So have many other people. What makes yours special? The vibecoding? The sloppy marketing site is really off-putting.

I'd honestly be curious what those “83+ vintage & modern synths” are but you don't even provide a list…

Also, what the hell is a “Hex-to-ASCII Parser”…

Yeah, I just cranked one out for the Tempest. It took a lot of manual capture, but I'm not trying to make a business model out of it.

Yep, got to agree. The language is just... eugh. It doesn't feel genuine. I could make that comment for a million other sites, but for some reason this one annoys me extra much.

It's on the site if you hover over the '80 hardware synths' at the top. I'd copypaste it but the layout makes it unnecessarily difficult.

Also, the site lists the price as both $63 and $49 (I'm in Canada).

Anyway, as a fellow synth fan, to the author: don't be discouraged. But consider writing the website in your own voice.
