Modulus 002 --- new synth from UK
Wow, just wow...
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Sounds really good, but not particularly daring in its specs. That screen is really nice though.

$5200 USD? Uhmmm.... Excuse me, but I am currently under the impression that the DSI Prophet 12 will give me the same (if not more) functionality and sound for less than half that. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
Comparison is the thief of joy.

What's an Andy go for these days? More than this will be new I reckon. Sounds pretty nice, not to sure about the industrial design but hey, that's a personal taste thing.

They're still in the $3500-4500 range on the used market.Stab Frenzy wrote:What's an Andy go for these days? More than this will be new I reckon. Sounds pretty nice, not to sure about the industrial design but hey, that's a personal taste thing.

Re: Modulus 002 --- new synth from UK
Around $3K vs $5K actually. But it sounds like they're going for full-on pro quality. It's the first modern-looking display I've seen...pretty much ever. Most guys here complain about quality of things like Blofeld encoders, Moog MIDI implementation, DSI software, cheap Minibrute knobs, etc. This just shows what it costs if you want full-on top notch quality. Then again it could turn out to be flaky as h**l!Stab Frenzy wrote:What's an Andy go for these days? More than this will be new I reckon.

Very nice. It was about time for more high quality polys.

Different synth, different developers, much smaller company than DSI.Kenneth wrote:$5200 USD? Uhmmm.... Excuse me, but I am currently under the impression that the DSI Prophet 12 will give me the same (if not more) functionality and sound for less than half that. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
People are always shouting how they want new poly analogs to be developed and released, and then when one is finally released the negativity starts.
I for one am happy a company, especially a small company like this would take a chance on manufacturing a polyphonic analog synth.
Even the big boys such as Korg have shied away from it because of the cost it takes to make one, and because it's still an unknown if enough will sell to make it profitable.
I was part of the 3 year long Solaris investment as an early pre-order and lived through all the setbacks, delays, andcosts that John and we as investors had to deal with.
JB kept all of us fully updated via emails through the whole process and believe me the thing was an absolute nightmare at times for him and us as well.
It's not easy as a small company to get something like this manufactured, so my hats off to these guys.
I wish them great success, and competition can only make things better for all of us by giving us a choice, and if successful give the larger companies such as Korg a reason to jump into the poly analog field.
btw, we both have Voyagers and thought nothing of spending thousands on a mono synth.
