Sylenth 2 .. what new features would you like to see?

If Sylenth 2 would be made to make the ultimate VA synth..

- what new features would you like to see?

- which features would you wanna see improved?

It's best if you post all your requests briefly as bullet points and comment to each others suggestions.

Also, don't you think the Ana synth kinda is like Sylenth with more features?

Lennard should finish Sylenth1 first.

Granular, waveshaping, FM, multi breakpoint envelopes and lots and lots of samples, at least one of which should include setting fire to an instrument.
Oh wait.

yeah a fully working 64bit Mac version would be nice. Really thought it would be released by now.

In my ideal world there would be a way to change signal routing. But this is all just wank anyway, innit?

Same here. I can't imagine what the holdup is, but Lennard just seems to be a weird dude.

As for new features, I think it could be double-edged sword. One of the main reasons for Sylenth's appeal is that it delivers a great sound with very low CPU use, so you can really load up the number of instances in any project. I think that its simplicity is also a huge part of its appeal. Once you start bloating it with new features, both the simplicity and the CPU usage start to go out the window. Urs mentioned this very point recently when he was responding to people who wanted to see all these different features and other (non-subtractive) synthesis types in Hive. He basically said, no because it would drive up the CPU hit, or cause digital artifacts/aliasing, require more oversampling, etc., which would drive up the CPU usage.

Anyway, all that said:

Exactly.

The original with all presets ever made.

The presets are what make Sylenth1 good.

Damn, welcome back Beatflux! It's been like a year since you were last on here?

Back on topic - you're right. The presets for Syleth are what made it a hit. It's not particularly fun to program and the patch banks out there are pretty damn great.

Sylenth2 will be here shortly.

It has been renamed Hive.

What they both said. The next closest thing I've found to the abundance and quality of preset banks for a synth would be Spire. If you haven't checked out Spire yet, I highly recommend you do.

Does it have a cowbell button? If not, it should.

I don't think one cowbell button would be enough, though.

More cowbell is naturally better.
