Here A very intriguing prospect here, a very responsive dev, one of the tightest realtime sequencing performance in any app available, SDK. Worrying times for me in terms of Synthmaker, having invested a lot of time in what looks like the wrong app, Synthedit is blazing forward. Usine has now stepped into the arena.

You're forgetting Reaktor 5.6, Max/MSP 6... Usine is good, but the yearly license cost is a bit much IMHO. I guess you're paying for the personal support.

Mac version in some months....

I think it's a great step forward to have some serious competition does not hurt. Maybe this will drive Otusim / DSPRobotics to a more serious investment in development. Otherwise lose serious market share for both products. We hope that it will not.

Nah, I hope Outsim do the rewrite, cater for accurate green, VST whatever, and 4 Mac(edit-+64bit). I wish they would fuse both programs under the heading programming environment. If my Dad is successful, I'd love to invest. We need a full time developer very much.

Nah i didn't forget Reaktor or MAX/MSP, neither of those export to VST And i dunno about the yearly thing being bad, at least it gets updated regularly

I think one thing that strikes me about moving to Usine is how custom the UIs will be. Last time I looked it was pretty basic, perhaps even more so than MAX.

Yea, he churns out the code. Ableton Live used to be upgraded every 18months also, but they had some bug catching up to do ...

I think the thing here is this, if enough people bought Usine specifically for VST development, the development side is going to get heavy development as it where, and right now it has a lot of advantages the other packages don't have, not least amazing MIDI timing (SM busted) and Mac support coming (SM and SE busted) I have been planning on getting Usine at some point myself just because it is so tight for live performance, but this could have put me right over the edge.
Of course Outsim could hit us up with OSX support and 64bit and everything then changes, but lets be honest here, that simply isn't going to happen.

Damn, i hope outsime does cook up something for SM3 (if it ever happenes)

Where did you get that from?

http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 31&start=0 I can't remember where I read Usine say it would be matter of months now. But confirmation of Mac development is in that KVR thread, also now some interesting info on developing GUIs. Cheers

Thanks for the link nix! Indeed very interesting news. I'll try Usine as soon as the free version is available again. Should the promises really come true and OSX incl. VST export work as expected this seems to be an SM alternative.

is it possible to write code in there directly like in SM? and does it allow own asm code?
trogluddite ·
Looks to be more like the SynthEdit way - no code directly inside the application itself, but full support for developers to write their own modules in C++ using the SDK. From their website...
It’s not a modular synthesizer. Fortunately, you can use Synthesis Pack by Nay-Seven or any VSTi you want like Native Instruments™ Reaktor® / Kontakt® or AAS™ Tassman®, etc.
If it had both ways, I'd be tempted - having a responsive developer, and 3rd party modules looks really attractive - but I do so like being able to create everything within the one workspace.
nix ·
One of the devs has been building VST modules with SM, they could compliment each other well. The max ticks I can get of it so far is 1000hz, MAX is 22050, bit it's not a VST. Cheers

Actually designing/testing things with Usine 5.7 RC 02, I can say it rocks !
The only problem is you cannot: - remove the Usine splashscrenn displaying when you load a VST in an host - remove the top panel (shown here: Pre-sales questions & hesitations)
A developer version will be released, but no date announced. We would be able to change that.
btw, it rocks & works very fine. It worth a test!
