There are lots of ad on sounds for Rapture. Some of them are very complex. You 
can edit a lot. However, the one part of Dimension or Rapture voices that you 
can't edit are the envelopes. There isn't a way to do it with a screen reader. 
In order to create an envelope, you need to draw a curve with the mouse.

Hi:
I don't have any experience with what you are trying to do, but aren't you able 
to do all of that and more with the full version of Rapture?  I believe most if 
not all of its features are already accessible and you can get plenty of 
expansion packs for it.

        Have you tried FM8? I don't know if that's exactly what you mean.

        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?

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.

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.

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...

<http://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.

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.
