VAZ is great for supersaw sounds. There is very little difference between it and mp JP. I'm still using VAZ 2001 aswell, not checked out modular yet as I'm happy with 2001

I'm using gladiator with lennar digital sylenth 1 which covers most basic needs.

I really like the sound of gladiator and the routing / mod possibilitys are fantastic. But then again it's a matter of taste.

As for supersaw sounds ( not the pad eg airwave but for leads ) I'm using the excellent Ross Baker rb2k1 for reaktor.

Can any one advise how the rb2k1 emb compares to vaz?

It seems like Gladiator is really trying to give synths like Massive and thor (reason) a run for their money, but I really don't need another synth even if it was brilliant.
I find Massive can give anything a run for its money, and with the quality set to economical, I can easily get 80+ voices out of it on my laptop. So its sort of become my workhorse synth.
I think the quality's great and the modulation is just beautiful. Absynth I used to like but I can't get into it these days, I think they changed the interface somehow... FM8 is hard work, but its OK for certain sounds, I'm still trying to work it out.
The premade stuff for Reaktor is great, but I have real trouble creating ensembles in it myself. Any tips Lolo?
What are people mainly using Reaktor for? I'm guessing it must be something a little mroe custom than just building a supersaw since other synths do that easily...

ive just purchased gladiotor last night and im ipressed with it, just one thing tho is doing my head in, when in unison mode if i turn the spread down fully its still in stereo infact it doesnt even seem to alter the stereo spread just the detuning/pan worble thingy,is this normal?, i would of thought turning this down would make it more mono also! boy is it fat tho and surprisingly simple to navigate
