Patch comments & synth question

> Joel - what made you think of pitch shifting _DronePad_ down three > octaves? You're twisted ;-) - in a good sort of way! There was no idea behind it... it was just a "tweak of the knob" I guess it just didn't have 'the sound' at '0' ;) It's not a perfect patch... but i guess it's kinda hard to get "THE" sound you want from a synth that only has 2 osc's with 2 waves that you can trim down to sine and to be frank; the VCF isn't very 'musical' either, nor extreme in it's settings... Am i being overly perfectionistic now? :] Now then, to start off a new interesting musical debate: What would you consider an ideal synth for the sounds you like, and why? For me: it's a 3 oscillator synth with all imaginable waveforms (saw, triangle, pulse, ehr.. ramp? (isn't this a pulse with PWM btw?), sine, reverse triangle, reverse saw) that are all syncable to eachother (so that the harmonics can be VERY complex and 'unusual') and with that a noise oscillator with many noisecolors - that is syncable to the oscillators too. And then: a very 'musical' VCF and VCA with *large* settings... (how much is the maximum? theoretically? or what is reasonable, musically?) Other than that i haven't really figured out what i want yet.... Joel
