Hehe, first post? Well, on this forum! I know you from other forums as well, such as DSI and Jomox (where I am jus a Lurker). And since I am active on this forum I can tell you that I really like the music that you two guys make.
(and the mastering of a certain magazine sucked, your original music was better iirc + imho)
I was once intersted in the Hardsid, I downloaded the editor and it was terrible. If I remember correctly, making polypatches was the horror, as you had to edit every osc at once, including the wavatable settings...
Also the support seems to be terrible of those guys.
