I think it's kinda new-ish.  I somehow stumbled across it the other day - not 
sure how.

Looks to me quite a lot like Reaktor, only you can go lower level if you want 
to (down to DSP code) and also it has the bonus of being able to export VSTs.  
The user interfaces you can create with it look awesome:

There's a 30 day trial version which I'll check out sometime soon, but at the 
moment I'm a little too busy.  I also don't have any spare cash right now, 
but may do soon - at least to get the personal edition so I can release free 
VSTs.

As far as I know though, this is the first time SynthMaker has been discussed 
on this list, which I find hard to believe!?  So maybe somebody already has 
it and is using it, just hasn't mentioned it yet?

How about this for an idea: We should release Ampfea VSTs!  Probably only need 
one person with a registered copy, as the trial version allows you to save 
your project files (just that the sound output occasionally goes to white 
noise).  So I reckon someone buys it, and then we have a "Design a synth or 
FX in 30 days" type contest (which anyone could do using the trial version), 
and then release the results.

How about that sometime soon?  :-D

Cheers,
