Jeff: I think that hypersonic is accessible out of the box as far as loading patches and the like, and all kinds of parameters show up in the synth rack view. Gigastudio is really a pita, though some folks have been able to use the vst version. I was using the rewire gigastudio with sonar but gave up because it is such a resource hog and makes things quite unstable. One of these days I'd like to get the cs80 plug. The original synth had some pretty awesome sounds, just listen to some of the early '80s tomita recordings.

I'm really not interested in tweaking, but just having access to the already made presets and sound libraries. Steinberg Hypersonic Tascam Gigastudio Arturia CS80v or Mini-moog Native Instruments Complete If not currently, are they candidates for HSC revamping?? Thanks Jeff
