Yep, maybe it could be regarded as an electronic ecosystem. Then, just like any old self-contained modular. Buchlas and their Sources of Uncertainty blah blah...Automatic Gainsay wrote: Mooger5: I could believe that VCS3 was the most organic.

It's the same old never ending argument.
"My synth has a bigger ORGAN-ic sound than yours."

It's the same never-ending response.
"Nothing is better than anything else. Everything is the same. We're all the same. Everything we do is the same."
It's easy to reduce an assessment of quality OR an assessment of desirability to a pissing match... and while it is sometimes a pissing match, that doesn't negate the fact that quality exists, and the average of people can agree on what defines it.
That being said, "organic" is in no way an indicator of quality. No one is saying organic is best, and anyone who jumps to the conclusion that that's what is being said here says more about their own psychology than anything else.

My point exactly! By the way, I thought your description of "organic" was very good. I understand now, though I still don't think it's a very good word to use.Automatic Gainsay wrote:That being said, "organic" is in no way an indicator of quality.

the 'resynthesis' takes analysis of the sample and breaks it down into re-programmable harmonic and dynamic components. you modify these oscillators='resynators' using Control Spheres which act like 4-way vector sticks a la wavestation and the signal routing between them can be modified as well. most of the modulation and filtering is done via the Silver section...wicked EGs and a RingMod to die for.balma wrote:shaft9000 wrote:who needs organic when there's orgasmic
What can you say about your Hartmann?
isn't it an "A.I." sampler or something alike???? je je
It has the tendency to sound totally insane faster than any other digital synth I've used, V-Synth included. It also sounds bigger and 'warmer' (but not necessarily more ORGANIC

Love it, bugs and all. It's a real CPU hog!
