I didn't say a synth has to do everything to be somebody's favorite synth. But if it's going to be MY favorite synth, hands down above every synth ever made, YES, it HAS to do EVERYTHING.fluffy_little_something wrote:Again, I don't get your logic. Who says a synth has to be able to do everything in order to become someone's favorite synth? According to those yearly rankings, a lot of people say Diva or Sylenth1 is their favorite synth. Both are merely subtractive synths, so they do not do anything fancy such as wavetables. Yet...wagtunes wrote:And the differences between synths is EXACTLY WHY I don't have a favorite. There is no synth yet made that does everything. Reaktor probably could but I don't have the patience to design my ultimate synth, nor the skill required.
That's why I use the synth that NEEDS to be used in order to get the sound that I want for THAT particular song. And it can vary from song to song even within the same concept CD.
Doesn't mean that I can't TRULY love synths for what each synth brings to the table or for how fun the synth is to program.
The two things do not have to be mutually inclusive.
That is my prerogative. Why do you insist on telling me that I have to have a favorite synth and HOW that synth has to be my favorite synth and for what REASONS that synth has to be my favorite synth?
I don't tell you why your favorite synth should be YOUR favorite synth.
Allow me the same courtesy.
