I dunno man, the basic sound of Absynth is pretty different than any synth I have, and I have a ton of synths...... I can mimic the sound of most synths with another of similar type, but Absynth has sounds that simply can't be mimicked by other synths. Even the FX section has a certain sound. Worst part of Absynth is it's lack of automatable parameters, but it still ends up in half my songs.hoffman2k wrote:I agree that reaktor rocks.

If we could save groups + settings in Live, You could create even sweeter sounds.
I agree about Automat, for bread and butter sounds, you really can't beat the almost zero CPU hit! of Automat. I'm actually looking forward to the day when stiwi releases a commercial product so I can pay him a bit for his services.
the other thing is you're talking about using FX with Operator to get it to compete with Absynth or FM7, so then, how would Operator compete with either when they are given this advantage?
