V-Station was the best one I'd found for editing, but it wasn't entirely 
stable. Sometimes, when I'd load projects with it, they'd crash Sonar.

You can edit Pentagon from the inspector. Isn't extremely easy to work that 
way, though. Maybe if someone got something going with act it would be easier, 
but I'm not motivated enough to do it.

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?

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
