more Not able to save my customized patches. After spending lost time creating and saving, they disappear? Whenever you close out and reopen software. This is a glitch, needs a fix. After fixing this app will be awesome. Please fix! 2024 needs update to fix bug.

I like the sound of the synth and the controls. Always wanted an Oberheim synth back in the day. It would be really great to be able to save your presets within the app. Please add this feature.

Hello, I love this plugin and I constantly use it on my singles and albums. I’m reaching out in hopes that you guys will create another Oberheim AUV3 plugin? One that is of the older version of the Oberheim? thank you for this app, it has been such a tool in my music.

Fixed a crash that could occur on mono audio output routes.
3.21.2 May 22
Refined MPE expression with mod wheel scaling, invertable axes, and smoother modulation.
Mod Wheel Scaled Depth: Toggle inside each axis's Depth submenu — your mod wheel rides the MPE amount from zero to your set depth.
Invert Y and Z: Flip the direction of a gesture without moving its rest point. Press harder to duck cutoff, raise Y to lower pitch, etc.
Smoother MPE: Cutoff and pan modulation now ramp per sample, killing the audible stepping during fast playing or mod wheel sweeps.
Better Pan Response: X to Pan and Y to Pan scale musically — small slides nudge, full gestures reach hard L/R.
Y to XMod Fix: Pulling Y down no longer kills Cross Modulation in Center rest mode.
Cleaner MPE Suffix: Shorter labels and a Y Rest arrow so routing fits in narrower popups.
Pan Activity LEDs: Now blue, matching the envelope and audio indicators.
