Aha, yes, I think that will do it. I do a lot of hard and soft synth programming but the added complication is that you have to program I/O and a user interface. It's not beyond me. I will peruse the manuals first. Of course loading a preset and tweaking is an easy way to get started.
i find the Eclipse interface pretty easy and straightforward. This is clearly more but I also am thinking long term. I like starting with real instruments and processing them. I'm less and less a fan of paint by numbers synths like Alchemy and Omnisphere that come with samples after someone did the sound design. I want my own.
I personally think some time investment might be worth it. The Eclipse is paying offf for me. Best piece of gear I have. So with time investment I expect so much more from the H8000.
