The new one looks cool, d/l'ed it, I'll try it out tomorrow.

I always forget which way the oversampler switch is, if it's left-off, right-off, or turn the two switches inward for on modes...

Edit: Tryed it, glad to see it says oversampler now, looks-wise it's great, some of the new patches are amazing, but the top left knob, shift mix when all the way to the right is nothing but clicking noises. A lot of the presets have it set all the way to the right. When I turn the reverb down I'm only at 26% Cpu.

The pitchshifter is very hungry, RunBeerRun, needs a lot of CPU horsepower... but the standard edition is faster now, try it!

Really sweet synth now - the big pops and bangs I was getting in 1.0.6 are now banished from 1.0.7. I thought I DLed the landing version but the skin looked like standard. I'll have to check it again. Anyhoo, thank you for sharing this wonderful synth Acrobat!

Ok, I got it LE is the landing edition! Doh!

Lovin' the update. Thanks for the Lander!

Here is the first round of an idea I'm working on with 2x Alieno, 2x LE, Replicant and jb_barricade.

Shift mode turned all the way to the right gives me nothing but crackles. I'm only at 27% cpu at the most of any of the patches.

It's not a problem, but I don't know what that knob exactly does.

Edit: I got it working now. This time, ran it in Reaper 1.888, went thru all the presets, many have shift knob all the way up, sounded normal. Cpu isn't a problem, I always turn off echo and reverb. There may be some weirdness in Savihost with the new landing edition, that's how it's working on my computer.

Landing edition sounds really cool, I've literally played with it only 5 minutes so far. The regular edition is one of my go-to synths, the presets never disappoint. Thanks!

That was not so pro, to put switches without labels, now it's all at the right place.
One little mod I still have to do is a "General settings" screen, where adjusting velocity curve, oversampling, etc. and make Alieno reminds all those everytime, that's a to-do!

Ha ha, yeah that oversampler switch wasn't a problem though, I think it was to the right is on. I just looked at Cpu and when it went up a little it was on.

Getting into Landing Edition now, the left effects side(Shift and particle)remind me of Nightmare machine, a Darkware thing. Love the random sequencer option, creating patches is easy.

Never heard of "Nightmare Machine", is it still available somewhere, RBR?

Anyway, what I'm working on:

in development for 1.0.8:

user settings page
velocity curve

Scene bank of sounds
famous leads bank of sounds

-----------------------------------
in development for Alieno 1.1:

modular environment implementation w/graphic animated swap of modules
user settings page
clipping detector
velocity curve
keyboard zones (layering) and MIDI channel assignment to modules (as 80s, 90s HW keyboards!)

"Cicuta" TWM lateral modules (good for bass and brass!)
(alternative to the Strums)

"Runeboard" 24db filter w/envelope shaping (almost ready, rocks the bottom end!)
"Opal" digital/phase filter (cool, strange thing going on there, might be a further enhance for 1.2..)
(both alternatives to the Lumilux 12db filter)

"Echo" better delay w/frequency feedback control
(alternative to the Repeater)

------------------------------------

cheers to all and happy Christmas!
Andrea

Cool, that's something to look forward to. Sounds like a lot of changes.

Nightmare machine was a pitch shifter that sounded exactly like a horror movie soundtrack. I found it useless, but it sounded cool.
