Does any one have a dream soft synth? What would it be like? What kind of sound generating method should it have and how would the user interface for that be like?

I dream of synthesizing sounds like these....it should use proper anal synthesis. Many people underestimate the impact of the cheeks on the tone. For good sound, you will need to properly model both the shape and size of the cheeks as well as the "embouchure" of the anus.

That synth should master the F(art)M(ethane) synthesis...

Perhaps V(irtual) A(nal) would be even more successful...

I’m a amateur musician who for many years have been developing a design for a software synth, mostly out from my own preferences and wishes. Now I’m getting together a team to realize it. I have come to the conclusion that to have a good chance on the market there needs to be a demand for the concept and features. Maybe there would be if they were known, but I don’t want to impose any bias to the question.
I would like to know if there are things you miss or could be better among the synths today. Is there any concept or features you think should be out there but is missing?
Maybe this question is improper in this forum? I don’t know. Any suggestions where I else should turn with a question like this?

Here’s my dream. A top shelf, classed out, no alias instrument for performance musicians in todays digital environment. What’s important here is the highest audio quality at adjustable rates for drafting and bouncing.
Single layer, dual filter, comb+granular, dual oscillator with with FM/AM. Filters are FM/AM. All home cooked algo’s. Full bank of scalable modulators inc. trance gate and full velocity mapping. No FX. Done in dark tones with beautiful purple/pinks/patels. Matrix style adjustable size. No Presets. Must be light and fast, Thanks!

Well, let's pretend you get 50 different people to reply to this thread then, which is already massive, how would that be a good representation of what people want in general? I'd much rather check what is available on the market already, and what's popular, and use that as an orientation. And if you care for a hint: The most popular seem to be VA/hybrid flagship synths like Spire, Dune, Sylenth1, Zebra and likes. The more exotic and esoteric it gets, the less people will be interested in it, because it's niche. I know, boring, but, that's how it is, in my experience. I'd go for a rich featured VA/hybrid synth, with a classic layout and architecture, which doesn't overwhelm people, but, at the same time, gives you enough versatility to make most sounds imaginable. I think Dune 2 has a fantastic architecture, for example, which really fits to what i described.Fungisonoris wrote:I’m a amateur musician who for many years have been developing a design for a software synth, mostly out from my own preferences and wishes.

Oh, and if you make it sound like a Virus, or a Waldorf Q, or something inbetween, i think you'd have an instant winner there. In my eyes, many soft synth devs orientate at hardware, but, the fewest really manage to carry that punchy, aggressive sound some hardware has over, really.
