I understand, and providing a user is not just picking presets, you *always* shape synth sounds to your personal preferences, it's part of making music. Few people choose all the notes they *don't* like...

Yep. I think really the reason that new synths don't really excite me that much is that, nice objects/instruments/fun though they might be, they're not really adding anything significantly different to what I can already do...
