I also had a look at the echo but could not find an obvious error, if it stops working again please let me know!
I found where the problem with the echo bug is. If you set echo intensity exactly at 50% value and save the patch, it won't be read after patch loading. :puf_bigsmile:

Wow, great find! I don't have a clue how that could happen but surely will investigate!

As previously mentioned many times...a beautiful GUI indeed. Since I have to choose between a 3 operator synth...versus...a 9 operator synth(due to budget constraints)...I picked Algoritm.

Hello!

I'm happy to announce the release of AMALGAM 1.1.0 - free for all AMALGAM owners!

5 new filter models:
  • State Variable
  • Sallen-Key HP/LP
  • COMB -/+
  • GRANULATOR (Granular effect with SVF filter)
  • Multimode Ladder Filter

3 New reverb models:


Vintage Spring Reverb
Based on convolution IR sampled from a rare British vintage suitcase synthesizer.

Deep Space
Huge-sounding reverb, great for atmospheric ambience.

Grainy
Light, grainy, kind of lo-fi and delicate, goes from thin and discrete to airy and big.

Additional features and functions
  • New Random/Vibrato function
  • 2 new CV INPUTS: Pitch Offset & VCA Offset

Hmm the update wasn't showing in Companion, and when viewing it in the shop I get a 500 error screen. Will check back later.

Just got a 500 error too – but on a second attempt it worked and now has worked on refresh a few times. Hopefully the server is up and running again =)

* Note: this is nothing to do with Amalgam, it's a glitch with RE updating process *

Probably just a one off glitch for me, but in case another user experiences this, I had some issues downloading the update (beyond the 500 error). I've never had an issue before, though I'm still on Reason 12 ?

The update didn't show up in Companion for me, so I went to the product page on the RS website and clicked on the "Free update" link, and clicked the Download button. This opened Companion but again nothing happened.

I tried deleting the plugin and re-downloading from in Companion, but this still downloaded the previous version.

Finally, I went to the My Account area and found the product in the Rack Extensions tab and clicked Download from there. This opened the old Authoriser app which downloaded the latest version. Then upon restarting Companion I had the new version!


BTW, loving the new patches! Lots of fantastic sounds stuff to work with :)

I wonder if the only refill for this synth will be in the shop during Black Friday sales... when it was on sale earlier I did not have the synth yet.

2.0 had probably been a better version number :redface:
