It's a nice synth and all it does seem kinda 'chunky" to me, sluggish and choppy. I also wish they had a bigger and more diverse collection of factory presets to showcase the power this synth can do.

316 presets isn't enough (or diverse enough)?

anything less than 324 is an abomination!

Yeah, consider yourself lucky to have 316 presets. Think of all those poor souls who bought an expensive Steinway D and only got a single preset!

I'm not interested in Massive X because I don't want to work with a plug-in that makes my Macbook fan run all the time. Seriously.

And Massive X is not interested in working with people who's Macbooks will slow the plugin down

Could not resist turning things around from dev perspective

Then it's a win=win situation!

but no aliasing.
which proves that additional presets are what cause aliasing.

that's a scam right there. i sat down at a 'steinway' recently. no power switch, no midi. and no usb!

Also another item on the wishlist: expanding the noise oscs altogether. I want to control their phase too.

There's a phase control for each noise osc in the Voicing page.

Yeah, there's not even a cup holder!

Though in fairness, with the lid closed, they make decent dining tables.

Yes. Whenever I release my first Kontakt instrument, I promise it shall have cupholders!

[highkoo]

So why should we deem this any more acceptable?

Pretty simple imo;

There is still no f**king manual, correct?

That doesnt make someone not-wrong, and maybe doesnt excuse confidence in wrongness, but it does excuse quite a huge bit of fumbling around that led to being wrong.

Ya, and for some reason people are quicker to fault a random user for stumbling around trying to figure out wtf is going than the beloved NI for leaving us sitting with this mess.

What mess? It's more fun to tweak synths without manual. It's the best way to explore and learn synth or any other instrument. This way you can create a sound in a way that nobody else did before and most importantly it's so much fun to experiment with synths not knowing what to expect it's also good for brain to work this way.

That's the difference. Positive attitude <---> negative attitude.

From Stockholm?
You both sound insane.
