- doesn't even have a decent LCD? I have to dive thu three-digit LED display Displays require more programming. There's a good reason they're skimped on, even if this sucks completely. - no onboard effects, whereas eg. Yamaha AN1x has lots of them The general argument against this is : - dedicated ...

sadly, the answer is none. Yet. that's a big reason we'll never get software to sound just like hardware, especially vintage hardware. The weakest part in the emulation chain is not the audio interface. Not the code. Not the CPU. It's your ears. Once you can no longer hear the difference - and that...

In this case it's really the one and only LatelyBass/SolidBass. Another hint is the velocity sensitivity, and the envelopes; the DX has exponential envelopes which is ideal for snappy sounds.

You hear 2 sounds - an upfront higher-pitched part and another part an octave lower.

Hope someone clones them.

If there's nobody stepping up to the job, it's time to learn about analog electronics yourself. Chips are miniaturized circuits; if you can recreate the circuits on a bigger board, the only problem is size.

Right?

How would i become a Substractive Synthesis Wizard? Tweak systematically. Start from an init patch. Go listen to all the combinations of 2 oscillators - check what each waveform does. Then, detune oscillator 2 12 semitones up. Repeat listening to the waveforms combinations; so you know what a osc 1...

Everything from Native Instruments. Massive is awesome. Also, U-He Zebra. Also, Rob Papen's stuff.

To supplement: any decent major softsynth manufacturer has OS X versions and any decent major softsynth manufacturer should have a demo on the site. Go start your downloading engines.

what type of genres of music you'd say the synth would work more for? Electronic stuff. I'd say it's Yamaha's answer to the Roland XP-30 with a nudge to the groovebox crowd. What are the major differences and similarities between the type of sounds that the N264 and N364 produces? I think there's n...

Oscillator 1: square/pulse. Oscillator 2: saw. Oscillator 3: squarewave, -12 semitones. Single filter, PPG model, keep the envelopes simple and use that as a basis - it's a Juno-106, then. Another: Oscillator 1: wavetable. Oscillator 2: whatever it does, it should copy what 1 does. Again, single PPG...

Next time don't title your topic "total noob question" - call it what it is, like "E-mu Emax HD - can't switch on".

You're likely to get more and quicker replies that way .

Try detuning oscillator 2 not as much as you do now - the detune should be so that you hear an almost flanging-like effect.

Trying to fleece you extra for MP3 support? Seriously, charging you for the option to BOUNCE an MP3? MP3 support in pretty much every audio application means you're getting fleeced, thanks to the licensing costs which go to Fraunhofer. Whether you save your project and export to mp3 or you save you...

The MKS-70, JX8P, JX-10 and Alpha-Junos all use the same filter topology: A 2 Pole lowpass in series with a 2 Pole Bandpass. What's the use of the bandpass in this case if it appears to be unused? They were built to be bargain DX7 substitutes The membrane button design was a big hit, though, but it...

There is a difference between timbre and quality of sound.

In this case it saved me buying CS80v, which is arguably a good thing .

The best thing is that this trick works for VSTs (ASynth) too!

I found that article too, sent the guy an e-mail, and put it in a Wikibook
