music software advice

So next year I may be getting some extra money to update my
gear. I currently am running Live on a Mac, and I have a
Waldorf Q, an old ASR-X Pro and some other assorted drum
machines etc. When I bought the Q I was pretty into purist
electronic stuff but that has changed.

What I am interested in is some sort of software sampler
that has pretty advanced patch building options and a visual
interface. I would like to be able to sample found sounds
(voices, drones, etc) and be able to visually draw envelopes
to bend, morph, blend, etc with synth patches and other
found sounds. Something that had granular features would be
a plus.

Has anyone seen or used something like this and have any
recommendations? I know I can look on the internet but I'm
interested in peoples experience.

Whatever wMw uses, which sounds like MS Paint with an audio
plugin.

is that Metasynth? I've always wanted to mess with that as
well as Architechture. I know a guy who knows a guy who was
involved in developing both of those.

Yeah get Reaktor 5. It will do what you're asking for, plus
a lot that you can't even imagine. You'll probably want to
build your own instruments instead of using the ones
installed by default - I find them unnecessarily complex,
show offy and fiddly, and they don't suit my creative
process. Expect to spend a month or two of evenings and
weekends learning it. I can point you towards a few simple
and good sounding patches to get you started.

just as fleetmouse said, if you spend the time to learn
Reaktor 5 you can do anything imaginable with electronic
music. I would HIGHLY suggest it, the learning curve is
somewhat steep but it will pay off highly. Not to mention
that it comes with a bunch of awesome synths/sample
transformers/groove box's that you can use right when you
get it.

Pure Data can do a lot with samples, it has visual envelopes
and it free which is a big plus.

Puredata is excellent for advanced tinkerers but nowhere
near as immediately usable as Reaktor. If you get Reaktor
and download JWH's samplers from the user library you're all
set for sample manipulation in your favorite host sequencer.
