But usually there just are none, no electric bass, no sax, no trumpet, no Rhodes, no piano, no rhythm guitar, no Jazz guitar, no authentic strings, nothing... Sometimes they include very remote emulations that you would not know are emulations if you were not told so But I guess they just prove that those people suck at sound programming...

I'm exactly the opposite - I like to make sounds that I've never heard before. THAT'S why I'm using synths!

IMO there are TOO MUCH emulations of real instruments in most synths. I cannot do anything with 100 presets that claim to be "guitar" but sound like one-ping-only...

Yes, because those emulations are not really authentic. If they were authentic, why should people not use them? Unless of course they are into synth-based music...

Making all new sounds is quite easy, making good emulations much more difficult. That is why they are hardly ever included in factory presets, they would take too much time and effort to program. It is much easier to program some impressive pad with filter sweep and what not...

Seriously, considering the froth of raw sewage that "music" has become, why are people worried about presets? From b____ to lil wayne, from rihanna to gaga, from pink to periphery, it all sounds like one big gigantic preset anyways.

Dance music? Sounds like one big preset. Sure there are guys like vurt, D.H. Miltz and such that are truly original but most music IS one big preset.

I know it's terribly selfish of me, but I just don't understand why it bothers someone to use a flipping preset, or a loop. Ivory towers be damned!

You wrote the name that should never be writ........but I fixed it for you

I wish someone would compile a list of all the preset threads throughout the years. Then the next time one of these happens, we can just post the links to everything that came before.

Is it OK to use this synth?

Your non-preset using, synth overlords say 'NO!"

Please, I'm scanning some omni presets right now.

You have to realize the truth is all - there is no spoon...er, synth I mean.

Do real magicians use preset illusions?

...I'm making sounds I've never heard before, and without using synths.
