The Native Instruments FM7 and B4 work well. You have to play some tricks to get FM7 to load different banks of presets, but you can change patches and edit them with some difficulty. B4 only has one bank of presets, but editing is about the same as FM7. I tried Absynth, but I could only get the first bank of patches to work. All of their samplers are inaccessible (you can't even load presets).

They have demos you can download and try out on their website. www.nativinstruments.com Omar Binno ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Brayton <mailto:greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 10:02 AM Subject: [ddots-l] I like it easy I can use dimension pro, and I've found some pretty nice sounds in there, but the hypersonic 2 is really much easier to use, and as Bryan has said, has lots of very good sounds. I've seen a note on the trilogy sounds like it's more like the dimension pro, in the way that you have to load it up and use it. I'm interested in hearing about the synths that are out there that are as easy to use as the hypersonic, not that I wouldn't use something else, but I like that ease of use for myself. Are there some others that opperate in the same way that come to mind? http://www.gbrayton.com
