Am I the only one who does not give a shit about Serum? I always prefer synths with a bit more character, and a specific workflow.

Not a knock against Serum, it's a well-made plugin, but how kitchen sink its feature set is makes it hard to be creative with it. I think I'll stick with Arturia Pigments 2 and AAS Ultra Analog VA-3.

Also, as much as I love Massive, the UI is a complete mess, and Massive X is....well, pretty disappointing.

@FreyaManibrandr I think this is why we always liked working with famitracker; the limitations make it less overwhelming, and working within/around limits is fun

@Felthry I also have been finding myself playing around with IMperfect, it's a simple 2-osc with 1 sample slot synth, but what makes this synth particularly nice is the inclusion of 3 analog imperfection sliders to add character like tape wobble, analog voltage interference, and tape drive, and it has one effect, Delay. Easy to dial in sounds.

I would have liked features like FM and hard Sync, but hey, subtractive synthesis is also nice.

@FreyaManibrandr That's interesting! I don't know what "2-osc with one sample slot" means but I like the tape wobble and stuff

@Felthry 2 tone generators that produce the typical bleeps and bloops like sine waves, pulse waves, and saw waves, and then you can load an audio sample as a 3rd tone generator

@FreyaManibrandr oh I see! one PCM channel and two function generator channels
