pop_life Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) It seems there are 2 "osc1" instead of osc1 and osc2, as well as filter and lfo....plus osc1 in matrix mod is missing a "s".... quick update to 1.0.1 redesigning interface guys....

smde Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I personally felt scammed by this company after what they did to Orb Composer. After that I would not give them even one penny. Beside that free Vital synth works great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be $40 now, but they were asking about $500 at launch, drifting down to about $200. Shortly thereafter they abruptly deleted their Discord channel (only source of support and information). There was never any more promised (on the now vaporized Discord channel) development or updates. They came out later with "Orb Producer". 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Lawler Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 FYI- Got this email today. Seems they realized that they MIGHT have priced this above the market. IDK if this is even worth the 29€, based on the company history. No mention of a trial that I can find. Just a 7 day refund policy. https://www.orbplugins.com/orb-synth-x/ Orb Synth X Upgrade: New Pricing Dear Valued Customers, We have received numerous complaints about the pricing of the Upgrade for the new Orb Synth X, and after reviewing the feedback, we agree that the current pricing is not fair to our loyal and long-time customers.

Uzz Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 The main problem with this "new synth" is that it's basically the same synth with small changes, but with "new" name. New features are (please, do not laugh): 1. AUTOMATION! You may ask why it's even a feature. All synths have possibility to use automation, right? WRONG! ORB Synth didn't have that option because was not reporting any knobs to DAW so you didn't have any possibility to use automation. Even "last tweaked" in FL works that way - it must first recongize knob by it's name and then you can connect automation to it. In case ORB Synth - your DAW just didn't know that any knob was moved! So now - great feature - automation is working! 2. NEW EFFECT! Yeah! You can now use brand new chorus effect! It's FOURTH effect in this synth - after delay, reverb and drive. None of them working so good before, so I don't expect that this chorus will be good. But yes - it's new effect! Not first, not second, not third but FOURTH effect! 3. IMPORT WAVETABLES! You may not know that, but ORB Synth was wavetable (only) synthesizer without possibility to import custom wavetables (or generate any). Something like tomato soup without tomatoes. Now import custom wavetables is a new feature! 4. Improved unison sound quality Yes, that is on changelist. Well, previously unison do not work so good, so now I suppose it starts working proper. Great feature. Bugfixing is now a feature! 5. Oscillator fine tune Should I coment it at all? 6. 100+ presets Not 20, not 25, not 30, not 35... not 95, not even 100, but 100+ presets! 7. And much more! This feature is really great, because there is not enough changes that would justify changing the name and selling the same product a second time. If I add that there is only one glide mode (glide always with retrigger and only in poly mode), last version was released over 2 years ago (and then no fixes, no updates at all), support ignores customers, you cannot be sure that after you save your project, your preset will be restored proper after reload etc. - the only I can say is - STAY AWAY from this synth! Or buy it. But then don't be surprised if they will release "Orb Synth XX" or "Orb Synth Deluxe" after 1-2 years and you will be forced to pay for update (update, not upgrade, because number of changes is too small for calling it "upgrade"). UPDATE: After a month they change their mind and now they now sell "upgrade" for $29! Wait a little more and they sell it for $5 for everyone, because with their sales policy and not respecting customers, they will not sell more than few copies to people who never saw good synth and buying stuff based on promo description. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artturner Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I have the Orb Synth but got it for $1 two years ago. I can't tell if I'm eligible for the upgrade to X for $29 with my $1 synth. Maybe I already have all the wavetable synths I need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
