One thing I'm waiting for, is a software version of the Motif XS. There's a
few electric piano sounds that I'm looking for, and the Yamaha company said
they might be on the Motif XS.

I'm still waiting for somebody to do a software emulation of the
synclavier's fm synth.  I really think that would be a novel approach that
would yield some really unique sounds, and conceptually it was really easy
to create sounds from scratch on it.  It didn't have filters, so adding
filters to it would be an added bonus.

Yep. Virtual analog has been so done to death that we've already heard as
good as it is going to get for many years, if ever. People should give up
and make something new.

The real reason that we get so many of those type of synth plugs is 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.

Its so easy to just throw together another synth that uses computationally
produced sounds, with a slightly different interface for controlling how it
all works. Most of the code for doing all of that (generating waveforms,
digital signal processing, simple effects algorithms) is 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.

If you all have money to spend, go buy the new sample packs for Dimension
Pro. At least those won't sound like synths that you already have, and with
CakeTalking, you'll be able to edit those presets (good luck with
accessibility of this new synth).

Lol! Nice post man... It's something I've wondered for a while, why 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...

D!J!X!

Doubt it.

That blerb didn't excite me too much. Yawn.

Anywhere, USA - for immediate release.

YetAnotherCompany.com releases world's 10,000th virtual analog modeling
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.

Many virtual analog softsynths model the actual circuits of your favorite
classic synths. However, the new obscuretech (TM) 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.

Do away with the clean and sterile sound of your tracks! Waste your time
like the old pros! Party like its 1979! Order Mega Supreme Analog Destroyer
X today for only $299. Order now. Download bandwidth is limited.

I got this in a news letter. Just wondering if it's accessible now, or if
David will be scripting for it or any info any  one has reguarding this new
soft synth.
The info on the synth is below.

Blurring the lines between hardware and software synths, the FXpansion 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.
