If it did it would probably be much better regarded. Wavetables and analogue filters? Sounds like a winning combination to me. :P
You mean of course a Waldorf Microwave :cheers:

Re: Is a Yamaha Tyros a synthesizer?

A rompler to me is not a true synthesizer. It is a synthesizer though, just not a true through and through synth. Of course no one really cares but purists, since a synth is a synth. Unless of course you are here at VS :D

The TR is not legit. That's a scam. Haven't seen the axxe one.

Re: Is a Yamaha Tyros a synthesizer?

I think we need to distinguish between true synths using basic waveforms as the base and synths using predetermined sampled waveforms (basically anything not using sampled sounds). But then you look at hybrid synthesis like Waldorf Microwave and Ensoniq Transwaves, it starts to blur. Still these syn...

Re: Pix from AH California - Bay Area

I've been so good at resisting any GAS lately but this thread is making things difficult... :( Doesn't help I've got an almost completely empty Eurorack case sitting in my cupboard. I know what you mean, mine sits with but one Doefper 104 filter and that's it. Spent all my modular money on a FR XS....

Re: price guide type thing for synths?

Prepal is pretty useless, but it does put things in perspective. It basically shows how trendy gear can be. Instead of looking for good alternatives that great or better, people flock to what everyone on the forums talk about because it's 'In' or being talked about. I usually don't let me desired 's...

Re: Moog Little Phatty dissapointment and My new Moog

So is it safe to say that an LP with USB won't have the noise issue (since it's newer)? Just wondering because I haven't kept up with the LP issue, but have a friend that just bought a LP with USB.

Re: Any Waldorf Microwave users here?

Anyone know if you can copy the MW rom cards? I'm looking for some and was wondering if I could pay someone to make copies somehow (although I'm shooting in the dark because I've never heard of making copies). Is there anyone that can dump the midi info from the cards and send them over, so they cou...

Re: Macbeth X Factor

So pretty expensive, huh. Either way, this synth is the real deal. For some reason I didn't get a long with the M3X and find the X Factor much more attractive as it doesn't seem to cut corners. Not sure what the price is, but I'm sure that won't cut corners either. :mrgreen: I'd get this over a Voya...

Re: Christmas is coming...

Do you guys actually buy synth Christmas gifts for yourself? I'm usually good once I buy everyone else gifts. I typically wait until the new year to get anything. This past year was the best ever, a Future Retro XS :D But who am I kinding, I buy gear whenever :mrgreen:

Re: New Future Retro product coming.

You can easily use the FR XS as a drum module. That's half the reason I bought it.

I think we can bet it's a sequencer, with or without drums. Whatever it is, we all know it's going to be good.

Re: Casiotone CT-6000?

I have a HT-6000. Never heard of the CT, but the HT sounds pretty dang good. Somehow I like some Casio synths because of there unique sound. Kind of a hidden gem from Casio that not too many know about.

Re: Do you have patches that you use over and over?

For some reason I really don't like to use the same patches in different songs. I'm sure at some point I might get to doing that, but for now I kind of despise it in general. Something looses it's freshness when a sound is used alot on an album, unless that sound is just awesome and it's used in dif...
