I’m actually feeling quite positive towards Mike Greene, VI Control’s head honcho. He mostly remains neutral, which surely can’t be easy (also because he’s a dev himself, but he’s candid about that).
I’m actually pretty pleased with UVI updating Digital Synsations 1, as those four synths are sample (and wavetable) based, which is where UVI reigns supreme. Sampling romplers and other samples-driven synths also seems more logical than sampling purely oscillator driven ones.
