GUI is also way too brown....why? The Pro One was black wasnt it? (Long time since ive seen one in person tho...) CPU is huge for a mono synth. I doubt it will be reduced enough by final release to warrant spending cash on a mono.
I feel you. Although, I'm probably going to get it because it's a very nice emulation. That said, I've never liked the 3320 much. I have to laugh at all of the complaining about the volume dropping with resonance. It makes me wonder if some people have ever actually use an actual vintage analog.

I do like this synth/filter at very high resonance settings, but really only for special effects kinds of sounds.

BTW: Urs, if you're going to do a P5, do the rev1/2 variant with the SSM2040 filters, the difference is night and day. In fact, don't bother with all of that, just do a 2040 filter and put it in Diva. Call it Diva II if you like, I'm totally willing to give you money for it.

I get it though, the fetishists like emulations, even if they don't know what the real thing sounds like. A P5 will sell way more than Diva II.

Ok, so no one here is actually curious to know whether users might prefer a slightly different layout of controls on the Repro-1 UI and a more consistent, intuitive modulation routing system (when the survey to acquire this information could be constructed in 5 minutes or less).
No.

Just thinking...this thread started as the Repro Alpha thread. Actually it was 'RePro-Alpha' thread. Urs mentioned he was thinking of locking this thread and starting a new one for the Repro-1 Beta release. Instead he just updated it for the launch of Repro-1 Beta.

The RePro-Alpha free plug-in + vote was a really smart idea and got a lot of attention.

Considering how successful the Repro-1 launch has been already (even though it is not actually released yet :hihi:) I wonder how much this thread had to do with its success.

Just bought this. Brilliant, quirky and much more versatile than its limited appearance would indicate. Urs is a master that I always bow before.

If you paid for the full version will you just download it from the website when the full version is released ?

I have a serial number for now.

And i'm loving that this plug'in is forcing me to get used to monosynths again. The monos i've owned have all been fairly simple compared to this and most of the full featured plug-ins I own have polyphony as a given and tend to offer a different sort of purpose.

i understand about the desire to keep it real. I can work around it, I think i just got sucked into using res on the mod matrix.

Ok, feeling dumb, mod matrix? I do not see a mod matrix. I have 0.4.1.

Ah! Yes, I hadn't even really played with that much. I see now that it's actually pretty powerful and I can see why pushing the thing where the original didn't go would annoy you. Still, I'm absolutely not a fan of compensating for the sound of the filter in any of the standard ways as they will change the sound of the filter. Now I understand why people were asking for the master output as a modulation destination. I think that it might be cool to have four performance modulators instead of two, that would give at least a simple workaround for some cases because you could modulate all of the levels as well as the resonance, but, would be super fun for other things.

In any case, it's a triumph, even if I'm not a super fan of the CEM3320 sound in general. It's really nice to see more solid synths that have a solid and distinct character.

I absolutely do not want to pick at this particular scab, but FYI, Urs has made it clear that he is not interested in adding more "Performance" modulators to Repro-1 (and least as I understand him).

If you are a glutton for punishment, you can read pages 113 to 125 (yes over 10 pages!) of this thread for all the reasons why adding these additional modulation slots is apparently the worst idea in the history of synth emulations. LOL.

The mockup on page 118 which includes an expanded, dedicated "Flexi-Mod" section, a second LFO, and a set of hard-wired LFO mod destinations seems innocuous enough. But I obviously think so since I created it. :-)

Minor bug report:

I've had a few stuck key issues with Repro-1 but haven't had these with other synths. Just one key continually plays including once when it continued to play even after I removed the entire track from the DAW. Not readily reproducible I'm afraid.

There's a workaround. Turn on Sonic Conditioner, and use the Gain as a modulation destination. It's good for compensating the resonance and simulating Vel to Amp. For instance, to compensate resonance:

1. Let's say you've got resonance assigned to modwheel, but you're losing volume as you increase it, all you do is...
2. Turn on Sonic Conditioner
3. Assign modwheel to Sonic Conditioner Gain in the matrix (leave the amount knob at zero for now)
4. Increase modwheel to max
5. Increase the modulation amount knob until the volume is roughly the same at max modwheel as it is at minimum - that's it, now it's compensated

And rather than assign the Gain to modwheel, you can assign it to velocity to simulate Vel to Amp and get some dynamics added in. You can assign it to aftertouch, if you want that to control an increase or decrease in volume.

Just don't blame me if you blow your speakers, which is why I'm thinking Urs didn't make master output a destination in the first place.

Two feature requests for the Tweaks panel (wouldn't need to be in a 1.0 release):

1. A filter option that includes a gain compensated filter with high resonance, just as an added preference
2. A set of oscillators with less or no drift (or maybe a hidden drift level pot)
