The only one I am interested in is RG, it's on sale for $60 at JRR until the end of the day I guess. I just wish I had the budget for it, talking about generic, it is anything but that.

'Cause they off the shelf algos you get on any freeware cousin. They just have more options.

I like some of RP's stuff. Albino was my fav years ago, as of now I own Blue2 and Predator. Predator is a quick to program synth with a more than healthy preset list. It sounds good and is easy to drop in a track. I don't consider it a "character" synth. I do like the fx version but truth be told I use Zebrify more often for things like that (more of a habit than anything else).

Blue2 is a bit different. I use it when I don't want some "wide-super-saw-taking-up-all-the space" sound. I use it mostly in tracks that have other acoustic/traditional type instruments. IMO, it cuts through and holds its own without me having to notch stuff all over the place to get everything to fit. For me it's a well balanced synth, like Zebra. They are very different synths but both are workhorses in my setup.

Would you like them on a boat?
Would you like them with a goat?

Anyone getting viruses when they try and download the demos?

Getting viruses or getting virus alerts? Not necessarily the same thing...

Is the thread still up, I would love to read it.

I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like green eggs and Papen.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

I have the Explorer III bundle. I "like" his synths and think Blue II is the best of the lot. Covers a lot of ground and has a great sound.

I don't know if RG counts as a synth, but if it does, it is top - notch. A real creative tool, this thing is a work of genius. check it out.

I like Blue and Blue 2 even better.
Sometimes I'll throw in Albino 3.
No one mentioning Blade? To me I use Blade more than Predator.

I heard Predator 2 is being worked on...we shall see.

Also Punch is okay.

I think this sums up Predator pretty well. It doesn't really explode in your face when browsing presets, but it sits fine in a mix and doesn't eat up every known frequency in the hearable spectrum known to man

A great synth to learn how to program synths on. I would be most interested in a Predator 2 if the rumors are correct.

Technically they're alerts and when I scan them they seem to be OK. But yesterday I downloaded Raw and when it finished none of my folders could open. I didn't think much of it after a system restore which fixed it but today I downloaded Blade and my antivirus deletes it and tells me this...

Interesting. I decided to put it (the RAW demo installer) through one of those on-line services and the Symantec engine flagged this:

Rating: Suspicious.Insight

Suspicious.Insight is a detection for files that have not yet developed a strong reputation among Symantec’s community of users. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology.

The reputation-based system uses “the wisdom of crowds” (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application blah blah blah-dy blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

I think you will be fine ....although the folder not opening thing sounds a little odd

but somehow I don't think that it's Rob and Jon's business plan to get hold of your computer and steal all your nude selfies

What do you think of Rob Papen synths?
