If you were involved with Rayblaster from the start during Beta testing, creating waveforms for it from scratch, by doing tons of single cycles of other synths and finally creating around 160+ presets and then audio demos you would be a bit "overprotective" too maybe.

The combination of ALL features in Rayblaster still seems to be quite unique. Two examples are the Osc windows and the PW sequences. Picking out a few and saying that this other synth is similar to Rayblaster is not correct IMO.

For example Harmor is based on an additive engine and Rayblaster is not. That's already a big difference. Then Harmor does include a certain amount of filter modes. Rayblaster does create the filter response based on the waveform you "feed" into it which could either lead to something like an emulation or lead to some crazy "fantasy filters" with big changes in the timbre while turning the Formant knob.

I tried to explain thise here a while ago (using screenshots and audio demos):

Agreed.

but the question was about specific features, which are available in many other synth/samplers.

but they have absolutely no connection to the ops question.

Sure they have. They show how broad the spectrum of possible timbres of Rayblaster is. For one example it would be possible to find a synth that does them but for ALL of those it is more difficult so those are directly related to the OP...

One type of synth that comes to my mind is a wavetable synth like e.g. Largo but that one will have problems doing granular style sounds.
Then there is Alchemy but that one could have problems with the wavetable like sounds and maybe also some others.

that wasnt the question:

Hi Kriminal,

still posting on Tone2 thread? We both know that you hardly find a good word for those...

its not a tone2 thread, its a kvr instruments forum thread, asking if anything other than rayblaster can do something specific.
are you saying that no other sampler can do what the op asked?

most sample players (probably all, i havent used them all) can do the specific things asked about.

there was no "so what sounds is rayblaster capable of?" there was a specific question, which your audio demos in no way answer.

vurt answered your question for me

That's not the question. I gave examples about what Rayblaster is able to and that's all. Others could draw their conclusions.

Besides that Rayblaster is no typical "sampler". It could use single cycles, short samples or import samples with the Resynthesis feature but i would not call it a sampler. A sampler also usually includes fixed filter models. Rayblaster creates filter responses based on the waveforms that are used with it.

that was exactly the question



why? the OP didnt ask for any and the ones you gave are not relevant to his question




his question was based on that single example, your soundbites have nothing to do with his question

no one said it was a piece of crap, we just pointed out that yes, many other things can do what the op asked for.
are you suggesting that nothing else can do what the op asked for?
