    Ha ha, that's a repost from a long time ago. I remember because my great grandfather was an elephant. I actually downloaded it the first time to use in some thing but never found the right fit, LOL.

    Forget all the technical gimmicks and buy a wooden classical guitar or a bagpipe.
    Your neighbor will surely accompany you with a flute.

    I'm sure NI Prism is what you're looking for. Fantastic synth that unfortunately is often overlooked because it's a bit unconventional.

    There are more Reaktor synths that would probably be similar to what you're looking for, let me know if you're interested and I'll try to put a list together.

    Most of the synthesizers' sounds are unnatural and this hinders the natural flow of music. Unfortunately people worship synthesizers and it's like praising the devil.:dunno:

    You do understand that synthesizer is more or less literally defined as a non-natural sound don't you? As far as the early synth pioneers were concerned that was entirely the point of it. If you would have used the Buchla synthesizer to create "natural" sounds he would have punched you.
    As would Wendy Carlos, and if you call her work unmusical I will probably punch you.
    Metaphorically, of course. I'm not being serious about that.

    With your statement you have finally disqualified yourself as an idiot.

    I believe that you meant "qualified" as an idiot.
