@KnzoVortex 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah. For me Vital seems a lot more polished and maybe modern/cutting edge in its new features, but Surge is just more inspiring and interesting to me personally with all its quirks, shortcomings, (no phase control, strange wavetable modes, different filter feedback configurations) and unique features, (The many interesting Osc modes: Wavetable, FM, Sine/Phase distortion, etc.) along with its immense power. (Fm between all oscs, including between FM mode ones, Filter/Waveshaper section feedback, many many filter types, 50+ effects in the modular matrix, two scenes totaling 6 oscillators, powerful full screen MSEGs). There's just so much interesting and inspiring territory to explore!

nice overview of an amazing synthesizer. I really regret sleeping on buying Surge and Shortcircuit from Vember back when they were actively marketing those two VSTs. More people doing so would have been great for Claes. And your skin looks great! [one suggestion, if I may? The black lines on the sliders might benefit from being turned 90 degrees in all cases: so vertical sliders have a horizontal black bar, and vice-versa. HTH]

@TheEarlyAstrotype1024 3 жыл бұрын

The concerning major drawback of this synth for me is I think the oscillators has no panning and stereo width for unison voices, meaning mono sounding oscillators which is I don't really like. Another major drawback is it's confusing, unintuitive interface. For example: "where is the save button I can't find it, wait is it the store button? I thought it's a preset store" Some buttons are just double meaning. Not very welcoming for beginners. I think redesigning the interface of this synth, especially how the parts are grouped together and the spacing, can have drastic effect on the workflow especially for the beginners, even the pro ones. It could be a major advantage.

I'm using Reason Suite 11, and the vst will not show in my DAW. I have made sure to add the directories in the plug-in section of DAW preferences. Any ideas? EDIT: The issue was Surge is VST3 and Reason does not yet support VST3. Therefore a VST3 wrapper must be used in this situation. Kush Elements costs only 2 dollars and works wonderfully to solve this issue.
