Michael Arthur Holloway said...: this synth is amazing, really puts a lot of other current softsynths to shame. The presets, sadly, really don't sound good to me -- too chintzy and cheesey for my tastes, to much goofy motion. But, it hardly matters because this thing is just so dang powerful and flexible, and certainly the best sample-based synth I've come across.
Tom, have you got very deep into using alchemy? thoughts?; February 1, 2010 at 11:11 AM
Tom said...: Michael - I totally agree. It's an amazing synth that is seriously let down by how lame the presets are. On the other hand, I think that encourages you to make your own, so perhaps it's a good thing. As soon as synths started shipping with decent presets in them, people got lazy.

I have been using it a lot, although I feel like I've barely grazed the surface of what it can do. I actually used it to manipulate some vocals on a remix I did recently. I made a post about it on here a couple months ago.; February 1, 2010 at 1:27 PM
mangadrive said...: Only problem I've had is that when you do make your own presets, you pretty much need to be more forceful about building your bank and saving them so that the synth can read them. My DAW puts it back in init mode if I have to reinstall the synth (or sadly update it) for any reason. In most cases the DAW normally puts all the params back. Thats probably just lazyness on my part, but at least there is a workaround.

Outside of that I've found this beast to be deep. Its something I couldn't even use the album writing process too much because you can spend hours fiddling with this and get nothing done. The presets def don't justify the capability but I'm used to that after a couple recent purchases. (even hardware). I bought Nexus for rompling if I want great presets. If it has OSCs you should be designing sounds IMO.; February 1, 2010 at 2:35 PM
