Price is right but it's too ugly to buy. Even copying the ugliness of Sylenth with the wood sides. Surprising cos u-he products usually look great. Pity. I wonder if the sounds are stored better than Sylenth. I hate having to load banks and fiddling around to find and store patches.

heh, to me it's their best-looking synth yet. Beauty being in the eye of the beholder though. At 160% zoom it fills a 1900x1200 24" screen perfectly. Even if it looked like crap, the sound is the important part.

The presets are stored in the default u-he manner. The top Local bank (kind of a best of), then the 10 usual types nested within: Leads, Pads, Loops etc.

Some fantastic presets here, and some really good ones included from the Bazille patch competitions as well. I couldn't tear myself away from it last night, and thus had very little sleep. Suffering at work now

I downloaded the demo. Good for sound FX. Kind of mad 70s scientist. Good sound. But didn't seem like a lead and bass synth. More for filling in chilled sections or for intros or outros.

Filing seems to be one long list with no easy way to search. But only had a quick look.

Shocking CPU usage. Sylenth goes to a max of 69 on my CPU, but Basille was going to 350 and crackling up on half the sounds.

Turn on multicore, maybe turn off High quality. Reduce voices. My PC runs stuff not really very well anymore, but with an instance of Bazille it uses around 25%. High quality turned on.

It is capable of much more than sound FX. Have you checked out all the patches (this could take quite a while ). It's got some great Leads, and its got wicked bass synths of all sorts, from the cliched bread n butter tired sounds (if you want them) to a bit more unique tones to all-out strangeness.

When did you download the demo? Yesterday or today, or earlier than that? The latest demo includes all the new presets (1700).

No way to search that I know of, no. They should add this functionality. Then again, they're a bit unconventional in their approach to names...so i might not do you any good

[re:dream]

must.... resist... compulsion.... to acquire....

[tedlogan]

Haha, believe me I tried. just get the demo at least to see what it is capable of (the latest updated factory presets demo)...c'mon...just try one sweet...

[re:dream]

OK. I will just get the demo.





There's no commitment.





I can say no at any time...

Been looking for that multicore function that Diva has...couldn't find the switch...where is it ?
Lovely synth btw...as usual from Urs !!!


I know RTFM....

[tedlogan]

It is a lovely synth, very quickly becoming my favourite.
I stumbled across the multicore switch as I'm still fumbling around the interface discovering happy accidents etc. It's on the TWEAKS/FX page, at the top centre somewhere. At work so can't check 100%, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

Thanks, Ted !!!

[tedlogan]

no worries! enjoy

Its by the scopes, the MC switch, it helps alot as long as you have a i* proc. On some patches it was killing my i7 with only a few notes, turn on MC and it went down to 20-30% on those same high cpu patches

It's funny, on my old dual core mac (no i* proc) it works in a reversed way. I just do simplistic small bass-patches to squelch with the filters and they load the CPU with 30%, (HQ on) no problem, works fine and sounds great. If I turn on MC, my CPU-load goes up to 65-75% and the sound gets totally distorted with massive drop outs!

[ezelkow1]

thats why I said as long as you have an i* processor, its stated in the u-he manuals that it can definitely create worse performance on older cpus
