Same here. I just want sample content to use in my own patches and the presets are an added bonus.This has been a slight problem for me - where I buy an expansion and then realize it's mostly loops, and like full pre-made musical loops/musical sequences (Atmospherica 2, Dystopia, Melancholia). I can't use those things, or at least my brain doesn't like them and I struggle with using them in my music. I prefer playable presets, and multi-samples that I could use to create my own presets.
As an update on my purchase of the Synthwave 3 expansion, I am very pleased with the included sample content. There are a ton of great samples that are just what I was looking for and many are from some of the hardware I grew to love back in the day including a few from Ensoniq.
The samples layer really well with a VA Osc. Lots of fun and I've really just scratched the surface of what this expansion can bring. For the record I don't expect any sample package from any company to be 100% to my liking, that's not realistic. As long as there is enough content I do like that makes the purchase a good value then I'm happy and SW3 certainly fits that criteria.
So while this expansion has given me the confidence to purchase the rest of the Synthwave collection it was still just blind luck. I could have just as easily been disappointed based on the lack of a detailed written explanation of the sample content. If a customer is disappointed in a purchase then that's going to generate negative feelings towards the company, human nature 101. Again more product information would benefit both the consumer and the company.
So with that in mind I would still like a detailed text list of the sample content contained in an expansion and I don't think it would be that much of an effort. Certainly not as hard as making a demo video.
In my opinion it is a reasonable request for a product to have a detailed description and it's certainly not something that should be dismissed into the "distant future".
At any rate Avenger has become my favorite synth to patch and is in my top 2 all around favorite synths sound wise so I'll be using it with great pleasure for as long as I'm on this side of the dirt...........
