Retrologue by Steinberg

24 oscillators? What is the point of that?

If you have to ask the question you're not ready for the answer. Experience is your best teacher.

The difference between a tool and a toy is who is using it and for what.
If you insist it's a toy, then that really says more about you than it does it.

Nice try but what makes a synth a toy is its feature set regardless of who is using it.

There are sounds that other synths can make that Retrologue or DIVA simply can't because of their limited architecture.

If you don't understand that fact it says everything about you.......

100%, attitudes like that are a huge red flag when it comes to credibility. I've been hearing for decades about how "X is a toy" or "You can't use X if you're a serious musician/audio engineer", all while seeing professionals use them to make groundbreaking and beloved music. At least it's useful to help sort out the opinions worth listening to.

Sure you can use simple synths and sounds to make good music just like you can use only the color blue to make a painting but imagine what paintings you could make with all the colors of the rainbow or songs you could make with a wider range of sounds than are possible with a couple of Oscs with only a few different waveforms.

I'm done with this thread but I'll leave you with this old saying:

Simple things amuse simple minds.
