I know this has been discussed before but I haven't heard news about Augur for a long long time. I love this synth and would like to know if there is any development going on for it. Anyone?

It gets a mention in the June 2006 Computer Music article on Pads and Ambience (there is even a short tutorial on creating a pad).

As a result of this article I found this synth and have been playing with at at every opportunity: what a great synth and not too heavy on resources with 8 voices.

It would be useful to have some documentation on the controls: what do the 8 Pan knobs control, and what does the Analog switch do? I am learning to use this synth by experiment, but some docuemation would be helpful.

It is an eight-voice synth, each voice with each own panning control (the 8 pan knobs). You can get sounds nicely spread in the stereo field by using them.

My guess is that the analog switch does something on the filter modeling (well, just because its positioned on the right of the filter Mode selector...) but nothing very noticeable for me (so far at least).

Great synth; I would love to see some tempo-synced envelopes on it. This is one of the features that have been asked in the past, that's why my original post about any new development going on for it.

Antti has said he would do more development if someone with a real Prophet VS would help him (I think he meant comparisons - not technical stuff) regarding the 'emulation' to some extent. He seems to want to get it right!! :D

Is there anybody out there?? :P

Plus you can modulate them using an LFO to get some nice stereo field movement :) (Just like in the original which is one reason why it was popular for film music)

Yea, anybody with original Prophet VS hardware ? Speak out! :)

Nope - closest I've got is Creamware's Vectron which has all the original waveforms and is based on it but not intended as an absolute clone.
