Technically you're wrong. If Parawave have 10.000 customers and all of them sell their licenses to 10.000 people, those people become customers. So it's 1.38 stars out of 5 kind of joke. I hope your music isn't as bad as your humour.D.K Envelope wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 5:45 pm if you could sell it you would have zero customers right now
good joke right ?

Hi parawave. I don't own this synth, just been demoing it.parawave wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 3:09 pm What kind of scope/content do you expect?
I sometimes read things like: "The Rapid XTs are too expensive." which kind of bothers me. I understand the motivation behind this, but when they compare it to other synth soundsets they think of 128 Sylenth1 patches for 15$ or something like that. 128 single layer patches, created with a very limited synth, compared to modern ones, and no other content.
It's not an objective comparison at all, since no one mentions the exclusive wavetable, multi-sample and drum sample (sometimes even vocal sample) content contained in our XTs. And the considerably more complex presets, sometimes even with multi-layer MIDI sequences.
A fair comparison would be a Rapid XT vs. 128 presets + at least 50 wavetables + 50 multi-samples + 50 drum samples and genre related MIDI compositions. Do you get this for 50€ ?
The price range should be something that is set by the products value, its demand and its competitors. If I read someone who's great at sound design but rarely does soundsets would do one for Rapid, then this is a highlight. And if you sell enough already, then there's no reason to worry.
50€ for a XT is okay, if it offers something more unique. Stepping through the 1000th supersaw isn't meant with that I can do that with any other cheap synth. And if 128 Sylenth1 presets offer sonically the same as a Rapid XT, but is only 15$, then that's a fair comparison.
I don't know who's regularly doing your soundsets, but I feel like I heard them all already in Nexus demos, Avenger demos and so on.
Like probably any other EDM producer I own dozens of samplepacks. So drum samples included don't make it more valueable for me. MIDI compositions are nice, but same here: I wouldn't (and probably legally can't) use them anyways, it's only a gimmick to see the work of someone else and only works for that particular demo. I think 50 multi-samples is also relative, if it's only used for like 1 or 2 patches. That's the value it has for a customer.
The wavetables are the only thing I'd consider useful additional content. Listening to new fancy sounds, preferably not samples made with another synth, made easily editable, tailored to this synth, using its unique features, that's something that makes the value for me.
Hope that helps, great synth so far

Hi Suizimi, I demoed Avenger already but it was soooooo buggy and such a CPU hog, even in version 1.4.x and with every update there are some new twists going on. I think that is not a good sign either.
Hive2 may be worth looking at. At the moment I'm very happy with Synthmaster and just sneak peaking around to see what else is out there

i really apoligize for my older post
it was not fair from me
First point i want say: Parawave has a great support ,
I'm just too impatient and they give you an answer within 24 hours ,and that is true .
Second point: The prices for the Xts are a great value , i was a little disappointed from the pack :"Future Strike" that was not my taste but the others like: Synthwave or Deep house are really great.
Third point: It is the best Synth outhere for me , especially for the sound.
I know its a late apologize but i feel really bad now
I think I have private matters interfere with it
