LOL!  Thanks for sharing that!  It's funny how "torturous" is a good adjective in this case... :)

Cheers,

Oh, yeah. He gets it! And sounds like he's having a ton of fun with Waverazor. Nice placement.

I've been "playing with this synth for 2 days and am amazed how many SICK sounding leads you can develop out of the simplest wave pattern...there is absolutely no other product I know of that can mangle, alter, subtract and granularize sound like this...thus far, I have only 2 pet peeves and they are pretty minor, though I hope they see some improvement in future revs...1) the arpeggiator...would love to be able to have more control over it and be able to develop and alter patterns...as it is right now, I don't plan on using it a whole lot & 2) a matrix which allows and shows parameters which are being controlled. I understand that one can set up the automation within the DAW but I am one of those individuals who likes to control it all from within the VST.

Great jobs guys on a wonderful product!! I find it a fabulous compliment to Biotek, Omnisphere 2 and the new BT Phobos synth from Spitfire.

Thanks @raymond123!

The arpeggiator came online pretty late in the game and I didn't have a chance to do more than a few basic patterns, but there is a lot more capability underneath the hood.  I think you'll be happier once the deep editor is available and you can access those parameters.  I'll be super happy too because then I'll be able to hear all the cool things you guys do with it!

And we also have a pretty serious modulation matrix that allows for close to 200 mod routes.  You can set up MIDI CCs in there to control specific parameters, or you can group a bunch of parameter destinations under a macro control in the GUI for performance or automation. (I know you said you don't really do that.)  Of course you can route LFOs and Envelopes through the matrix, and the maximum number of each is really only limited by the total number of routes you have available to use them.

Every parameter in Waverazor is available for modulation, even the on/off switches and list-based items, not just the numerical values.  And finally, you can send trigger signals and gates through the matrix, which can launch envelopes and freeze LFOs among other things.  It's incredibly capable.

I know it sounds like an amazing playground, but it's actually quite frustrating right now, mainly because our development tools can't efficiently manage that complexity.  It's slow, it's hard to find things, and I think it would make you guys more sad than happy.  Hence, we have not released that part of Waverazor and continue to focus on getting our editor version out, which will make sound design quick and fun.  That's the goal at any rate...

Lastly, I want to thank you for letting us know what you want Waverazor to do.  It definitely helps us prioritize our development goals.

All the best,
Taiho
