No surprise, because of the fact, that the "original" sound comes from a Virus

You have to layer both: LD Tech Lead and LD Rude... the LD Rude is the Bass fundament, while LD Tech Lead brings up the high end... and hard sync yes, no or whatever... these 2 toghether is the closest "non-virus-reincarnation" I've ever heard from this sound

why not put it global like the pitch bend? with a simple on and off switch.
those who want it globally can turn it on... those who don't, turn it off and use it in the matrix

We will add this feature in future updates.

thanks

BTW TThe patch is all about hard sync (oops..again) + some detune . You have to set 2nd OSC to +31 semitones and press "sync" knob.

Your Vember Surge preset came pretty close too.

Actually Surge was way ahead of its time.
Back then I didn't understand much about programming and for some reason it ended up never being used.

But yeah back to Spire it would be nice to see it get hardsync.

Hardsync also be available in future..
Currently priorities: Arp, Stepper, reduce CPU.

Yeah understood vega555,
Can live without it for sure.
Glad to hear the cpu consumption is a current priority

I'm sure Hard Sync is possible, but it's hard to implement in oscillators with serious detune. I don't know how Spire is coded vega555, but if the detune multiplies the oscillators, you can have the sync set to just one oscillator. If you try and hard sync detuned multiple oscillators it sounds like a mess.
Good luck with it. I very much like the sound of Spire. I hear a deepness there that's missing in so much stuff.

I agree with this. There are a lot of Sylenth users looking for a 64 bit alternative and this is Spire's chance to grab that market. It really does make sense to act on 64 bit quickly, especially considering the quality of Spire's sound.

I have tested Spire and I have to say that I love it so much!

As many people on this forum have already predicted the great success for Spire in a case of 64 bit MAC version and I'm not exception =)

In addition to all other things been written here I would like to see some kind of master output indication like Sylenth or Massive have. I found that Spire sounds less loud on most of the presets in comparison to other VSTs i use and the indication will help me to adjust the main volume.

Also I got really strange clicks on some sounds.

And the preset:

If I switch unison to 1 voice the clicks disappear.

Yeah, syncing a cluster of waves to one master frequency is useless, because the tiny pitch differences in each oscillator are negligable in sync terms. That's why most synths that offer sync don't allow unison/stacked oscillators and sync together. Those that do and do it well typically give each oscillator in the stack it's own master to sync by, with the array of master oscillators undergoing the same detune as the slaves. That way, you can have sync and stacked oscillators and get the full benefit of both (and it sounds pretty nice when done right!).

*sigh* I was really hoping Imposcar 2 would have sync. That would have been monster.

Awesome! Looking forward to what you will do

Im not sure about dev collaboration, but U-he seem really good at code optimization..

Very cool demo that shows some of what Spire is capable of.

I like the way you the put all the preset names used with each demo.
Especially useful for those that haven't got the time to make a construction
kit that works.

Looks like Spire has got off to a nice start.
Hope you are enjoying a level of sales success even at this early stage.
