Reply to topic Post new topic  
From what you've read in the description, do you think "Xeon" will be any good?
Ohhhh yeah!

Maybe. Hopefully.

It's gonna suck like half the already-existing VSTs.

Hey peeps,
Making a new VST synth line. Details here...
http://daprometheus3.googlepages.com/%22xeon%22series
I've called them "Xeon" for the moment being, but I need a decent name, not one I got from an Intel server CPU chip.
Alex
P.S. Feel free to suggest ideas for the synth!

Trying you VST's now,

the Trica one has WAY too small interface, the buttons and all should be at least 2x as big, and the writing should be in a different collour, try to keep a dark background with light letters! It doesn't have much options to tweak around with imo,

Vagebond is a lot nicer if you ask me! I'm able to pick the OSC shape, very nice Very Happy though I'd like to be able to pick 2 or 4 or 8 ^^ Very nice that you built in the option to use a "7th" (actually it is called a fifth Wink)

The Vibrato mod is absolutely great ^^ (as you will notice in my small preview thingy) It doesnt react to envelopes though (In sonar that is) which is really too bad Sad

http://pariarecords.googlepages.com/Vagebond.mp3 (btw there is a **** up in the begin, thats Vagebonds fault Razz)

So Ehm, for your next synth,

- Being able to have multiple OSC shapes
- Being able to hook up your cutoff to the LFO, so it will filter every now and then
- Better functioning buttons (make em larger!!)
- Little more work on the design Smile
- Being able to use additional effects in the plugin itself, like flangers, chorus, etc etc (yeaah you got overdrive and reverb, but I got other plugins for that Wink)


Overall better sound quality, I had to tweak quite a bit ^^

Well, I like Vagebond Very Happy the Trica one is meh

for a name.. name.. well, how about Prometheus, would do very nice I think Smile

Thanks Very Happy I used the small knobs, etc because I wanted a small GUI but I plan to change that now. Yes, and they are final releases, but when I finish these new ones I might fix them...
Oh, and I called it a 7th accidentally, I found out it was a 5th not long ago...
As for the name... I'll see Smile
Alex
P.S. Listened to the song, it was good, I've never actually used the vibrato myself...
