| quote: | | superwave CAN be good but the fact that its made with synthedit holds it back in a big big way |
synthedit doesnt hold it back one bit. 'bad worksman' and 'blames tools' springs to mind.
cyrus. if its muddy then its probably aliasing and sticking on the frequency over half your sample rate back onto the bottom of the waveform. or its bass heavy because its low passed and superwaved.to compensate, EQ out some of the sub. if there a problem with mudiness or sibilance 99% of the time it is fixable with EQ, compression or layering it with other timbres to shift the focus away from it.
the only thing that makes superwave synths not quite so good is the fact that superwave dont really support their products. they take ages to answer problem emails and when they did to me they just said 'thanks for taking an interest in our product.' not good. it doesnt help that superwave pro/trance pro still has bugs in it. they still havent fixed that annoying glitch where the LFO doesnt play correctly for the first few seconds of playing. you also cannot determine the waveform and at at what point of the waveform the LFO oscillates from (peak, lowest point or 0 point), it always starts at the lowest point. the lowpass filter is also not very sensitive the first quarter of the way up the slider and then waaay too sensitive after that meaning that filter sweeps arent really that smooth and sound a bit jittery. these are fixes that people have been asking for since about march of this year (probably before, i only got it in march and the complaints were already there). they still havent fixed these problems to my knowledge. zeta differs in the sense that renee actually supports his product (very well too) and zeta has alot of patches made by third, semi professional and professional parties. with superwave pro you are on your own and dont expect additional patches to show you the ins and outs of the instrument.
ultimately, since the multi timbrality of all softsynths is dependant on your CPU, the CPU load of the synth (+ the effects you put on it) and your willingness to slog through with a latency of 350 ms, you can achieve amazing things with any of these instruments as long as you know what you doing and you know the instrument like the back of your hand.
and yes, djdust, agonyx does indeed rule.

blames tools? nah man, z3ta blows away superwave in terms of phatness, I will also prove that another way, change yer suprwave waveforms to saw, and all i here a thin ass tone.
put the jp8000 waveform to normal saw, and its quite thick, massive even.
also there is a bug that occurs when the buffer is cleared, not sure if its only on chords or single notes but occurs an all computers i have tested it on, where it phases the fist second of audio coming from it only afer buffer is cleared.
though this may not be such a big deal, problems like this hold it far back from being a 100% type synth and i reach for the z3ta instead of the superwave..
I dont know many bad worksmen that choose z3ta over simple interface superwave
