What the heck does this mean? "Spirit of BlueRack inside.." and this? "Bluerack Synth Spirit Into Box"

Gotta say, Turn2on's GUI's have really come on in leaps and bounds. Looks great!

It means whatever you want it to mean. :)

They could probably work a little on their presentation or ask someone to do some basic grammar checking for them in the Shop.
I'm not trying to be mean about it. I'm just saying it would look more professional.

The synth looks alright and it sounds alright judging by the demos provided, but with so many synths in my rack already any new synth has to be either better than what's currently available or offer something unique.

My guess is that this is a reference to the Novation Supernova (a supernova is of course a "Dying Star"), which is a famous (blue) synth from the trance era.

That makes sense to me. Thanks for that. I'm not much of a hardware guy since discovering Reason in 2001, so these references tend to fall on deaf ears. ;-)

At least they have 3 oscillatros. :lol:

I agree, developers need to do a better job of selling their synths. I'm no longer impressed by number of oscillators, wavetables, filters, etc. we have dozens of these. why should I consider this one in particular?

Demo'd it, and it's pretty good! It feels more like a ROMpler than a synth (even though it has the editing depth of a synth). Perhaps because some of the waveforms are quite long and complex so as to be obviously sampled based at lower/higher pitches. Some of the sounds even remind me a bit of NEXUS, which is cool! I just bought a TV today soooo no racks for me for a while, but I might keep this one on the maybe list. Definitely worth a look though, even if you feel you have a lot of sounds already.

Oh also I like that there's an octave knob on the minimised version. Really good for turning something into a bass without transposing the MIDI.

One small suggestion to the developer would be to change the pitch range from % to semis :)

Most of the patches are way too hot and there are quite a few that clip as well....

Also I thought there would have been more presets, at least the same amount as there are wavetables as what this means to me is there are wavetables included that are not worth making sounds from...

Pads are nice...

Maybe I'll change my mind if they start a Dyingstar Song Challenge ;)

Looks very nice but...no video for the product. Soundlouds no good as it could be anything. I want to see the synth in action without having to trial it.

Thanks!

Besides "Open Image in new TAB", how are we supposed to see REs in the shop.

Frustrating...

WHOA. I´ve been away again. I saw that Dyingstar-synth in the shop.
Is it really based on the Novation Supernova? Could Turn2on answer this?

They need renders ;) ??
3d man.

I think the selling point here is not the uniqueness, but the price. 25 dollars, you cannot do anything wrong. myself i will not buy it either cause i only buy REs that have a professional high level of visual design/GUI – it is just something important to me –, but i think the quality/price ratio is very good here and it is always nice to see new developers.

(not that this synth's design is super bad)

Not sure you're saying someone else's comments are a load a shite, or your own. Either way, please don't stink up the topic by dumping a load of shite and walking away.

Yeah I see what mean.

And sometimes you just want to buy a new toy for some new inspiration. Nothing wrong with that.

Still even with cheaper synths I tend to like them more when there's a niche of some sort, like with Snakebite, Megasaur, Iridium, Chip64. But that's just me.
