hahaha...that attitude...legendary for sure :D Great coder though!

crazy shit! :clap:
Thanks!

This isn't everything in the preset, but here a few things I used on it:

Time Lag on the insert, and the left/right settings each have a different LFO as mod source, modulated the morph of "PWM Complex 4" I had in the one osc I used (with "Chaos Phase" turned up a bit), and modulating the Comb's filter cutoff and feedback with separate LFOs also.

Some reverb and bit of the trancegate effect was added too.

One should always take into account that they're bombed with crazy comments from 14-year old wannabe's on a daily basis. Since years! That's even harder to stand than KVR comments which - though - come close to it. :hihi:

Last but not least: There's a very good reason why IL one day started to publish their comic strips. 8)

Ow i know. I like it when a company doesn't take itself too serious at times. When it is needed to be serious, they always are/were. But a good laugh, or some harsh stuff (GOL :x ) about crazy nonsens, is healthy, imho. :tu:

AT, Channel Pressure, MPE, Sustain Pedal and all that MIDI specific stuff will be addressed in a minor update. It won't be announced as big feature, but depending on priority it will be added bit by bit. Not every customer has polyphonic AT or the ROLI Seaboard with MPE. It's a bit rare, so the priority there is lower then, let's say wavetable import.
Very cool and smooth stuff. Some people ITT should give it a listen and cool down a bit :lol:

Currently building and packaging a "Release Candidate" for a last test sessions.

MPE is rar, but i think AT have a lot of users, it's integrated in push and every higher priced midi keyboard controller. AT makes most presets from avenger living. On my opinion AT and Sample / WT import are the most missing features compared to avenger. I was waiting for Avenger to demo and now i think rapid is for me the bether option, the work flow is excelent. I'll take time to compare these two synths till the end of this month and i think i am sure that i'll only buy rapid.
My main problem is that the demo is with these few presets very limited, on the other hand i was more focused to build own sounds. But I am not in EDM / Trance and i am a bit afraid that the factory library isn't my topic.

I think it is kinda weird Rapid is being compared to Avenger all the time. Yeah, they were released around the same time and they both use WT synthese, but they are so different; in use, in sound, in the looks, in the footprint on a computer...

I find using them both for different stuff, with different results.

They are both great tools in their own right imho.

The good thing is that you can filter/split midi channels and could create some MPE ready patches this way!
The bad thing is.....there is still no macOS version i could try.
I would be very interested to see how well it plays with my Seaboard Rise.
Indeed is that also a big plus over Dune 2 since it doesn´t let me split midi channels on different layers.
Please bring it on before the sale ends!

Wicked, can't wait to try it

You need to rethink your priorities, sustain pedal and aftertouch are essential for all keyboard players, not just 'rare' cases - you are demonstrating some worrying unfamiliarity with the needs of musicians here.

Lol,,i am a keyboard player and i don't care at all about AT and SP's. WT and wave import are way more important to me 8)

I don't even have aftertouch on my keyboard controller, so it isn't essential to me.

Sustain is though and AT (channel at least) is certainly not rare and much used. Sustain is just basic - to leave it out is ludicrous.

MPE and polyphonic AT aren't that common, and that is what the dev was saying. I'd rather see wt and wave import being added, then any of the midi-input additions. It does at least modwheel :) :tu:
