Modulus 002 --- new synth from UK

[pflosi]

Someone manufactures something for cheap: "Price is exactly right here but why do those knobs feel so shitty?"
Someone manufactures something high quality: "LOL I can buy cheapo piece X, Y, and Z for that $."

Buying cheap is buying twice.

Looks cool, but sounds pretty bland.

i havent seen anything on a synth that looks as breakable as their itty bitty joystick
i hope it lasts longer than it looks like
wasnt the stick the 2nd thing to go on most VSes after aftertouch? and that at least looked a little more robust

Yeah I'd have to agree, beautiful machine no doubt, but sonically doesn't quite do it for my money.

Looks like the designer is over at Gear Cunts answering questions. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/electron ... 2-a-6.html

It's amazing how people judge a product by a few patches on an online video. Sounds powerful to me, and with a nifty output for each voice individually.

I never trust videos from product specialists or designers. I have nothing against them, they just have different aims. In the hands of an early 80s Roland rep, a JP-6 would probably sound bland and boring.

Cool product, and if the sound and functionality are there, it's worth every penny.

Gear Cunts

Nailed it.

[Dr. Phibes]

Makes you f**k proud to be British that does!



But seriously, I do quite like the sound of it despite the fact I'm unlikely to encounter one any time soon at that price.

I'm talking about tone quality, and yes you can judge that from those demo's.

That tired argument might hold weight if it was a 240p YT video, but it's not. Sure it may not be perfect quality but they're quite good enough to tell between a schmidt and one of these. If you can't I'd suggest a new pair of ears might be in order

True but that's the quality of the programming not the tone of the machine.

It's gotta be a step up from the British made Dark Star, I would think..

[moremagic]

if were talking british built synths, technically speaking, aint putneys still in production? one every five years or something like that

[Jabberwalky]

Novation is British.

[tomorrowstops]

Don't I remember history telling me all the super cool synths of yesteryear were priced as such? Maybe even higher with regards to inflation?

Pro Gear, Pro Attitude.

I kind of tuned out once he likened it to a PRS guitar.

[joeboy]

I liked what I heard.
