Why? Do you think they are unaware of people's issues? They aren't stupid, I'm sure they talk to customers all the time. Surely you can see by now that you are not their target market, that they don't care what you have to say if it doesn't align with the users they see as their core customers? Companies cannot be all things to all people, they have to pick and choose who they can and cannot look after properly.zerocrossing wrote: Wed Jul 19, 2023 4:03 am I’m trying to consolidate all the complaints of NI plugins here. The idea is to then all get together and send the link to anyone we can at NI.

I read your "open letter" and, honestly, 90% of what you had to say is completely irrelevant to me and my needs. The reasons I have not so much as listened to Massive X demos has nothing to do with what you wrote there. For me it is mostly a matter of price. So if NI spent 10,000 man hours implementing everything you listed, I still wouldn't bother listening to any of the demos. In fact, I'd likely be less inclined to. OTOH, if they halved the price I might actually have a look at it. Which seems like a less risky strategy to you?
I wasn't complaining at all, simply pointing out that there are different ways of interpreting behaviours, any of which maybe valid. And updates aren't always improvements. e.g. I stopped using Hive after the update to v2 because it became too unwieldy and the workflow was measurably worse. I went back to v1.2 for a while but eventually just gave up on it, until I recently discovered the Swarn skin.gentleclockdivider wrote: Wed Jul 19, 2023 8:27 pmThere is stuff happening that is not made public yet , but yeah keep on complaining about a developer that keeps updating stuff .
Now, you might argue that adding a wavetable oscillator has to be an improvement but, in the wider sense, if you already have 3 or 4 wavetable synths with which you are thoroughly familiar, why do you need another one? It just complicates an already fairly complex synth for no wider benefit.
It's a great example of something I have noticed beta testing for Synapse, and that is the way that most beta teams are made up primarily of the so called "sound designers" who will make the factory patches, so what you get is a synth that is being designed for those guys, not for musicians or producers who are actually trying to make music. It's a case of the tail wagging the dog and it ruins perfectly good synths from time to time.
