Buying cheap is buying twice.
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

I think a lot of the whining is just because there is no low-end-market polys other than vintage models. All the new stuff is rather high end and expensive with the exception of things like the DSI Tetra but that is limited in voices and UI and is still expensive for some folks. Prophet-8/12, SE Omega 8, Modulus 002, Used A6, etc - all expensive.Bitexion wrote:What do we want really? when someone releases a monosynth around $1000 ppl clamour about someone should make a polysynth too with cheap components. When someone makes a poly, and they ALWAYS cost 4-5000, everyone whines about that too.
Thus far that video is the only thing to base an opinion on. Looks cool, sounds very vanilla. If I see/hear something better, I might change my opinion.Walter Ego wrote:It's amazing how people judge a product by a few patches on an online video.Hybrid88 wrote:Yeah I'd have to agree, beautiful machine no doubt, but sonically doesn't quite do it for my money.Infinity Curve wrote:Looks cool, but sounds pretty bland.
Sample and hold to osc 2 freqmantrak wrote:But I am waiting for the poly synth that will offer sophisticated detuning possibilities. All this fantastic new synths sound too much in tune, and that makes their sound so cold and clinical. When you listen to vintage synths, it's all very detuned, and that's why we like it so much. Now that we have these super precise digital oscillators we can do whatever we like regarding tuning, with 100% control. How come nobody have thought of that, yet?
