Is MSoundFactory by MeldaProduction the sound-designers wet-dream? / Why should I not buy it?

I'm STILL wondering WTF I could ever do in the Bitwig Grid without following many highly detailed step-by-step guides and learning to decipher a host of strange words and concepts. It looks to me like a scaled down but no more obvious version of Max. Which I see from other posts from you in other threads you've got long experience with:)

I'm not a coder, never built anything in Reaktor cause it is too arcane and wouldn't have the first clue how to use Max.

I've had no trouble doing stuff in Bitwig's Grid. It's easy. Never had to do any tutorials or step by step guides to do lots of basic stuff. I built some synths the very first time I used it.

There is an excellent help guide... drag a module into the Grid or select any module already in the Grid and in the inspector click Show Help. It will pull up help guide in a window with the live module which can be tweaked right in the help window. Best help I've seen.

Drag an Osc, a Filter, an Envelope and an Audio Out into the empty Grid. If you drop the filter onto the Osc output it auto-wires itself. Do the same for the Env to the Filter and the Audio Out to the Env. Now play a note on your midi keyboard and you got a synth. Want 2 Osc's, add a second Osc and a Mixer to mix the two Osc's before going to the Filter. Could hardly be easier.

And of course there are a number of ready made presets to explore. It's the easiest to use modular system I have come across.

Thanks, that's encouraging, despite the fact that none of the demo vids I've watched so far made much sense to me. Hasn't put me off my fascination with the whole BW package, just slowed me down a bit. When the Grid does MIDI Out, I'll be much more tempted! Meanwhile, there's MUCH to do in MSF:)

thanks for all the feedback. I demoed MSF the last days and I come more and more to the conclusion I don't need it. however since there is the three month free subscription I will test more.
