One quibble with the article: If you really want a perfect playground for learning synthesis, U-he's Zebra 2 is much better than Diva (also by U-he). Zebra is fantastic when it comes to workflow and flexibility and has a UI that makes how the patches signal flow works much clearer. I have a boatload of both eurorack and softsynths, but when I want to get some stuff done in a hurry, or on the move, or just prototype, I always wind up reaching for Zebra. Not surprising that even Hans Zimmer is a fan, and that guys physical collection is astounding. If you told me I had to produce music with nothing but Zebra 2 and a sequencer, I could live with that. :-)
