There seems to be a problem with your website (or else it's just me). I logged onto the member section and clicked on the download link and it just keeps cycling back to the home page. I don't see any download activity. Please fix your website so I can download the synth. Thanks.

Check your mail if you subscribed for the free synth.

Bug #1 - when you change presets the number of voices always changes back to 1.

Bug #2 - when you click on the synth device box to open it up to full view, and the edges of the synth extend beyond the Pulsar project window, the edges of the synth seem to disappear momentarily when changing presets.

Oh - and the issue with the download was resolved. Apparently, there is a bit of a delay from the time you purchase and receive email notification before you can actually download the product.

About the Preset/Number of voice problem here is some light.

The Preset numbers is not a bug. I've made the Analogy in the way you can
save the number of voices included in the PRESETs. It is because some
presets are taking more memories than others(I'm loading some DSP or not
depending the selected zone), and some people (the Luna owner for exemple)
could have DSP overload errors otherwise. You can select the presets you
want , change the number of voices and re-save the device using the save
preset options (see your Creamware user manual).

So you can totally control the way each preset will eat your DSP.

For exemple : if you want to use a bass, you'll always use it in mono. Now
suppose that you decide to use a Keyboard without any effect on 4 voices.
And then you change to a full DSP hungry preset. You'll have a DSP overload
error, because the 4 voices will not be supported with all the Effects on, your DSP system will me miss and you'll have certainly no other
solution than rebooting you computer!

Another exemple. Imagine you have filled almost all your DSP power, you have
only the space to load a mono version of the Analogy. If I had not
pre-configured all the presets to 1 voice, you would not be able to load the
analogy at all in that case...

i downloaded the analogift a few hours ago, and after the second sound, i got so carried away, that i immediatly made a track with it. i'm going to upload it in a minute.

great stuff!!! worth every little bit of extra time spend on the registering.

this makes me happy

Nicolas: I understand about the preset logic. The Analogy was the first synth in my growing collection that reverts back to 1 voice when changing presets. I thought it was a bug.

Still, the disappearing graphics are strange. I provided my Wintel setup to you via email. If I'm the only one that notices the problem, then there must be something amiss on my end. But none of my other synths exhibit that behavior which makes it a bit strange. But it's not a show stopper. The synth sounds great. Will be playing with this new toy for a while

Analogy seems to be stuck in omni mode - when i trigger another synth on a different midi channel - it still triggers Analogy - no matter what midi channel i have Analogy on??

Looks interesting.

I think the price will actually be $149USD which isn't necessarily that bad if it really is a unique synth.

I checked out the Synth bundle you can pre-buy for $699USD as well. Looks pretty good - seems like these DS waveforms are going to become characteristing of DSPDEV's synth creation. I think that can be a good thing too - all the synths purpose built but with the unique DSPDEV characteristics.

Analogy v2 is released.
Also a small version (for small budgets $45) is released.

I've just removed the effects section! I think it is a good deal.

And it even works on the Luna!

The lite version is a steal I think, looks like I'm off to go couch diving for change, I need to add this one to the collection.
