Hey, MesoPhunk here, I'm the other guy in Mnemosyne.
Indeed, I don't understand why people take a fit about presets. Think about guitars. Electric guitars, generally, sound like electric guitars, there's very little distinguishing one from another in terms of overall basic sound, without getting into complications like pedals and distortion effects added on in studio mastering. So we use presets, big whoop you wanna fight about it? The point is that we write our own original material, not a shred of Dream of Flight is from anything, we created it all apart from the lyrics and vocals. The presets just happened to suit our needs, and besides, they ARE slightly tweaked in the form of dropping or raising bass or treble among other things. You think bemani artists bother with this? Nope. I have most of L.E.D. and Ryu*'s synth patches, as well as a few of kors k's.
The beauty of production is picking other patches that go well with each other, not moaning and complaining because "OHEMGEE THAT'S TOTALLY NEXUS!!!!"
