i had three sessions with the demo.
long winded post. Don´t read if it does not fit you !
i like some of the sounds (presets) very much.
i´m not into track making / production works. But with some sounds, i really just wanted to start a track immediately.
Songs, Pink Floyd never made, haha....you know that: "Ohh, Wow, thats Pink Floyd" feel ?
i usually only have such feels with whole -big and complex- patches, not with single sounds. Feels Great !![;)]( "Wink")
...and tells something, no ?
Agreed on the visual feedback !
And this turns now a rant. (couln´t keep it shorter. sorry)
How the UI is built, thats a NoGo for my taste.
Do NOT do that please!
Do not give me abstract symbols => with no other visual feedback on top of it.
Means, as is, would i have to learn the GUI again and again fresh, ....but i still would never know what values are set vs. the single parameters. For example add rings around your symbols to reflect the set value ?
Remember; if you look at a HW analog one, you see all set values in one go !
I see the value vs. trying to walk new pathes.
But the visual feedback should not be scrumbled, imho. Otherwise are you making my experience with such a tool a unpleseant one. But thats just me ofcourse.
Then the preset browser. it´s a bit matured vs. "Kult" i guess ( long time no see).
but still feels not good enough vs. "what i hope to get from such a product".
What puts me completly off is: the colour you´ve chose to highlight the loaded preset.
I can´t see anything on my 27" screen. And it´s even on my 40" screen not allways simple to see what preset is loaded.
It´s a nice purple, true. But why would you not just give it the same colour as the FAV asteriks has ? That orange.
I don´t get it.
Many, if not most of us, are dealing with not only dozends but in the meantime hundreds of plugins.
Visual feedback is everything ! -For me- things do stand or fall here.
I have other good sounding synths on my disposal anyway. That alone is not cutting it.
The whole experience must fit. YMMV
otherwise:
i REALLY dig Arovanes preset work ! Well donne dude ! well donne.
i had so so inspiring jamms with some of those.
(still plenty others open to dig thru)
and then this:
add some nifty dynamicEQing to it, and see how much better it can sound (Tipp).
Many of its sounds are the perfect match for that little trick![;)]( "Wink")
ahh, ADSR, as so often the case. the "linearity" vs. the controls are not refined. "Release" needs a rework in my opinion.
I mean, i load my plugins in GigPerformer. I can -and do- adjust the curvatures there.
but "Release" was even there a stretch to deal with.
( this "problem" is not that seldom. found in many plugins)
I would not want to know how these parameters would feel when CC mapping it in a DAW without any curvature remapping feature.
sorry for long post.
at least it´s on topic, haha
