Seriously, if Steve Duda made his own DAW, I'd be interested to see how he could innovate with that type of software. Who's with me?

Who thinks Steve should make an FM synth? I'd love to see that. To see visually what is happening with the waveform like he has done here, but with FM stuff, would be amazing. And going from the theme of Serum, I can already imagine what it would look like.
As a completely separate topic: I compared the playback engines of Sytrus, Massive & Serum. I basically played back a sawtooth at an incredibly high frequency (E10) with a frequency analyser open. And even when Sytrus is at the highest quality (x64 oversampling and HQ envelopes enabled), Massive still beats it and Serum beats Massive (slightly) with Serum's oscillator settings being 2x with the maximum being 4x. Massive was set to ultra. The aliasing on Sytrus was embarrassing compared with Massive and Serum.
Not only that, but Sytrus was also the worse in terms of CPU usage inside FL Studio (which itself doesn't handle plugins well in terms of CPU) despite being the worse sound quality.
With Massive, Serum and Sytrus open, without doing anything, my CPU fluctuated between 1 and 2%. When Sytrus was playing, it fluctuated between 6 and 7%. When Massive was playing, it fluctuated between 3 and 4%. And when Serum was playing, it stayed at 2% (at 4x, now and then it would move to 3%).
As good as Sytrus is along with Imagine Lines plug-ins, in terms of what you can do and plug-in power, the sound is generally low quality and uses up way more CPU than it should. I have seen you talk about how everything that other plugins can do, you can do within FL Studio's native stuff. Although true, the sound quality is just bad. And the CPU usage is also just bad.
It is the biggest drawback when comparing Image Line's stuff with other companies.
I am not hating - I love Imagine Line. It was the first DAW I encountered and I still use it all the time. This is me just giving my constructive criticism. It is something I believe Imagine Line should take into account.

This synth is basically everything now.

this guy has created the vst that will probably replace massive

Hi SeamlessR, Just found your channel. This video is really a eye opener. Thanks for sharing this

36:18 he said he "stumbled upon the source" to Dimension Expander made by "some third party guy" but all I could find was a KVR thread talking about how it works and Steve promoting his version of Dimension Expander. Does anyone have the source he's talking about or a link to it?

I think this is the most awesome synth I have ever used..

2:55 "It wasn't sort of like Oh let me make something that competes head-to-head with massive", but still you made something way better than massive: the (almost) perfect Subtractive Wavetable Synthesizer.
I know it's a little late but congratulations to your success, Steve!
