A very annoying interface. I tried the plugin and some of its effects are interesting. I'm a bit sceptical about the implementation of DSF synthesis in this particular case, but either way the results sound interesting.
The only thing which blew it for me was the interface. Sometimes you move a dial and it gets stuck, no matter how much you move the mouse. Sometimes a right/left movement works, then it stops and its back to up/down again. Sometimes you can change values by a single digit, sometimes its impossible.
Tried it for 15 – 20 minutes then gave up. The interface annoyance weighs more heavily for me than the sound it generates.
