Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

hello,
i am using synthmaker for about a year now, its really great stuff!
and: you cannot only save your creations as standalone, you can also
create vst(i)s.
one great feature: sysex is implemented now, so you can design your
own software controller for every sysex capable synth.
its great to build effects, synths, controllers,...
on my website you can find some vst effects (and their standalone
versions) and synths i created with synthmaker
(http://www.blechturmstudios.at).
and yes, its a shame it doesnt run on mac...
all the best,
michael
