Re: hi again. has everyone gone a little soft
hi and welcome back ;) with me nothing much has changed, i still use VSTi only for samples i.e. orchestra, ethnic, acoustic drums and percussion. everything synthesis is hardware, and/or real instruments recorded like guitar, rhodes, bass etc. i still mix ITB as deadlines are always short, and total...

Re: Macbeth Proto
it has a transistor ladder filter, that can self oscillate and do sine. this is sort of a mini version of minimoog - VCO3 can be switched to LOW, send to filter or other VCOs. but there are extras: it has both individal CV IN for each VCO (!!), and individual VCO outputs. there's a lot of options wi...

Yamaha YS200 http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/htm/ys200.php So ugly I think it actually has gone full circle and now looks kinda appealing in a mad 80s toy kinda way. :lol: yesss i thought of this one soon as i saw the title of this thread. absolutely hideous. as for Roland Gaia, i don't find it ugly. ...

Re: Envelope Followers
there are circuits that act as pitch-to-CV followers. yet only a handful of synths feature this. like Korg MS-20, and Roland P/V Synth SPV-555. tracking is of course monophonic, and not dead accurate or lightning quick, but works. as for envelope followers, besides extracting the amplitude, some of ...

Re: Sequentix Cirklon pre-order!
it looks marvelous. i sincerely hope its CV implementation will be substantial. not just an after-thought. i don't really sequence midi gear when i perform anymore. only analog CV gear via Kenton Pro2000mk2 midi-cv converter, which is bloody innacurate and late soon as you have more than one track g...

Re: 2 Pole Poll Round 2
Oberheim SEM (original w CA3080) - still the best and unmatched, even by crapload of clones that emerged over the years and decades. close second is 12dB filter in Obrheim OBXa, derived from SEM circuit to acomodate CEM3320. third place would have to be a tie btwn CS-50/60/80 and Jupiter 8 looking a...
