    Phaseplant!!!!!!

    Yes! Another Phase Plant convert! :D PP is a hell of synth. I've noticed that my usage of other synths has dropped very drastically since doing things in PP takes me less time than using other synths...

    Quanta 2 / Tomofone / Portal

    Quite different beasts the three. Portal is a granular FX, Tomofon uses wavetables, Quanta 2 is a granular synth. I don't quite see how these would cancel each other out. Personally of the three I would pick Quanta, but your needs may be different.

    Why does IK Multimedia generally have a bad reputation?

    I've used a bunch of their products over the years, some were decent, some bad, some good and some that I use still. What grinds my gears with IK is their overly convoluted installation and authorization things. Every time I've had to the installations atleast twice...

    Your opinion on these midi faders controllers please...

    Soft synth or sampler

    The reason I asked it this way is I've gotten a few requests of why I don't release my sound sets as Kontakt instruments. Hence I wanted to know which option would be preferable. :) For those who do not know I mainly work with soft synth that have sample capabilities and use my recordings as...

    So simple question that keeps me pondering about what to do with my sound design explorations. When talking about designed sounds do you prefer them as sampler instruments or as presets for a soft synth?

    Sound Particles are releasing "the first spatial synthesiser" - now revealed as Skydust

    Having now spent sometime with the synth (not a deep dive yet) I have a feeling that while the 3D part is cool I can't think of what this has a synth that the others on my system don't give me. I can already do similar things with plugins for less of an original price. Now if this was a...

    Yeah, that kind of marketing doesn't work for me either. Then again I prefer the weirder kind of synths... :D And on that note, can't wait to see what Sound Particles is going to release today. They're calling it a spatial synth.

    Who makes Horns like This? WTF?

    An assumption that is wildly wrong. There are quite the many horn libraries out there so it's not safe to assume that everyone will know. Just more friendly to those who have never used those to let people know right away. My first though was, oh another 8dio thread coming...

    I would understand this addon thing if they had released them in CLAP format so everyone can buy them and use them in their DAW if it supports CLAP.
