Hello everyone,
as a beta tester of the synthesizer, Björn once again overtook me when it was released :P
That's why I'm only now coming to my evaluation of the synthesizer.
The user interface has been lovingly recreated, sensibly expanded with the EDIT section programmed by Björn.
Otherwise I like the expansion from 6 to 64 votes, very good.
Programming the sounds is quick and easy. If you want to create some yourself, you can quickly find your way around the edit section. The sounds are very sonorous, assertive and sound great! I can create all sounds with it, from bass sounds to drums, FX to pads. The only thing I miss on the synthesizer is a delay to make the sound wider. But: everyone should have something of that in their DAW.
If you are sadistic ^-^ you can also use the original 80s interface :).
Tip: if a request comes up after a change, in which a change is pointed out: simply press the Park/Write button in order not to lose the changes.
For many lovers of old simulations, it is certainly crucial how close the sound comes to the hardware. I cannot and do not want to judge that: I take the BucketOne as it is.
As with all Björn synthesizers, I always look forward to the CPU load :) Result: low CPU load, no spikes, no surprises, perfect.
My conclusion: I really appreciate the detailed work of Björn / Fullbucket and I'm happy to welcome another "full bucket" in my DAW. 5 Stars.
P.S: If you want to hear more about the tonal possibilities of the synthesizer go to

I make the presets for this track available to Björn exclusively under "23 for BucketOne", which can be found soon at
https://www.fullbucket.de/music/bucketone.html.
For those who don't know yet:
"Bucket ONE" and "Bucket Pops" are subject of KVR's (second) TWO Synth Challenge #173(OSC) -> https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=598764
Go in and listen or even add to the submissions of this grreat, friendly and amazing event.
Have a nice day
K.
kraftraum's preset pack "23 for Bucket ONE" is now available from the Bucket ONE's webpage https://www.fullbucket.de/music/bucketone.html
To me this software sounds very close to my memories of my old Bit 99. I can't do an A/B comparison, because my old Bit 99 long has joined synth heaven. I only have my memories and some old recordings.
