WOOT!!! yes... yes... yes.....
I found my free alternative for an FM-synth and it was right under my nose so to speak. Played a bit more with DoubleSix XXL and again got buggered with the strange voice stealing problem, crackles and pops and what not. It also regularly hits 30% CPU with just two voices playing...
... but then I thought about it's little brother, DoubleSix (without the XXL). It has almost the same UI and just a few less options. Installed it and presto; non of the problems that XXL seems to have. A much better bank with demo-patches as well. Sounds wonderfully FM-ish.
This is how it looks (for comparison with the XXL interface posted above):
Going to add it to the list asap
