The skin maybe yes but the colour of the Valhalla example looks OK to me.

Not sure if it's been said, but the osc volume sliders for filter 1 ... gah, how to describe this .... it's usually when opening up a new patch. The osc2 slider has it's graphic stuck until you manage to find where the invisible handle is. Once you do that and drag it a little, the animation works

Edit: Lava/gray skin!

It's fixed and will be available on the next update.

1. master should be named so it reflects what it is the master of...ie volume/gain
2. LFO rates mean nothing, need 1/1 1/4 1/18 etc
3. mod dest 'osc width' should be clear that its pulse width
4. init preset, osc 2 is set at 0.02 semitones, should be zero
5. tiny makrkers around some knobs that follow white lines are too small, they look like dust
6. its not clear until you actually try which waveforms have PWM
7. no double click to reset knobs/sliders
8. no option to turn osc sync on/off ?
9. needs a sub osc
10. fx (chorus.delay and phaser) are terrible, sorry, but they are, especially the phaser

now, im not trying to be too negative, these are just a few things i noticed on my first run thru.

i'll dig deeper during the weekend, and aplogies if any of those points have been mentioned before.

No he got taken to task because the Corona background is too white and not light grey....too harsh. If you consider potential customers the"peanut gallery" then I don't know what else to say.....

Does the "O2SYNC" button not work? It's below the two RM buttons.

We'll be the judge of how "professional" these sound designers are. I still think 250 presets is stingy compared to "other companies".

Not the same thing. Im talking about the phase of the osc syncing to gate/trigger. Need this for tight bsss sounds.

Hey, could I get some answers or input on my earlier non-skinning questions concerning specifics about the synth? Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Well they just are professional SOund Designers in the sense that, as a whole, the team has contributed to populate factory libraries of dozens and dozens of hardware and software synthesizers for prestigious companies.

Now like you say I'd suggest that you test the preset with the demo : Thats what demos are for after all, and even if each SD has its own style, and therefore we're assured of getting some very diverses approaches sound design wise, well, you cant just please everybody.

I just note that some users already did say that the preset were good, and I seem to remeber one person saying that there was not one bad preset in the first subset, and that it was quite rare, so it seems we have convinced at least some musicians

So yes everybody is his own judge about that.

Thanks Mcnoone, we hope you'll eventually make some presets for it
