Wouldn't it be nice if it had all the MiniMoog and Alpha Juno waveforms? Even as wavetables. ;)
Maybe a future update will include another set of waveforms :wink:

sure - here we go:

plugin version v1.1.0, AudioUnit
logic 10.5.1, mac os mojave

the same - not showing scale percentage in settings menu goes
for all the others (apricot, regency, fluctus)

here's the screenshot

all are the latest versions, just downloaded

btw, another thing (or maybe related):
i updated all because fluctus suddenly gave me issues
insofar, as that it instantly crashed logic as i just played a few notes (say 5 or 10....)

this was with the older, iirc 1.0.16 AU version of fluctus
crashlog saved in case of interest

but,
i definitely remember that it worked withou issues
and i haven't changed anything in my setup except, that i have a new monitor
that's some AOC, 240Hz, 0.5ms gaming thingie from my son
(the old one was an old samsung 1920...hd...something)

and - extremely far fetched:
i do have display and performance issues definitely related to this monitor
with unfiltered audio plugins - byome, triad and lion that is
all of them with smal mini realtime analyzer displays
all of them get a slowed down, stuttery knob behaviour
in byome i can switch off the display: as soon as i do so the behaviour becomes fluent and smooth again

so maybe the crashing of the older version of fluctus
and maybe the rendering of the settings menu is somehow related to grafic card/monitor/.... ?

btw the new version of fluctus works without problems :-)

Sorry, I forgot about this. On macOS specifically, in the new versions of the plugins the UI scaling is performed automatically. When you move the plugin window to a new monitor, it will ask macOS for the correct scale to use. You can no longer manually change the scale; I decided this would add to much complexity to have both the macOS-provided scale and the user-provided scale.

The older Audio-Unit versions of my plugins (like Fluctus) had several bugs, that hopefully are resolved in the newer versions! I am glad it is working for you now.

I tried to install in Linux through the script but it says "database corrupted".

Can you try downloading it again?

(The install script can get into a bad state if it has to stop part-way through for some reason.)
