The original author seems to have been missing in action for quite
some time, though it's not the first time. He disappeared for a long
time before the last exciting, though flawed update, which led to a
github fork at the time. When he re-appeared to much fanfare he
communicated great intent to maintain Phasex, and then promptly
disappeared again. Attempts by multiple people to contact the author
through numerous channels have been unsuccessful so far as I know.
It would be a shame for Phasex to go by the wayside, as it really is a
very cool sounding synth, problems aside.
Actually it's the only virtual synth that IMO relatively often can
compare with some CEM (Curtis) based analog synth-sounds. The "Moog's
wandering pitch tracking" sounds sometimes exceed even CEM (Curtis)
synth, however, even some Moog synth used CEM (Curtis). Dave Smith
likely is the Steve Wozniak of vintage analog synth maintaining. It's a
pity that he nowadays has got the monopoly for good synth chips :(. JFTR
I don't know how to repair my digital age TG33 either ;) ... chips die
out.
