Four EP has a very similar sound, however, it’s sample-based so it’ll take more HD space, but it’s free: https://www.samplescience.info/2021/01/four-ep.html

“we can’t collect personal information” just after listing computer and user name as data collected… nice contradiction there. *tsk*

Came here now to throw a warning up about this. Some folks may be cool about these kinds of things but others, not so much. Kind of questionable to bury that at the end of the user agreement, while first posting a less intrusive version of those terms at the start. Hard pass on that plug from me

https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7940925#p7940925

“The plugin requires an internet connection to phone home, it won’t work without one. If it can’t connect to the home server, it attempts to check other websites (google, amazon, etc.) to see if you are blocking GSI specifically. If the GSI server is not available for whatever reason, this will not function.”

So this is Potential Unwanted Application and or addware/spyware depending on your view. Either way it I would suggest reading the FAQ’s
https://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=support&q=98#Q98

“Some other titles (currently only VariSpeed) collect some details about the hardware running the software and store it on our server. Data is collected only every once in a long while, not at every session, and at the same time a promo screen is shown reporting offers or news about other GSi products.

The data collected includes exclusively the following items:
1. OS name and platform (x86 or x64)
2. Computer name
3. CPU vendor & model, number of cores, speed
4. Memory size
5. User name
6. Language and region
7. Screen resolution

…..”

… it’s very bad behaviour to not being upfront with shit like this, and to the developer NO not all applications does this…. you can try to justify as best you can but it’s still a shitty behaviour and not necessary.

Yep, it’s time to write a petition to release the source code so baconpaul will have to add a Rhodes osc engine to Surge… :D
A nice alternative available in Win64 is the 4Front Rhode and maybe even the DPiano-E from Dead Duck.

Too bad they did not want to port it to 64bits, so I decided to check other Rhodes, but never really found the exact same sound I loved so much.

Will try this delay for sure, as I remember also having used the wat cat thing :)

yes, they have the wat cat tape delay. but it is 32bit. I’m so glad that they release this new version! I always loved the wat cat plugin (and the swell function). btw, love bpb too :)

Yeah, they did. Back in Windows XP days! It was a cool plugin.
