wonderful synth, beautiful simplicity, great layout. Fun to play with. Terrible filter though imo. little pricy, but glad I bought it.

You can always use another filter instead, but lose the embedded envelope/lfo control within it. autofilters can work ok though.

Personally I don't think the operator is that great. There's a couple of good sounds that are good for trance music. Nothing really that justifies the cost of it imo. If ableton started coming out with synth racks reason style, that would be sweet.

you're right. Operator cannot quite do many sounds that many other synths can do.

However, the flip side is that there are many sounds operator can do which other synths cannot.

Don't bother trying to emulate other synth sounds with operator. Sometimes you can, but sometimes you can't. Just use the other synths when you want it to sound like the other synths.

well the flip side is dat it can do me justis with these wierd sounds

Could you explain? I've never used Reaktor but I've heard great things about it, what's the deal-io? The covert op's Operator work is SICK, I can't wait to hear what you crazy mofos do with racks.
