    This is pretty nice. Well done. I would definitely echo some others' sentiments:
    Sorting alphabetically would be nice. I don't mind the color scheme ofor the most part, but would try a light background of some sort.. or maybe an option to toggle light/dark mode or something.

    Ability to search from the main page (i.e. search all categories) would be nice too.

    Where's my CS-80?! :rofl: Seriously though, I bet this was a lot of work to set up this database, so well done.

    Hello Naitguy :)
    It's true that it would be nice to have a global search, but the structure of the site means that each category is totally separate. That's why I made it possible to search by model on each category page.
    Thank you very much for your feedback.

    Wow, what an incredible amount of time and effort you have put in this. I mean, I don't have the time to even watch it all, let alone for you to find all those information and put it together. Thank you!!!! :bow:

    Why u dont make a seatch across all hardware (so u dont need to click separately on synths then romplers and so on)
    Also make a search in every page so u dont need to comeback to main page

    Man...you must understand that UVI is using samples....in the PPG u never check a waldorf plugin...
    So if emulation means samples...add also Kontakt libraries...
    I want to be kind: AI today solving tons of these questions, is ok for who is at the first step in this field! You need to still do a lot of work, your mission with this site is not so easy! Good luck!

    Love your site Pixel! I first discovered in my search for a Kawai SX-240 emu. Tho it had been taken down, you very generously re-upped it for me. I then spent a good part of yesterday exploring your lovely rabbit hole! Great work and a great service to the music community at large.

    Well done!!

    Hi 8bit,
    I'm well aware that UVI relies on sampling, while Waldorf uses actual modeling.
    You're right, it lacks consistency. I will create a separate section for UVI, as I did for Kontakt.
