Posted by 8Wonders on Jul-10-2003 06:39:

And the winner is .... Synth 1!


Posted by dbl on Jul-10-2003 16:57:

so where can i find synth 1????


Posted by J.L. on Jul-10-2003 19:23:

i think he means the first synth on there "free alpha"
i also found it to be my favourite... very powerful and versatile in IMHO


Posted by Dj Thy on Jul-10-2003 19:29:

I think he actually means Synth 1. There's a freeware synth called that way, it's modelled after a Clavia Nordlead 2.

Thanks for the links and infos!

Super Wave P8



DOWNLOAD


Posted by Musicmaker on Jul-15-2003 14:39:

You're welcome.

Some people are experiencing problems with the Superwavep8. As far as I know they're only Cubase users. It would be nice if someone has a solution for it and posts info about it here. The synth is regulary updated, so it is wise to check the homepage once in a while to see if the updates include a fix for the problem.

You can also keep a eye on the topic about this synth on trance.nu:

thx for the post soundream... as far as the superwave goes, it works fine in fruity like all other vst's. the only thing that doesn't really work is the preset loading menu at the very top as it doesn't show in the fruity wrapper. howerver, fruity has it's own thing that allows you to browse thru all the built in presets, so it really doesn't matter
