You ought to be joking. Right? Look at how much Waldorf Nave costs on the iPad compared to the VSTi.

But compared to real synths like Zero i prefere Zero.
Thats because you can't compare it to Zero. Apples and oranges. ;)
I can and i did.

Nice device. Nice price. Fun to play with. Beautiful GUI. Thanks! Made me pull the trigger on Natilus as well, since I already was in the IDT shop...

I guess I just don't understand why the same synth varies in price so much depending on whether it is on iOS or Re/VST.

$15 for Thor and $20 for Nave on iPad are amazing prices. I always wondered how they could afford to sell them so cheaply as apps vs plugins. Isn't Thor on the iPad identical in sound and function to the DAW version?

Because you'll never sell iPad apps at a higher price, so you have to price them cheaper. It's why most games are FREE or under 99c. It would be ridiculous to say, well if your game's 99c on the app store it should be 99c on the XBox. Different market with different price expectations

Cyclop APP is $25. I would've paid more. The Patch Browsing - a la D16 - makes it a VERY accessible synth.
Propellerhead would have to venture into the 'other' GUI world (U-He's World) or be pretty creative in the current one to compete.

Thor could be worth more in the iOS realm.... if it were more accessible to get at its Goodness.

Now... about Lithium: .....i hear its a light metal that highly reactive.... Im in.
Can i have mine Dripped in Silver, pls?

Just bought it. Didn't try it first.

First RE I've purchased. Tried loads but always had the "could do this in Thor.... Too expensive" voice nagging at me.

This is priced just right.

I know I may be able to replicate Lithium with Thor but Lithium is only 9 Euros, therefore not too expensive.

My philosophy is simple; Build something you love and would like to use yourself.
Question: Because of my lack of knowledge of the limitations of IDE-based REs, please pardon my ignorance - Is it possible that there could be an updated version of this RE that would have LFO routes that I could choose?

For example - I want LFO 1 to affect OSC 1 and OSC2, but then I want to have LFO 2 to only affect OSC 2, having LFO routing buttons would be awesome! It would also be fun to have the LFO be able to just be routed to the Filter, itself as well. So, to me at least, adding three little on/off buttons controlling the LFO's routing would be a valuable asset to this synth. Zakuna Prod, would this be a possible/feasible update to this device in the near future?

Thanks!

Not at this time but maybe later.

I also want to show you a new demo of the distortion in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQD9OTPtqUQ

It is perfectly possible to implement all of that, but I purposely wanted it to be minimalist in some sense.
I wanted the synth to have a personality, so I focused more on the wavetables.

So I take it that is a "no" to updating the synth to having the LFOs being assignable? :lol:

wack it in a combinator and control your OSC via a LFO from there.. :geek:

The thing I like about these "smaller" synths is they're fairly easy to combine together in a Combi to make some more complicated and interesting combinations. I think they lend themselves well to the modular approach of Reason. I, personally, like use them to kinda fill a role similar to Thor's different oscillator types. Through a few of them in a combinator with some interesting effects and such then route them all through a line mixer and take that through a Thor audio in and out its 3rd filter and bam...new "synth" combi! Good stuff....and why I love Reason.

I picked it up immediately upon release as well. In a Combinator, I can get more control over, and thus far, I am liking it.

Thanks. :thumbs_up:

It's a gem, although I've only used it in one track it inspired me to create a tune beyond what I even thought I am capable of making.
Even if I don't make another tune with it, this to me feels like it's worth it's asking price.
I still think i'll get so much use of of this gem, it sounds fantastic.
