Not to derail this thread any further, as I am really excited about the potential of what has been shown here thus far, but to address your particular need:

Very unstable and no VST version. I couldn't even get it to work on my PC.

it's a pity that has been abandoned

Only raw sounds here. No effects.

BTW, if you haven't noticed yet. The name is SoloRack.

Really impressed by this new modular synth,can't wait to try it!

It is also polyphonic?

Thanks, glad you like. MIDI polyphony is coming soon. Sequencer polyphony is done.

Small tip for the developer, create an eco system, do not expect an eco system to happen.
Your current plan does not create an eco system, you give away the player expecting people to buy modules, there by expecting an eco system.
I suggest give away
The player
Simple Osc
Simple Filter
Simple LFO
Simple ADSR
Include nothing else, not even in demo mode, make them completely invisible.
Why, the consumer mind is very collecting, i need to buy this i need to buy that, once they have started to use your set up, they will want more more more, however, if they are just preset noodlers, the presets will work (including any modules not owned, but those modules will not be visible or tweakable) the preset makers are buying the add ons, and if people want to tweak they will buy the add ons.

This approach is much safer and with the limited free set as above will put you straight on the map, that and a simple serial number will give you initial kudos.

I agree with this 100%. I think it is an excellent idea.

Are you talking about a "Player" version to be unlocked upon purchase of additional modules?

No, the developer has been calling his rack a player, i just used his term, the shell that holds the modules.

Actually I never said the word "player".

Thanks for your suggestion. I agree and disagree with you on certain points. One needs allot of thinking to decide on this matter.

And from your comparison with Eurorack where you said you could sell it, can we assume that people can transfer module licenses ?

I would very much like to make a form of license transfers possible. But I can't give a final word, nor details on that now. I need to program a proper licensing system first. Would have to decide if transfers would be processed manually or automatically. If manually, I might need staff if things get big.

It's a bit early now. There will probably be a demo, time limited beta version(s) before the final release. But again, no promises. You will know when it's out

I know it's not even been a month since this thread was started but what are we looking at as far as a Windows 64 bit VST version for this? Like a year away?

The plugin it self is still 32bit. I tested it on a 64bit Windows OS and it works both on 32bit DAW and 64bit DAW (bridged/wrapper).

Just to mention here, You only REALLY need a 64bit version when the plugin uses more than 2Gb of memory. Which is way way far higher from what SoloRack is using. So basically, if your DAW can run both 32bit and 64bit plugs, SoloRack should work, even before I release a 64bit version.

The problem is, the internal VST bridger built into Cubase is crap and most of my 32 bit plugs crash. I've since gotten rid of almost all of them. Jbridge, which is the biggest waste of money I ever spent, sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

So I won't be investing in a 32 bit system, especially the kind of money this system could run into, under those shaky conditions.

Shame. Because I was really looking forward to this system.
