This is a really great product. Its unfortunately that the developer had pressing issues and couldn't continue to work on it. Hopefully he will be back one day. What I like about this synth is that I can literally take any synth patch, and graph the 3D waveform elements and edit them in real time, while recording film ambient textures - this makes for a kind of interaction that isn't available in any other product that I know of. You can also generate a kind of IR file from any waveform, to apply within Cycle to any other waveform - Combine these 2 features and I don't think there will be anything else on this level for quite some time. But again, be forewarned that any issues or bugs will not likely be addressed - and I would send an email to Gavin prior to buying in case you expect refunds should your O/S not like the product. The standalone version is a great feature also.

This looks fascinating so I immediately grabbed the Win64 demo. Unfortunately, it crashes Cubase 7.5 64-bit on my machine immediately as soon as I load it on an instrument track. After some fiddling, I was able to get the standalone working. To be fair, I use a Roland Quad Capture and it has been notorious from day one for requiring a restart constantly. Although I only spent a short time listening to some presets, I must say that I love the look of the GUI, and there are some interesting sounds on tap, with tremendous potential for creativity. I hope this instrument evolves, as it looks to be off to a good start.

i bought it recently and totally agree in saying it has a tremendeous potential for creativity, though i'm still a bit lost because the concept is truly innovative and needs some serious efforts for correct handling in a sound design purpose...luckily, no problens of stability on my macs (macmini and imac) so far...
