Hi, the subject said it all. I've demoed ANA2 for 30mins and love the way it sounds and the arp and CMD has more fun than Avenger and Rapid too. However, I'd like to hear more synth gurus here for their comments. Should I buy ANA2 to comp these 2 big boys.
Any suggestions/comments are highly appreciated.
Cheers!

Only one person can answer that question. You. I own all 3. But my priorities and criteria might be different from yours.
I find that, regardless of the synth, there are always enough differences between any two of them that I can justify getting yet another one. Even something as simple as Arturia Mini V versus Synapse Audio's Legend. Both Minimoog emulations but both sound different.
IMO, ANA 2 is different enough from the other two synths to get it.

Avenger and Rapid are both fantastic synths and top of the line.
I bought ANA 2 as well so I have all three as Wags does. ANA is a joy to use and I'm liking it more each time I use it. Personally, I think it does it own thing and sounds fantastic. So, you can't go wrong with it IMO.

Does ANA 2 have aliasing problems like the original ANA? (Sorry if this has been addressed already, I still haven't dug deep into the other ANA thread)

No prob. Let's put it this way. ANA 1 they slapped together in a few weeks. ANA 2 they worked on for years. It's night and day compared to the original.Russell Grand wrote:Excellent, thank you wag.wagtunes wrote:In a word, no.Russell Grand wrote:Does ANA 2 have aliasing problems like the original ANA?

High resonance filter sweeps are aliasing (except the LP6, LP12 and OBER LP) (i've only tried the LP filters)

He asked if it had problems LIKE ANA 1. Not if it had no aliasing at all. It doesn't. It's not even close to as bad. Very few soft synths made have no aliasing if you push them hard enough. If he had asked if it had any aliasing at all, I would have answered yes. But he wants a comparison to the original. You can't compare the two at all. They're night and day with ANA 2 vastly improved over the original.exmatproton wrote:Euh, yes there iswagtunes wrote:In a word, no.Russell Grand wrote:Does ANA 2 have aliasing problems like the original ANA?

Now if the OP wants a synth with no aliasing, he's got very few choices in the software world and might as well just stick with hardware.

They did it well.
That Arp and CMD is wonderful.
It seems that Cthulhu merged.
Besides, there are many good points of other software such as preset and wavetable browser.
All of them are functions and workflows that users of standard soft synths wanted.
It will be a new standard model.
And low price presets.
Trembling of hands stops than alcohol when you buy it.
I generally go one year, two years after the software is released.
Look at "What happened after the release" and choose stability.

ANA2 has some aliasing on certain LP filters (only tested the LP Filters), when sweeping them with high resonance settings. The OSC's sound quite clean, but have aliasing going on as well (tested it on 44.1kHz)
tested a simple saw (HD, filter; ROLI);

Nobody needs another synth... But everybody 'wants' another one.egbert101 wrote:[
You have two wavetable synths. Why do you need a third? They all cover the same territory.
