Full Bucket Music

This is a beautiful sounding synth with lots of nice factory presets and impressive UI. Another winner from FBM.

What a fantastic synth this is. I used to have a DW8000 - a much under-rated synth - and this sounds exactly like it. The user interface is completely in keeping with the original, and using it has the same feel. In particular, the DW's five-stage envelopes are faithfully replicated - these are important for its sounds. I've managed to recreate some of my favourites from long ago. It's hard to believe it's offered free: you really should make a donation.

Two things I'd suggest: There used to be a Turbo DW expansion for the DW8000 by Musitronics/Angel City Audio that added some useful functions, such as sample-and-hold on the LFO. It would be great to see those features included in a revision. Also, I've not been able to get the import tape dump function to work - it would be nice to have more information on the options and process in the manual.

But this is a hard synth to fault - I love it.

A lovely vintage string machine emulation loaded with a generous number of presets. It's pretty intuitive to use and you can make lots of fun combinations out of the percussive and sustain sounds.

As usual a great work form Full Bucket. And as always it's free. We owe you. Thank you very much, guys.

I've always really enjoyed Full Bucket's plugins- they booth look and sound great. Although I've never owned or used many of the vintage synths they emulate, I've compared a lot of the sounds to recordings of the originals and for my purposes they've always been fantastic. Some of the best free vintage synth plugins out there and it's a nice alternative to shelling out tens of thousands of dollars if you're on a budget like me.

Hallo,

ich durfte (mal wieder :) einen Beta-Test für Björn aka Full-Bucket mit diesem Synthesizer machen.
In den letzten 3 Monaten habe ich mitbekommen was für eine verdammt anstrengende und gute Arbeit in dem Synthesizer liegen. Gerade die Details die Björn in die Synth steckt ist jedes Mal grossartig.

Die Überraschung war am Anfang groß: kein Korg dieses mal, aber hey: wer darf schon eine Sequential Simulation testen?

Meine 5 Sterne für
- das grossartige Benutzerinterface inkl. der einfachen Bearbeitung des Sequencers (in modernen Zeiten)
- die moderne Config-Einstellung
- den tollen, durchsetzungsfähigen Sound
- die, wieder mal, geringe CPU-Last :)
- die durchgänge Bedienung im "Old-School" Verfahren (wer es den gerne so mag)
- kostenlos.

Was mir fehlt? Wie immer ein Delay-Effekt ... :).

Fazit:
Ein toller Sythesizer mit viel hineingesteckter Arbeit die ich so sehr an Björn schätze.
Für mich eine tolle Bereicherung meiner Musikinstrumente.

Vielen Dank Björn.

Grüße aus dem Kraftraum

Hello everyone in the world,

I was honored (again :) to do a beta test for Björn aka Full-Bucket with this synthesizer.
In the last 3 months I have noticed what a lot of hard work and good work goes into the synthesizer.
The details that Björn puts into the synth are always great.

The surprise was big at the beginning: no Korg this time, but hey: who gets to test a sequential simulation?

My 5 stars for
- the great user interface including easy editing of the sequencer (in modern times)
- the modern config setting
- the great, assertive sound
- the, once again, low CPU load :)
- the continuous operation in the "old-school" method (if you like it that way)
- for free.

What am I missing? As always a delay effect... :).

Conclusion:
A great synthesizer with a lot of work put into it that I appreciate so much about Björn.
For me it's a great addition to my musical instruments.

Thank you Björn.

This new string synth is here, and I like the GUI of this. Who cares what the people think about the awesome VST of Oxid? Well:

1. The keyboard superimposed into this GUI of Oxid looks kinda epic.
2. The sounds are amazing.
3. The paraphonic mode is kind of nice.
4. It creates synthesizing string sounds and many more.
5. And I give it a 5/5.

That's it for my review of Oxid. Peace out.

Somehow Bjorn Arlt von Fullbucket always manages to programme some real electronic life into his native C++ coding computer emulations and creations. Made with love thought and care.
