Effectrix in all likelyhood is prob better but I like Camel Space still. Its simple and looks quicker to tweak than Effectrix.

I've always prefered knobs over drawing in automations, but I'd imagine you can get more complex manipulations at the same time.

And yeh I think some aspects of Camel do sound a bit crappy, but I also notice its when you overuse them, as with anything thats focus is on fx, its easier to destroy a decent sound than it is to create something better IF you don't know what you're doing.
