I like hardware synth the most, I've tried several soft synth doesn't matter how good they are or sound with the processing power of the cpu behind it The depth of programming seems simple but can be a deep dip wading through a forest of functions envelopes , effects and what not. I like certain limits to get most out of something ease of programming is one of them it takes time getting an idea and sculpt it out of concept. Such steers my creativity shaping not only how to work around things but how it needs to sound and if getting a satisfying sound. Most sound created in a synthesized way are either because of the wanted result or by accident. I've have not as of yet put much effort in sculpting sound with envelopes could not wrap my head around but eventually learning doing it step wise entering value's for parameters could pay of in time. I'm still stuck as in the big bad wolf huffing and puffing blowing the house down. To me sound is just a gush of wind instead of a blowing effect of an brass ensemble which would sound nicer if I could make such early reference of such, Experimenting gave such insight. Creating something like a slow whoop sound is a challenge. Its just recently that I've started keeping zone 1 free for the solo-synth for the sake of programming envelope style or any sound movement in performance mode doing it on the G1, Should reference more to the exemplary template available to get a feel for it adjusting settings what not. I'm glad synthesizers have more then two knobs or sliders . Sounds a bit biased saying my preference is to hard synth more then soft synth, honestly I've put more time in G1 then my other gear which as a learning base should not be solely at one instrument to say the least. But all in all the effort put in there gave me a wider view in sound design and synthesis so it doesn't feel like a total loss . I've got two more powerful instruments the PX5S and MW1 and the sonar software synths the only time consuming is the time to lay it out for an, performance level aka Vangelis studio but that a different story .
