I cannot decide between Ace or Bazille

Ah! I knew that idea was missing... something. **Ponders deeply, grumbling back to HIVE**

Not bad, Dave! The analogy doesn't quite hold up, though, as the map only contains a recipe while the waveform directly describes the air pressure.

Get ACE and a copy of Computer Music ( hard copy or online copy) as it also includes a cut down Bazille (2 OSC, 1 filter) { as well as other synths and effects} which will get you going.

Nothing overly fancy... right-clicking the Mapping Generator to create a waveform from a spectrum.

Great news!
Is there an estimated release date?

(p.s. still waiting for Howard's cookbook)

(psst... I made the mistake of using a feature or two - throughout the soundset and book! - that will only work in the next Bazille update. So I'm sorry to say that the Cookbook will have to wait until then)

perks up!! new Bazille features??

By my count, there are four words in one sentance
that count for 'fancy', if the code were described even
in terms the drummer and guitarist
might wink and nod at.

Yep! This is good advice, especially if you are asking the question in the first place. Bazille is fantastic, but if you're coming at it from a VA perspective, it's not as good a VA synth as ACE is. This will give you the more straightforward synth to use for VA sounds and give you plenty of FM synth power to really get grounded in Bazille's oscillators.
