These sounds are stuck in the early nineties - how depressing.

You can adjust every aspect of every parameter of any sound you want.

Can you give us an idea what you were expecting?

Are there examples of synth bass sounds you feel aren't available? What kinds of sounds were you hoping for? I'm truly trying to understand how these sounds are "stuck in the nineties."

The variety on offer is truly stunning to me. Almost too much, almost over-stimulating. The subtle number of different variations on how you can shape a synth bass... I could explore all of these textures for hours when I really should get back to work composing and arranging.

Please explain further. I'm trying to understand what's missing for you.
