Spectrasonics can do some pretty amazing modular stuff too, but H5 is ( I wouldn’t say overkill either, but) mind-blowing, and a bit hard to digest at once. I can’t wait for the day when I can breeze thru it and comprehend every detail.
I agree though, it is so powerful… I imagine the presets have been carried over from earlier versions, maybe updated for compatibility?
When it comes to flex phrase, though, it’s kinda beat oriented which takes it into subjective/per genre territory, so it can be hard to fit into your music, but that all depends of course. I’m actually most interested in hybrid instruments that have wild morphs and transitions, but still sound like classic instruments. So my focus is all on trigger, layer alt, and KS. For a dumb artist like me, it’s gonna take time
