The winner is:

That squelchy filter bit did remind me of the start of Silver Machine - I guess I just didn't imagine that you could actually control it!hfinn wrote:Most all Synthi demos don't have the Synthi playing 'musically' per say. A lot of people argue that you can't play a Synthi in a normal way and I hope this starts to show what a lie that is.
I'd heard the filters on EMS stuff were difficult to get something really useful out of, and that the EGS are quite slow. But I may be completely wrong.shaft9000 wrote:Heath, why is it do you think, that people say the Synthi is not for lead?
Is it that the VCO's in many Synthis don't track consistently across the keyboard? Do you have to scale the Synthi keyboard CV manually or often at all?
Are the ranges of the individual circuits really wide like in other modular/discrete synths?
How about the EG's? Snappy w/ relatively short times like on Mini ? ...or is it much different? (other end of scale is A6 & OB Matrix : EG's w/ the epic loooooong swell) Trapezoid gen. is one difference, i'm sure.
