Verdict: 9/10 – A sound designer’s dream with a few compromises.
If you spend more time layering 4 different basses than you do drawing wavetables, If you want instant gratification, stick with Serum.
Docked one point for the lack of granular synthesis and the slightly tedious modulation assignment process.
When Parawave Audio released Rapid in 2017, it entered a market saturated with wavetable giants (Serum, Massive X) and analog emulations (Diva, Repro). Six years later, Rapid has evolved into a unique hybrid beast. It is often described as "the synth you wish Serum had grown up to be."
