Although I've never done it, I've heard that hypersonic's parameters are 
accessible. I'm not sure if you can get as extensive with it as you're looking 
for, but I have heard from several blind users that its parameters are quite 
accessible. I've messed with its fx very minimally, and they're definitely 
accessible, but never messed around with or probed its oscillators.

  I mean an analog soft synth. I want one with like 3 oscillators and a couple 
filters, maybe some fx, although I can patch fx in my self. I want to make some 
nice thick bass sounds and cool leads. maybe something with an arp on it?

    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?

      but I want to build my own sounds, what's a good synth for that?

        I really like hypersonic 2 for analog and synth stuff.

          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?

because they're cheap as crap to produce. Anything sample based requires either 
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.

with accessibility of this new synth).

do 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...

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.
