operator naysayers, I'm throwing down the gauntlet

I challenge any creative music makers doubtful of Operator out there to lock your selves in a room for a whole weekend with nothing but live with operator and if you tell me monday morning you cant come up with something that makes you smile then your either a fool or a liar!

I'm starting to find the other synths aren't getting loaded up because I'm having an absolute ball with operator.

I personally think Operator is lot of fun to use, my issues aren't with what it's capable of. The problem is how much it costs, I just feel that $149 is a lot of money when you compare it to other softsynths.

Obviously the cost versus benefits point of view is a personal thing, which is why so many people have differing opinions on Operator IMO. If it had been $79 or maybe even $89, I would have bought it with no hesitation.

If you compare it to a 1958 USA fender strat versus a 1997 mexico squire and the price difference you're entering into much bigger arguments than $79 vs $149. The point I was just making is that it's a far bigger impressive synth than at first I thought, I bought it anyway at the start, but the more I use it the more I'm amazed. It's fucken good dude.

Your right FM is superb but that doesnt just include Operator. At the price it is Im still shying away from a purchase. I have FM hardware and software so its not like I really need Operator.

You Operator doods dont need to convert us all you know

What you miss is the ability to use clip automation on *all* parameters. This, added with Live Fx behind Operator, gets you really nice sounds

too $$$$.

I do think it sounds good, but the free synths out there sound good too...

EASY math for me.

i personally think the fm7 is better sound wise, and there is alot more freedom in it as well, with routing of the operators and all modulation.

OPERATOR!!! WOOOO!!!

I make stringent love to my operator every 4 hours.

I love automatable buttocks.

Bring me more live instruments NOW!!!!

some kind of bizzare vocoder type thing called "Vurp"

It's locked to Live which is a drag, and the $$ is too high for me, and since I already have FM7, it's redundant. I do like it though.

I think you can complain about the price, but to say it sucks? Tell us all why it sucks.
