You have differents gui and you can make you're own

I'm not talking about the colors, and I'm not sure how you can make your own.

Congratulations to this magnum opus, Vojtec!

Obviously ths is a sound designer's wet dream and an instrument with extra all. So far, so good.

Having downloaded the demo with all 2500 (really?) presets, I've started sniffing around. Not being a sound designer at all – I almost exclusively use presets and at the most tweak them to suit the purpose – I was looking for sounds that appeal to me.

I found a few, but I also found many more that sounded just like any synth and a fair number that reminded me of a 1990s Casio toy keyboard. A mixed bag, to phrase it mildly.

I think that for MPowerSynth to become a long run success, you need to sign up a number of the top tier sound designers to create profile banks – guys like Howard Scarr, Joseph Hollo, Simon Stockhausen and many others who have the knack of navigating complex technology to come up with amazing, playable sounds.

Just look at how Serum has attracted some of the designer stars, who have managed to lay to rest the initial impression that Serum is 'cold' or 'harsh'.

I'm not saying that there're not a number of amazing sounds in MPowerSynth already, but they're (IMHO) far to few among far to many duds.

So, I'm not buying at this point, in spite of the current attractive price, until I see where this impressive synth is heading soundbank-wise.

I have to agree! As a sound designer, I have to say that the average quality of the presets in the release FAR understates the capabilities of this synth. I've managed to coerce some pretty amazing sounds from MPS and I was hoping to see the equivalent or better, but I suppose that's just the result of the motivation behind the creation of most of these patches...

Historically, synths come out with some signature patches that are unique and differentiate it from other synths; it's what motivates people like Spitfire31, who aren't patch programmers, to buy a synth. I have to agree with him that there's very little to promote that inclination in the current set.

I don't create commercial patch banks, but I''m pretty sure it won't be long before those who do start turning on to MPS and come up with some great sounds for it. They won't have to work very hard to improve what's already there... but I'm hoping they'll work harder.

This is probably the most pure sounding digital synth I have ever heard.

Congrats!! Cool synth .

I totally agree with everyone on the pre-sets, it doesn't matter how many you have, its the quality, and most of those presents sound like someone has hit random. Once you find a gem, you can hear what will be possible with this synth which has excellent potential...but in this ADD age, people will try it for about 5 minutes (there is soooo much new stuff competing for time....) and if it doesn't grab them, they move on- which will be a shame.

Its so new, so many ideas and differences it needs designers to take a little time, I would suggest you need 50 world class presents loading first to really show off what this synth can do....

And now there is the first preset pack available for it
