Do you mean using third party samples, or do you mean having a synth with
sounds that you would have tweaking access to the way we do with the motif?

I need to find a nice one to use so I can throw all the others away, I
don't even know what I have for analog with sonar right now. does anything come
with sonar by default?

producing your own sample library (which is very expensive), or else licensing
samples from someone else (which is still expensive for anything quality). Many
of the companies that have been doing sampling professionally for the longest,
and do it the best (like the big 3: Yamaha, Korg, and Roland), won't license
their material to you under any terms or at any cost.

already public domain, so bedroom software companies can slap a lot of existing
building blocks together, put a UI on it, and start selling. If you're one of
those guys, the only way you get noticed in the big sea of options is to pay
for promotion, like paying Cakewalk to be featured in their news letter so to
get you visibility and some perceived cred.

accessibility of this new synth).

companies insist in reproducing the sounds of the old stuff, (yeah it's sounds
cool and some of those sounds are awesome), but can we sort of focus on making
new stuff, using all this computer power to make something different, as oppose
to trying to accurately reproduce every ocilator and technology of the hardware
stuff? Hardware is hardware, software is software; some of the factors of those
old synths can not be reproduced, there's just that factor of electronics and
circuits that change so randomly and depending on so many different factors
that.... It's kind of a waste of time... I'd rather have a completely digital
synth that focuses on that realm and does it well, instead of trying to
imitate/reproduce 10 different synths from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, etc...

softsynth. The new mega supreme Analog Destroyer X hybrid wavetable modeling
softsynth has all of the features that you've been missing in the other 9999
virtual analog softsynths you already own, like flashy new graphics, 100 banks
of unusable factory default presets made by supposedly famous electronic music
artists from MySpace, and includes our new obscuretech modeling engine.

models the frustration of those old marvels. Digital synthesizers have brought
great new sounds, but always stay so in tune and thin. No more! True realism is
here with the new Mega Supreme Analog Destroyer X. Every three minutes, the
main tuning frequency of the Mega Supreme Analog Destroyer X synth will
automatically drift by a random amount that is based on the current temperature
of your CPU. This helps to simulate that wonderful frequency beating that gave
analog synths their character. Also available as a VST effects plug-in, the
built-in LeakTronic effects processor recreates that essential characteristic
hiss of amplification, and accurately simulates bleed from silent oscillators.

Synth Squad Elite Pack offers incredible synth sounds, without all the hassles
associated with hardware synths. Perfect for fans of Rapture, the FXpansion
Synth Squad Elite Pack features three modeled synths-Strobe, Amber, and Cypher
created from meticulously engineered circuit models and designed from the
ground up to take all the abuse you can dish out.
