Haha, cheers, I tend to arrange that way, although just a sketch here.

Would normally use NI Massive which is great for interesting pitch modulation and swooshes etc, Used Korg MonoPoly VST here, which wouldn't be great for that stuff, with only basic LFO shapes and routing options. Reckon it's oscs are better at simpler sounds though, maybe.

Either way I need to get some hardware and live instruments. Software is destroying my soul.

I checked out your Soundcloud as well. More nice stuff!

I just can't seem to get into software synths. I guess I've been using hardware for so long, that I just miss the hands on part of touching something. Even if it's menu diving on something, I enjoy that part of it.

Cheers again! They're oldies, but goodies.

I love the efficiency of soft synths. I do a lot of duplicating of sounds to create new ones, so VSTs make for quick work flow, i reckon. I just want a bigger sound!
