I understand what they're going for, but as a company that (in my brain at least) was built on physical modeling, not launching your modular synth with all the guts of your physical modeling synths, past and present, available as modules, is crazy to me. Having tassman stall out right after I bought it really just sort made me skeptical of AAS. I really like modular environments from reaktor to pure data to VCV to supercollider. I am a big fan of being able to just make something if I can't find it implemented in something I own or that's available. I'm more getting to the point where I don't really believe that there are many developers who are actually pushing the envelope with DSP and I already have amazing tools every which way. "Virtual Euro rack" is also a pretty crowded market and I'm not seeing anything in cv-2 (ultra low CPU, ultra nice sound, lots of cool physical models, really flexible but simple handling of buffers) that give me an inkling of it being the bees' knees'.
How does cv-2 handle feedback paths? That's a place where many many modular setups on the computer fall down or restrict things to a full buffer of latency rather than having a specific "feedback module" that adds a unit delay. I'd think that AAS would have a good grasp on coding efficient complex feedback networks with many interacting parts in a reasonably efficient manner.
Does it have a nice buffer module that can be forced into granular playback or insane multi tap delays. Does it treat all signals equally during processing without having to differentiate at all between digital (gate/trigger), control (low frequency/DC) and audio? I'm sure it's capable of lots of fun things. The plugin world is amazing and I'm stoked to have access to all this stuff.
The marketing of this doesn't even make me want to demo it alongside VCV or the grid or even soft I've modular (which I kind of consider a waste of money). I'm sure I'll get bored enough to try it out one day and maybe it will blow my socks off. That's what happened to me with zebra....
