Was looking at NI PRO-52. It's a Prophet-5 emulator. I do have a Prophet Synth preset with Tassman already. I took a look at Reaktor while at the NI site and it sounds impressive, but is also quite a bit more expensive. Any experienced with either or both of these softsynths? How are they? How much processing power do they eat as you add polyphony or in Reaktor's case, modules?

A synth with a spigot that pours out coffee would be nice. Imagine. The next os would come out adding beer, wine, and pina coladas to the list of available spigots. I could see myself drinking a stein while posting in the Novation forum, "It took a while but OS 4.6 was worth the wait".

It looks like I'm going for Reaktor. Looks pretty awesome to me.

wait for absynth to come out at least man, its definately no way near as open-ended but completely freaky-unique. My G3 hold up pretty fcuking well with it too - like mebbe 5% extra on the cpu when used as a vsti for average patches.

Rain on my parade why don't you. I was comtemplating that a while ago. Absynth looks wild and tempting as hell, but what I'm reading about Reaktor and all that it offers sounds too good to pass up. I'm gonna d/l the demo tomorrow anyway. Would the quality of my life be better if there was only one choice? I'm beginning to think so.

reaktor is a programers dream, but i'm too lazy, and it's too hungry. pro52 is, as has been said, pretty good for the sounds that it does & it's piss easy to program. but i've a sneaky suspicion that absynth will/does piss on them both.

native instruments are just the dons, aren't they?

marc_d, hahahahahah!

most mac types seem to prefer absynth even though its less flexible ......those envelopes and the ability to draw your own waveforms in realtime really make it stand out. Not that I can program it to save me life, course.

I`m not saying you`ll like it more but at least wait to size it up as theres nothing like it (theres nowt like reaktor either, but you know what I mean

Jeez. There's nothing like you either but that doesn't mean I'm sitting around waiting for you to come out :P

I know. Absynth is very unique looking. But you can draw envelopes in Reaktor 3 as well, or least there are some presets made for it that allow for it.
