It's definitely a weird synth. In terms of usage I can't see it fulfilling any particular role for me, personally.
As for Sumu, I'll have to try the demo myself but the audio demos have been very meh. Even at the intro price. Is the pricing set by how much development time he put into it ? Because the end product isn't, to my ears, sounding like it should be commanding the flagship price ($180 full price) of the madronalabs lineup. YMMV.
Any kind of musical patches are probably better achieved using something else.
But, it really is one of the most fascinating plugins I've ever used. It really produces some really really weird sounds.
I agree with others that say that it needs more bread and butter functionality to make it more practical as something you'd reach for on a regular basis. A few extra envelopes, LFOs and/or inverter/attenuator style additions would be great.
It feels a little too wild at the moment.
But I really am kind of in love with it all the same!
