This looks super rad and I *want* to buy it, but absolutely not at this price, not from an unproven singular dev that I know nothing about, and not with a demo that only works for 15 minutes. I hope it succeeds, but I think the dev needs to seriously reevaluate his position in the market and adjust his business strategy to that. As an engineer myself, I want him to get paid for his work.

Having a distortion and a filter on every operator is really cool for sound design. Putting those on an FM modulation signal can get you really cool effects. Korg kind of went in that direction went in that direction with the opsix, or you can build out into something modular like Phase Plant or Bitwig's Grid. The problem is that you have to help the user control all that complexity. If I have to program the envelopes for every operator separately, with no easy way to adjust the decay length on all of them at the same time, for example, then it's barely any different from programming a DX7.
Pretty awesome! Will buy it when it's $99 or less, though. Vital is also created by single developer (Matt Tytel) and its base version is free, so that's a non-argument.
Per oscillator distortion and FX, you can add multiple instances of the master FX, and ut looks like you can set the crossovers on the multiband compressor? Damn, this is pretty slick. Does it have more LFOs that pop up once you use yhe first 3, like Serum, or is it just the 3?
Hadn't heard of this one yet! Nice vid and a very capable demonstration. I'm curious if you've heard of or looked into Surge XT yet. The reason I ask is because it also has FM and wavetable (and almost everything else you can imagine.) Free, open source, very well documented, active and responsive dev community, massive embedded bank of open source effects like airwindows and the like. Has the same UI approach you were getting at with everything being laid out and visible at all times. A key difference being there is no animation of LFO's and connections and such, which keeps the CPU wayyy down. Vital and pigments definitely suffer from the same problem as well. I would really love to see what you come up with because the one thing it definitely needs is good preset designers to properly show off what it can do.
I would've liked to hear the sound of the filter(s) on this. Just a simple saw wave with high resonance and a plucky envelope. Surprisingly few digital filters can do resonance well, even in 2024.
So I tried out the demo. It only gives you 15 mins which is insane. I barely was able to explore the whole thing. I couldn't even tell if it would work out for me. 15 mins are they fuken serious? I'm not going to buy something I'm not sure of at $200. Imagine if when buying a car you were only allowed to drive it in the parking lot how could you know if it's the right car for you without really getting to test drive it? That's what they basically did here. Honestly I wasn't all that impressed with the sound quality from what I heard but how would I know? I only got to test drive it in the dealerships parking lot.
@@cellardoreproductions - Arturia is a well-known company with a 20+ year track record of supporting their products. They have built trust to offer short demos. They also are not dependent on ONE person. Let's say we all plop down $200 for this, a bunch of bugs appear and the dev "gets busy with his day job". No thanks.
@@Comonad exactly. The more that @cellardoreproductions refuses to even acknowledge that these might be legitimate concerns, the more I'm suspicious of them too.
This synth looks cool and the FM matrix probably lets you cook up some amazing stuff But honestly, 200 bucks for this is way too much when you can just grab Vital for free, or just use serum which lets be honest, the absolute majority of bass music artists has already bought by now.
First of all, this is an !!8!! oscillator FM synth. Each oscillator also lets you import wavetables. Just that alone is something vital or serum don’t have Then you look at the filter and driver per oscillator - which allows for craziness. Also you can use multiple of any effect. There’s more which I point out in the video and also don’t go deep into which make this different from vital and serum. Could the price be lower? Maybe. But when you compare it to other synths of a similar scale then it’s the same price (ignoring vital). Also this is a one man dev who’s wild for pulling this off alone. Personally I would factor this into the equation when making a purchase too. For example, Polyverse’s filterverse is about to drop its 1.0 for $99. That’s ‘just’ an effect. A very complex one, but it’s still a stand alone effect vs a fully featured synth. I don’t see why $200 would be unreasonable.
@@cellardoreproductions Vital has set the bar for plug-ins, enormous power for free unless you want presets. I recently paid $7 for FM8 that's what I call value for money.
@@cellardoreproductions - 8 osc is overkill for most people to be honest, and both Vital and Serum have wavetable importing, so idk what your argument is there. - Filter per osc is something Vital can do. Hell, even OG Massive had modulators per osc and that was pulled off 18 years ago (released 2006) - using multiples of any effect sounds nice. i guess? - Price absolutely can be lowered. Halve the price and it's worth it. No I will not argue that further. - Matt Tytel is also one dev. And he released Vital for free. He may be an exception, but you're not going to beat a free and powerful all-in-one synth, no matter how good you are. Oh, and other VSTs exist, AND there's FL's Patcher, Ableton's Operator, Bitwig's "The Grid", and so on (all stock c;) that, as long as you learn how to use them, can deliver sounds on the same scale. Now I understand that's a lot to take in, but really this plugin was pretty late to the party to begin with, and the price point is something a lot of people can't justify, especially with a 15m "trial period" (lol, lmao). Oh yeah, and uh... Phaseplant. That synth just exists in its own league entirely.
@@cellardoreproductions compelling arguments I wont lie, i havent looked at this synth in its entirety when I commented. just thought it was like serum but with less FX. Now one thing one need to probably figure out is if you even need these many Osc in the first place. I can imagine tho that the sounds you can cook up would be mad beefy.
@@cellardoreproductions For the price its nothing special. You can just layer & cross mod the audio on other synths with less oscs if your really what to. IMHO this synth is too expensive when you look at the landscape of free and great cheap stuff available these days. Goes double if you're into modular environments.
Take my money... not. I already have VPS Avenger 2, Vital, and Serum, as well as Phase Plant, Pigments, and many others that I can't remember off the top of my head right now. I do not see any value in this over that, other than I am a synth whore and um, I have a problem. Now, if Zebra 3 full on drops... take my money! One guy creating this - great job! That's a lot of work.
Those aren’t fm synths first of all. Also ‘insert any software that costs money’ into your question. Are you saying we just give up exploring new ideas and new ways to make sound and music? I own so many synths and each one has a purpose, features and workflow that get my creative juices flowing.
@@cellardoreproductions Its this simple, to me its just not good value for money. If you can justify it to yourself, then fill your boots. But really for $200 thats a big mountain to climb IMHO. Especially since there are so many fantastic free VSTs these days.
While its interesting take on fm, I do think its not functionally at the level to warrant $200. This is because Phaseplant includes way more features at the same price. This includes more free effects, granular samplers, samplers, wavetables, FM, AM. The non-free effects can still be used in Phaseplant given they are in a preset in the native effect chain plugin Snap Heap(loaded in Phaseplant). Additionally, Phaseplant allows you to do FM from output rather than straight from an OSC and that means the fm modulator could have distortion and filters. Additionally, Ghost can't do RM/AM(unless I'm missing something) which is already featured in Sytrus(FL native fm synth). These drawbacks make Ghost feel limited and niece for the current price tag. I'm not trying to be rude in saying this and I hope the dev furthers its functionality to be distinct and diverse in usage(I mean this already was a lot of work for a solo dev). I just don't want others to feel they missed out on getting more value for their money.
I’m sorry but at this point the last thing I need is some new flashy synth. I have phase plant, Pigments, Serum, and that other free one that’s also modular (can’t remember the name rn).
You can't even tell the difference between software and hardware nowadays and guess what? Your average listeners don't even know what the hell we're talking about.
I agree that the price of this plugin is too high. But this is comparing apples to oranges. You can also buy around 150 bottles of arizona iced tea for thr price, but thats not an FM synthesizer
Sounds like another ANOTHER OF THE SAME! Gawd synthesis has been boring since the 80s there’s been no absolutely no new ideas it’s the same shit over and over over and over.
