I stand by my comment. It’s time, and no one can convince me otherwise. However, you’re right about East vs West, various LFO combinations, etc but in the end it’s all still very much the same process. You can replace Sampler with Signal, you can replace ADSR with AHDSR or whatever LFO combo you wish but the flow is still the same. Input signal, LFO, output signal for the oscillator, you can take that signal and feed it into another to do FM, you can take that signal and feed it through more LFO’s for that dreamscape, you can take it and send it to master to send out to speakers. The key point here is that no matter what “configuration” your synth is, these things are all the same. Attack is attack. Delay is delay. Etc. once you know what they are, what they do, tweaking them to get the sound you want is mostly trivial (bitcrushing aside)

I agree with the overall sentiment. It’s all just a bunch of functions with well defined inputs and outputs that can be combined in a delightfully endless number of configurations. None of it is nearly as complicated as it seems at first glance, and learning how to do it is a ton of fun.
