Nucleum is a subtractive/FM synthesis hybrid. It's my first full SM creation and it's currently in beta. I plan to release it as freeware/donationware.
I've posted on kvraudio asking for help with presets, but I figured I would post here as well in case anyone here is interested in trying it out.
To get to the download I ask users to register on my forum, but if you don't want to go through that, here's a direct link to the latest beta version:

You may need to copy the link to the address bar to make IE open the file save dialog.
I have a topic on my forum where I've blogged the Nucleum development progress:
Looks very nice & easy to figure out! I'd like to mess around with it more & make some patches for it.
One small issue, which unfortunately I say to 90% of SM synths: way high CPU. 23% on my laptop in Ableton Live5. In comparison, a somewhat similar patch in Atlantis (3 osc, 2 filters, no other effects) is 6% with some peaks to 10% (I think he does hop optimizing). The WIKI has some decent tips & modules. (I could hack at it once SM gets the copy/paste crashing fixed, which looks like it may be another day to month.) I don't want to seem over-critical, but I really think it looks on par & better with other shareware synths like Cobalt, but the CPU issue will make some shun it.

Thanks for the reply.
After searching for Atlantis I assume you mean this plugin:

Is Atlantis made with SM?
I have done some work on optimizing Nucleum. Many places I use the select primitive to disable processing depending on what is routed in the matrix etc. The de-zipper, ADSR and chorus are the only parts where I've optimized the code, so there are plenty of places still where I can optimize the code.

Cool synth,
here�s my first experiment with it.
GlidePad
Btw. maybe you are interessted in this also (i did it this week in my schematic). This switches the readout of your octave or semitone knobs (and others if wanted) when the value is positive (e.g. Octave +2/Semitome +5...) and shows a plus infront of the value. Inside the Smart Label Module of your knobs you can find the Format module. Simply add the selector, the 2nd format string and the Float Greater with the float value when the string should switch.
More presets will follow
Cheers
Neptune
