Symptohm Love? Symptohm 2??

[Funk Dracula]

So much VA overdosing the past few years; it's nice to see this "old" digital guy still impresses the hell out of me.

Now that everyone has VA's up their butt till the end of time, I'm starting to wish that Ohmforce would jump at the opportunity to get ahead of the curve, polish this guy up and release a Symptohm 2.

What would you want to see in a Symptohm 2?

I would like;

1.) Pre/Post filter sends to an aux effects section that has feedback delays etc, OR a modular approach to it featuring ohm plugs.

2.) A multi-out version to route the filter outputs through your hosts mixer.

3.) Improved syncgrain looping, sampling and other osc improvements.

4.) Better patch management. Currently it's just the worst... ever. Sample management on custom patches is a HUGE pain in the arse especially if your trying out wavetable samples from a folder full of thousands of them.

I know these guys are a small team, and up to their eyeballs in developing their DAW. (which unfortunately Bitwig looks to have everything Ohm has been working on for so long, aka online collaboration, modular environment, and them some) Their plug-ins aren't the most novice friendly in the slightest... so it just seems like their "social" DAW is a ship already sunk. I just can't see people migrating towards what I've seen of it thus far.

Seems like dropping Symptohm 2, maintaining it's niche' character and "lane", would fill a void in the market right now and would probably sell quite nicely.

I hear Alchemy does some similar things, but everything I hear from the demos doesn't seem like it's quite the focused synth that Symptohm is along sounding digital and granular.

Opinions?

I think one of the obvious things they could do is bring in more of their effects processors into it...

And since Ohmicide indicates they're obviously still fond of 'Quad' of everything, maybe bump it up to four oscillators, with some form of dynamic morphing/mixing (a la vectors) between them.

Unfortunately, Im not so sure they will; they've never really gone back and done a V2 of anything...

I would think it's obvious that Ohmforce is pretty much closed down, probably one or two guys still checking the emails in their lunch break of their day job.
