Bought Spectral last Xmas on the strength of just one of Simon's patches for it (Oriental Bassoon, used in his SoundCloud Tune Synth Tale), and just now managed to pick up the patch set, thanks to his Easter Sale.
Well, OBassoon is every bit as cool as I'd hoped it would be (with a player as expert as Simon doing the demos, it's easy to be seduced—and then brought back swiftly to reality when the magic turns out to be as much in HIS fingers as his sounds:).
BUT, wow. Playing through just a few more of these Spectral Excursion patches that I hadn't particularly noticed in the demos, I've had more fun at the keys than I've literally EVER had in 30+ years of amateur synth-tinkering as mostly a multi-FX-obsessed guitarist always looking for that next big headphone rush. These are simply spectacularly rich, deep, multi-layered 3D universes so easily sculpted by even these clutzy key-paws…THANK you, Simon. Unforgettable!
