What da fekk is so great about this??? ComeOn! You can have FREE VST synths, that are far easier than this. And, you can make cooler sounds with them as well. Ok, I get it, an actual synth that you put in your stack with your hands is cool. But this?? 🤔🤔

I'm not following hard enough to know if you had any plans to cover VCV Rack 2, but hearing your comments on clouds made me check. The current version has the freeze and mode all figured out. Thanks for getting me going with the software again!

Benn, HOW did you capture your voice like that? I didn't see a record button or anything.

What is a Synthesizer labeled that can accept an analog audio source into it for manipulation?
I am trying to find VSTs that can modulate audio from a DAW Buss, so that I can manipulate the audio going through it…. But I do not know what to call them, so I don't have a search term. :-/

I guess you can sort of make an LFO by patching an alternating sequence (here functioning as a low-frequency square) into an ADSR, stretching out the attack and decay and release while taking the sustain down to zero to make the slow square coming out of the sequencer kind of sine-ish?

This is a great place to start, designing systems and experimenting, before spending thousands of dollars on hardware.

Since CPU limitations are a thing, why do I see no options to "render" a sound (slowly) or even a whole track, like 3d programs do with images? Couldn't there be a non-realtime, much higher quality option?

where's the 'free shit' page? …as opposed to 'purchase'; – or maybe the five dollar page or such fun??? …I think that every fooker else is skint az boogery…
