It's interesting that they're calling this a "new" synthesis type. Fractal synthesis has been around for quite some time and synths like Reaktor can do it AFAIK. Maybe their implementation of it is something new.

Yeah I read up on an article of it and noticed the date : 2003.

I assume they'll start doing some kind of combination of synthesis for even more options..?

And is it me, or does each form of synthesis seem to do a really good job of covering at least 1 aspect of a typical track...

for example...I find FM synthesis providing me the better FX and "whoosh", while 3xOSC gives me some of the better bass sounds (I use a 3xOSC for my benny-bass emulations), etc...

I've scoured around for some examples of fractal synthesis and came up empty handed...granular seems to be quite prevalent atm.

Fm is good at everything if you know what your doing. Which almost no one does.

Subtractive is also good for everything really, if you have enough oscillators and envelopes.

You do realize that you're not stuck with Gladiator's presets, right? Gladiator 2 is an excellent synth for designing your own sounds and has a range of sources (oscillator shapes + nearly infinite HCM variables), filter types, modulation sources/destinations, etc. that is not approached by too many subtractive synths.

Right, and I delve way into it all the time, but the core samples have a very sugar coated poppy tonality which stops this being as good as it could be in my humble op.

I almost never use presets. Gladiator is powerful though and I've squeezed some goodness from it.

I prefer it to sylenth actually.
