I would be on your side if CLAP-synth was chosen when there was no Ildaeil wrapper that allows you to use Apricot in any DAW. And Apricot has powerful built-in modulators. As I said above, many virtual studios have their own powerful unique advantages that make them superior to others in certain parameters. But the main thing is that each of us this month got the opportunity to create our own music using an amazing synthesizer and present it in the best community in the world!
The next one may be a synthesizer in which little is modulated, or other that, with incredible modulation capabilities, will be a piece of shit, or another that will not work for a third of the participants, or (ohoho, how unfair) another Hardware month. Last month I would have had to change the OS if I wanted to enter, in #167 not every DAW had a built-in synthesizer, again an injustice... Everyone can take part in this month, and everyone even has a choice between a free DAW with direct access to CLAP, or a familiar DAW with a slight limitation in the form of unavailability of external modulation, but everyone can take part!
So I just urge you to remember that one of the main qualities of OSC is the ability to inspire musicians to be creative, and the fact that this is basically a difficult challenge and not an easy walk is one of the main inspiring factors!
Let's be inspired by the possibilities, accept the shortcomings as they are, and make the best music we will be capable of this month!
