You probably are. I messed with it back in the day, and unless it's gone through some serious overhauls since then (and open source software isn't known for "serious overhauls"), I'll stick with Harmor.

(Unless you mean something other than this)

I've never used it.  Care to tell us why you think it's better than the others?

Well, it's free, it has a ton of options for synthesis, and it has a solid preset library. But the GUI is sprawling and poorly organized, all the envelopes are ADSR-only, the additive synthesis is limited to the oscillators (in other words, it's not even close to being as versatile as Harmor), and the latest beta is from 2010.

Basically, you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the info.  I thought it was strange for the OP to just say 'hey this is better than two great synths' and not have any explanation as to why.  From my understanding Massive and Harmor are two different beasts anyways.

I would disagree that it's better than harmor. Sure it can make some cool sounds but the GUI is just straight up hideous and it makes it really tough to work with. Then again, last time I used it was when my friend convinced me to test out LMMS like 4 years ago
