Thanks - I like Odin.

I do too! It's one of the new open source kids on the block, and well done too! Vital gets most of the buzz as the best new free synth (and I like that one too), but Odin has a different vibe that I also like. :)

Version 2.3.3-

added CLAP plugin type- added native M1 Mac support- much improved UI appearance when using OS display scaling- made WinInstaller suitable for systems not mounted on C:- fixed symbol name clashes for "Knob" and "Filter"- switched build system to CMake

,  but it was in JUCE right, does JUCE use CMake?

Uh-huh,  Uh-huh,  how many presets? ;)

I have downloaded this and installed a previous version but still haven't tried it. I'll give it a shot this weekend.  I was intrigued by the Venus Theory video on the landing page with a bunch of patches that sounding very good.

I don't have a the count, but there are a good number of factory presets.

Check out the Atmospheres and Pads. I like those! The Leads and Bass presets are good too!

Don't look in the Keys category. Too many cheesy synth e-pianos in there might hurt your delicately tuned ears! ;)

@abacab It was wayyyy too short of a reference, but I was trying to channel Bill Murray's reaction in the 70's SNL Olympia Restaurant skit when people would ask for special orders and he'd shake is head and say, "Uh-hu, uh-huh, cheeseburger?" Basically, because I know a lot of folks here love to tweak synths and I'm just a lowly preset user looking for quick synth satisfaction. But thanks for your recommendations. I had downloaded this before, probably due to one of your earlier posts, but I ended up never getting around to checking it out, as to be really candid, I have more synths and sounds than I'll ever use. And I'm guessing that I'm not alone in that situation.

Welcome!

I remember, I had given some branding/marketing advice to Ben from Camel Audio and  we met up when I was on business in Scotland. At the time, I was handling digital marketing for a large mobile phone maker (okay, they were MUCH larger than and not so large anymore) and our research found that most mobile phone users only were aware of around 5% of their mobile phone's features. It's been around 15 years and Camel Audio was bought by Apple, so I think it's okay to share this. A lot of  my sense of humor is self-deprecating. Why? I know how to take a joke, so why not? So, I had joked with Ben that I'm just a lowly preset user that lacks the patience to program a synth. Ben then told me that his company found that the overwhelming majority of soft synth buyers say they want to be able to program/create their own patches but what happens in reality? 90 or 95% of soft synth users or so are preset users (note: while I have a mind for details, I don't remember the exact stat). So marled, we're not alone.

I have some dozen synths with some 1000s of presets. So it takes hours to choose the "right" preset for my idea (it's a time-consuming pain). Why should I program my synth(s) then? (minor changes to the presets are exlucded to this declaration)
