Synthedit

So I recently got Synthedit. Apparently I'm getting into it pretty late. It seems that all the links and posts on the internet are from 2007. For my first project I'm making a Moog Rogue clone. I've also gathered from the internet that a Moog clone is the stereotypical first VST everyone makes in Synthedit. Oh well.

So far it's been hard to balance making a true clone of the rogue with all it's limitations or make a double ADSR, three oscillator Rogue from hell. I'm staying true but overcoming the Rogue's obvious limitations. If you own one you know them by heart:

• Shared Waveform switch for both oscillators
• Shared Octave switch for both oscillators
• Pitch wheel tunes +/- 6th or something

It's also making me question user interfaces. Why on earth should any soft synth have a knob? I ironically came to the oposite conclusion about hardware. Why should any hardware synth have a slider? Knobs feel so much better. All sliders do is get dirty and you're lucky if you can find a replacement.
