at minimum I think there should be a "user" folder to store patches in.

Edit:
also, it seems like when I go to save a preset, it opens up whatever random directory I last used on my system. It should probably open up to the last directory that Saurus itself used, or to Saurus' default preset directory. I just tried to save a preset and it opened up Phuturetone GR-8 because that was the last directory I was in. Now I have to try and find Saurus' preset directory which I will never remember because I have too many plugins to remember where all the presets for every plugin are saved.

The 32Bit download seems to be the Saurus2.. so the downloads are not updated yet.

The random button in Saurus3 works really well.

Apart from this you I'd recommend Warlock to you:

https://www.tone2.com/warlock.html

Warlock is a mighty digital synthesizer that comes with a reduced user-interface to facilitate an efficient workflow. It offers high-end sound-quality and ships with 2140 patches. The random-button can generate an unlimited number of useful sounds.

Saurus3 is online now. Saurus3 is 64 bit only. The upgrade to v3.0 is free for all Saurus users.

Hi Markus thanks for confirming. I got a bit confused when I only saw mac and 32bit download options this morning and thought I had misunderstood something. Yourself and 4damind cleared this up for me. I own saurus 2 already so thanks for the free update.

edit, ahhh i had to refresh the page

downloading now, thx!

testin so far, Markus you know i love RANDOM

, it seems pretty cool so far as it changes nearly all knobs what i see.
would you maybe consider putting a hotke on the gui or maybe hotkey for the keyboard to hit the random feature?
again thx so much that you continue and release these great products!

edit:
another thing, maybe is it possible to add mousewheel support for changing values? e.g. Arp Ocateves?

Available now: Tone2 Saurus4 analog synthesizer
