This just may be the best free synth out there. I can't believe I didn't try this sooner. The sound is so rich and fat, it's just beautiful. I'm a vst minimalist, but this one is definitely staying in my vst folder. I can't believe it's free! :)

Superwave comes with a list of midi CC's so you can set your controller for controlling the parameters, which is a very nice feature for a free softsynth.

The presets are excellent and really showcase Superwave's ability to do rich analog sounds. The brassy sounds are some of the nicest I have heard in a virtual synth. This synth is a great choice for trance sounds, but I'm using it for ambient pads and sweeps and I'm very pleased.

Try this synth if you have not already!

That is not true, it's also 64-bit. Let's check their webpage.

I find this synth sounds fabulous but is almost unusable because it has no GUI Preset system. In Cubase, that means the DAW preset system doesn't show which user patch is loaded. This is frustrating. Does anyone know a workaround?

I can confirm, that the ultra fat sound of P8 is exceptional analog thanks to extra superwave, which is some kind of polyphonic unison. But what it makes a workstation workhorse is its unbelievable low CPU load of 10% even if played with two flat hands;-). The preset problem was fixed in the successor called just Professional. You can create custom preset names. The P8 has an issue when adjusting cutoff: it crashed. This was fixed in pro. It is only < 10$. There is no mac version. What i miss is a pdf manual.
