Totally agree with you!
You guys are insane. It would be ridiculous NOT to mention Diva as it's considered the best analog emulation. If you are comparing #2 and #3, how can you not mention #1?

Insane? What kind of bad behaviour!

Both great synths. While minimonsta does some amazing things, and it's sound is top notch, I'd recommend saurus in terms of approximating analog authenticity/"magic"/whatever people would tend to call it.

But it really depends what you're looking for in the sound itself, because they both sound great, and minimonsta has a specific minimoog character to it, where as saurus has a different flavor, and to my ears, just a little something more in terms of the liveliness of the sound and the multimode filter.

Thanks, I will probably get one or the other next weekend (birthday time

). I would just charge it right now but am clearing up some other bills first.

YES

I only say it to highlight that you have something personal against Diva, some competitiveness that comes through even when you are being diplomatic. You may not be an employee but you are affiliated, you mention that (sort of flaunt it) again and again, and at least in that regard you have a biased vested interest and you should be careful how you represent yourself in connection with those companies, especially how you mention their competition.

Diva (or any other synth) can be mentioned by me and anyone else in Instruments, not just the 'Diva forum' and again, you are not a cop that should be telling people what to post and where, that is for the mods to determine.

my god, man... where the hell do you get all this money to buy all this software?

you must be independently wealthy! sheesh

Yeah I know just I'm not using it much. I am on the fence about selling it and if no one bites then that is OK.

EDIT: ok I decided against selling it but am asking Sugar-Bytes to trade the license for Guitartist (they switched me from Guitartist to Consequence, that's how I got it in the first place , I hope I don't piss them off!)

Now that's more like it. Finally another synth enter the discussion.
