What do you mean by modern styles? Maybe I'm out of the loop but to me, my Jupiter-6 sounds more cutting edge than the P8 demos I've heard.DIGITAL SCREAMS wrote: The A6 and Prophet 08 are fresh sounding analog poly's.

Its lovely to have nostalgia.....buts its really hard to cut records with it.
Hooray, that is good news. i got one of the old ones, but recently a friend played it several times, went nuts over it, and now really wants to buy a one now. told her to wait till i find out if the "Death Batch" is really over and past us.amni wrote:as stated above the problem has gone my A6 is 2007 batch and is fine
Just use modern audio processing tools and methods. The P'08 sounds wonderful with Logic 8's chorus, Auto Filter, and reverbs.The A6 and Prophet 08 are fresh sounding analog poly's.

So you are saying that P08 is sounding far better than A6 only because you had an A6 for a while... You said it's deep... so "a while" means nothing more than scrolling through the preset which everybody knows and claim that are 90% ugly and made only to hype the A6 as an "anti-Virus" synth.goldphinga wrote:Well, ive just reviewed the po8 for a music mag and i have to say its one of the best sounding polys ive played. It holds its own next to my memorymoog though its a little smaller sounding thankfully!
The dco vs vco argument does not stand up with the po8 as it sounds so good in person.
It shimmers, the filter is wide and bright with an amazing range and the quality of sound is just stunning. I had an a6 for a while and though very deep its sound quality is nowhere near the po8. My 2 cents!
the achilles heel of the po8 is its interface which is fiddly and a bit confusing for adding mod quickly and knowing where your sounds are at without looking at the display is impossible.
cant have everything though!

Nothing against the P08... I hope I'll buy one soon or later... but why not sitting down in front of an A6. Initializing a sound... and trying to understand that the A6 in not only deep... but it has a lenght and an height too...My 2 cents !
doesn't a6 have that same sizzle in it's sounds? i played it several years ago and have listened to many demos lately and it seems to be a common quality of a6 also.mao wrote:goldphinga,
All the pads, strings and brass have that "sizzle". You can call it it's "color", "prophet sign" but as said it's only a taste point of view.
