Done a search on this, didn't find much.

Anyone got it, rate it, want it?

all i can say after watching the promotion video is that its not an additive synth.
its just 2 osc. one is waveshape between saw to square and the other is pulse.

if you want additive look at camel audio or audio damage websites.
if want one with waveshaping options, look at z3ta+, much less limited than this one (i think also rhino has waveshaping, cant remember).

Isn't it Additive? From what they say in the tutorial videos I've seen they say whilst they (the oscillators) are shown side by side, they effect each others waveforms rather than exist alongside each other.

I may be wrong I am new to this synthesis lark..

I'll check out your recommendations.

Intuitive and easy enough to make the sounds you want?

there are some of the best software synths ever designed in the Reaktor library already.

No doubt, I just cant afford the 379 euro this is far more affordable.

if you look in the right places you can get a reaktor license for around €99

NI sold Kore licences super cheap and there were a load of people selling off their Reaktor licenses cheaply at that time.

Maybe look for a used Reaktor 5 license (kvraudio.com market place, ebay, etc). Or maybe wait until NI do another deal (they seem to do a major deal once a year).

Reaktor is the best VST you can buy IMO.
