I dig!!!!
Amazing plugin. It has the best UI for modular sound design right now, and it sounds more than great. I hope AM gets the attention it deserves.
Any plans for a Mac version?
It needs a VST compatible host I read on their site but only Windows it seems?
Looks good, would love to try it but I haven’t used Windows in years, a Mac version would be welcome.
Knowledge Base documentation needs attention: many of the entries are unreadable in even a large window (scaling problem?) and it would be great to have everything in an easily consultable pdf 🙂
