We’ll keep them in mind, though at this point it’s more up to interested parties within the community. We do what we can to provide a broad base, but keep in mind that we don’t have access to everything in the world either (or the cash to buy it all). We encourage guest contributions and actively pursue them regardless of whether or not people immediately volunteer, but not everyone has the time to do it. If you are intimately familiar with any of that software you mentioned, you’re welcome to propose an article. ;)

I also would like info on Kyma … so just letting you know there are at least a few of us that want opinions and info on the Kyma system (Sound Morphing being my main interest). I think you guys should also do some articles on the below listed software.

We’re working on it, and might have something later this month. No guarantees though.

This topic needs more then a week. If you are to design sounds that are new and fresh it stands to reason that building your own non-mainstream tools could be a good way to achieve that. There really isn’t a better way to meet the goal of unique sound then to dig in and design your own personalized tools. I always choose the environments that will let me easily distribute the tool I have built to the general public. The software listed above will allow you to output Vst’s and Vsti’s.

Max Reaktor and the other environments while being powerful and useful do not leave a full ownership model for redistribution through Vst, they lock you to their proprietary systems and playback engines. I prefer environments that leave me the choice to sell or give my designs to others. Vst is just about universal now so that narrows my choice to the design environments listed above.
