I’m listening to them now... yeah, so far I’ve not really heard anything that made me think “oh man, this is next level” but on the other hand, that second bass sound (bass portamento) is great and overall the quality seems high. It does seem to have a nice vibe to it. We’re in a great time for plugins, that’s for sure.Smapti wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 1:02 pm To be fair to Unfiltered Audio, they did say availability in August, and it's not August yet.
I agree that the sounds on SoundCloud are underwhelming. My interest in the synth is mostly because the Unfiltered Audio team always makes high-quality plugins. And I don't think it's fair to compare this to Massive X or Avenger -- Lion isn't a wavetable synth and it'll have a very different architecture.
I almost bought BYOME, but frankly I wasn’t feeling it at all. I have a few of their other plugin effects, which I like a lot, but there was something a bit... flat sounding about BYOME. Having it as a dedicated effect processor in a synth with a great filter? Now I’m interested. I do like having MXXX as the effects section of MPowersynth. I know I could do it with two plugins, but I often just like the workflow of having a single unified interface.
Actually, I’m further down in the soundcloud playlist and I’m hearing a lot that I like very much. There is a richness to the sound that you don’t get from many plugins. It does’t sound like it’s very cutting edge in terms of new synthesis, but I don’t care about that nearly as much as I care about having a really great sounding plugin. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for this when it’s released.
