Tssss...fascinating how the loudness-wars keep raging on, hehehe. Impressive somehow, but I think it does seriously make the listening experience suffer, honestly. Boosting those lower mids (or having them so pumped full?), at least to me, muffles everything and it feels like the listening equivalent to seeing a bombed city. You can tell there are buildings and statues, but it's all fallen over itself somehow...you know what I mean? You can't quite recognize the sounds anymore.
Anyway, it's impressive to me for sure, but I wouldn't want to jump into that race, that's for sure, too. I love music too much, still want it to mean something. Oh, it's also a bit like a body builder on steroids with muscles damn near exploding, hahaha, who I would watch for like 5 minutes, but I have no trouble watching Bruce Lee for 1.5 hours. :scared: :)

It still seems a bit buggy (project loading, etc), but much better than the first release. Super high latency on some patches. What are your thoughts?

I played around with it last night for a while. I love the UI, well 90% love. A few patches sound amazing. It did have some issues, probably best to hold off a release or two. The biggest issue I noticed was after scrolling through a few presets, things stopped functioning that were fine before (e.g. envelopes no longer affected things... reloaded the plug to send a specific bug report, noticed things were working again.. might be particularly annoying for an OSC if it happens a lot).

OK - here is my submission for Charlatan V2. My first OSC entry was with Charlatan V1 so this was kind of like my second go with this synth. It seems easier than I remember to make the sounds I want than before so I guess I am improving my sound design skills. :phones:

Made with 26 instances of Charlatan in FLStudio 12

FX Used

Classic Master Limiter
Fruty Parametric EQ 2
2x epicVerb
Fruity Delay 2

on githhub you see there will be 0.41 soon.
https://github.com/mtytel/helm/commits/master/src

It will have osx universal / 32bit build too as far as i know and I can see in the build settings. But I would vote for no, better let's wait for a solid version. or ask the dev for a test build 0.41, since I am not able to compile the source (new developer account required).

EDIT: did a component OSX build: http://www.files.com/set/55bbf4ac628de
