Dodging the question quite well Phil SA

You can Fm osc 1 using osc 2 or 3, osc 2 using osc 3 or the sub, osc 3 just the sub.

1-3 all have pulse width too and a sub with pulse, triangle and sine shapes

Osc 1-3 are all capable of 3D wavetables

When you combine all that you can do some super crazy stuff.
Yes when I sync stuff it is often in a WT synth like Massive or Rapid and you don't even need another oscillator these days. I don't really synthesize pads, sometimes can, bit of saw tooth/supersaw and even then it is not using multiple oscillators.

Mainly and I do try and make most of my own sounds and when I don't I customize a preset heavily for the feel I am after.

Because I make music, it is less so an excercise in making the most spectrally and dimensionally thickest sounding *most unusable synth preset in the history of synthesis. :hihi: (Which is not a criticism of your listing of ANA2's capabilities which seem great ! And we all need something to grow into - I had not even really took that list in... more that I make a sound for a space/effect rather than needing a super huge preset that does not work in a mix. Which many synths seem to be filled up with by default these days, I never get those.. here is an arp sequence ready for you to use presets :roll: )

3D wavetable is like Serum, massive, Ppg wave etc.
ok, clear response, not a marketing sentence ! :tu:

Sorry I mean "our hyper mega super 4d multi segment waveforming superbrain, made within pure ultra resonating Kryptonite."

That better! :ud:

Yeah I'm not really sure what to say other than it's nearly done.. I know that isn't super useful but I don't want to give another 100% firm date until we're totally sure all the bugs are squished.

Everything is in, it's been feature locked for a while. Just stupid stuff like Arp not always triggering when it's suppose to or txt not displaying pixel accurate on some effect. Etc. Just small annoying wee bugs. There's a list of like 20 small issues.

I have been using it as my main synth for ages and it's totally stable on my system and no stability issues from our small test group.

We are about to expand to our bigger test group to get more systems tested but we don't expect too many issues.

We have about 350 factory presets with another 150 or so to come in from designers.

For example, syncing osc 2 to osc 1 and FMing 2 from 1 at the same time, osc 2 being two octaves lower than osc 1 :borg:

Can ANA 2 do that?
Oh yes.. I forgot about that and I do it with regularity.. I suppose I see it as 1 sound generated as a by product of the interaction. But you are quite right.

More hands make light work. :wink:

Are you kidding? :?

Oh wait, Recursive One beat me to it.

Must be getting close now.

Will it be cheaper to buy ANA2 as my first ANA or buy ANA(1) then upgrade or will it be esentially the same ?

How about very nearly done? :D

Yeah it's a massive pain... I really wanted it out by now but there where more bugs than we had realised.

I'm kind of a broad strokes guy and to me it was pretty much done but I passed it on to the nit pickers and they found lots of small thing that needed sorted.

We are making good progress and I'm really happy with how it sounds and feels to use. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

ANA3? getting a bit ahead of ourselves there! ;)

Yeah im sure we will do an intro price and a nice upgrade path for ANA 1 owners

Hopefully earlier than Zebra 3 :D
You may think you can fly ... but you better not try
