Exakt Lite

For some reason when I tried to download Microsoft marked it as a harmful file... of course I overrode that and downloaded the plugin. Windows 10 freaks out whenever you download a .exe fil so perhaps it would be better to put the download in a zip file.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi! A little bug found. Pitch band range setting doesn't store with the plugin instance inside a DAW. When reopening the project it appears to be in default position no matter what was the range set in previous session.

Hi and thanks for your message.

The pitch bend range is currently not stored in the presets and is applied globally. I will store the setting in a future version.

@sonicbits thank you so much.

Great FM synth, what's missing in this synthesizer:

1) need more algorithms
2) more operators (6 op will be great)
3) the ability to import your waveforms
4) add other LFOs waveforms (random, s&h, step seq).

5) modulation matrix.

6) switch button: ultra (for render) and low CPU operating modes
7) MIDI learn as in U-he synths will be great

I hope this functionality will be present in the full version of the synthesizer and I would buy it with great pleasure.

Uhh how about no. It's not a damn wavetable hybrid. It's supposed to give you classic 4-op FM. Please respect the author's design. He already added his own modulation enhancements.

Please study FM synthesis and understand that even 2-op has not been fully explored yet.

Reaper user here. Despite my repeated and varied attempts, my DAW can't/won't "see" this synth. Are there any other Reaper users who are experiencing the same problem and could offer a solution?

Hi Cardenio
Please write an email to info@sonicbits.com so we can sort out the issue.

Message sent. I eagerly await your reply.

Does this synth also work on Win7, respectively, has anyone tested it so far on Win7 64-bit???

However, great looking synth! :-).

Didn't work here ...

Anybody got an idea how to get this lovely VST running in Windows 7 (64-bit) ?

To me this is the first plugin _ever_, not running in Win 7 ...

A hint would be great.

Hey, I have a question to the developer. Would you be so kind as to extend the range of the HP filter down to the 30 Hz? It's very useful for subtly boosting bass patches and it's such a shame it doesn't go low enough.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I will look into it. It's probably not possible without changing the whole cutoff range for this plugin parameter. This will affect LP and BP as well and all presets made with previous versions.

Thanks. It's just a minor issue, but the filter range would then make a lot more sense especially when dealing with bass patches, 50 Hz is just inadequate in some cases. BTW, do you intend to create a fully featured 6-operator paid, "non-lite" version? The more FM synths, the merrier. Something like an overpowered Dexed with a small, 4-slot mod matrix and the ability to patch things like a noise generator and keytracking to the pitch of individual operators or FM drive would be swell. Anyway, thanks for the freebie, great work.

Thouch screen response would be nice to have. On screen keyboard would become much more usefull allowing to play chords not only single notes with a mouse click.

The upcoming next version should support touch input (Windows only).

Hello there, for some unknown reason, the v1.3 version vst3/vst2 is not loading in reaper and other daw as well but the 1.0 is loading just fine. hopefully you fixed asap. thx.

Hello.

last version does't work on Mac OS Big Sur (the GUI does not respond to actions of mouse) Please fix it.

Thanks for the message. A new version supporting Big Sur is coming soon.

I'm unable to install the plugin on my Mac 10.11. Every time I download the installer then open it, I get the notice as follows: "ExaktLite1.4.pkg can't be opened because its digital signature is invalid. The package may have been corrupted or tampered with. Get a new copy of the package and try again." Any suggestions or help will be welcomed. Thanks.

Please write an email to info@sonicbits.com so we can sort out the issue.

I like this synth and i've been using it since 1.02 or so... but I've always found its sound a bit dull & tamed.

Comparing this with Genny (https://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1062) I find the extra edge of FM patches. Even Dexed has better edge.

Maybe a lower samplerate or higher gain would help to achieve that sharpness.

I love this synth because I used to have DX11, and I guess this is the only synth which has 4 operators. (where DEXED, FM8 OPSIX are all 6 ops synth).

Only the issue of this synth for me is that it doesn't have enough presets. It has only 32 presets!, even other latest synth has tons of presets.

In the next version, Please include more presets (At least 128 factory presets, Hopefully 512), and Please add function for importing presets via SysEx.

Then this synth will be more attractive and popular for everyone.

Thanks.
