Re: what is the best synthesizer from the 2000's (2000-2010) ?

I said Andromeda and I don't have one, and I refused to accept the statement that the V synth is the best one and I owe one.

I know what envy is......

Re: Boa sounds

So what kind of sounds are those?

Kittens screaming for help? little chickens crying for mercy while being eaten?

I love nature sounds, but I would never get a f**k sneak, precisely because they need living food. :hmph: :hmph: :hmph:

Re: Worst Roland, Korg and Yamaha Synths?

Korg: Roland: Old Fantoms. Je je, I had the very first one. I found myself several times pressing the screen, je je, forgot is not the Vsynth. I received one for one month, in order to program it for a local producer, to make "trance" with it. Sometimes I work personalizing synths for specific purp...

Re: Worst Roland, Korg and Yamaha Synths?

That's a heavy one. It's difficult to find any "worst" synth, previous suggestions were for "budget" synthesizers, that were cut down so the price would be affordable to enthusiasts. However, when you think about price vs. build quality vs. features: Yamaha: VL1 - the price tag that was really deva...

Re: what is the best synthesizer from the 2000's (2000-2010) ?

Despite being owner and addict user from the V synth, I don't see it as the coolest one from the last 10 years. I would give my vote to the Andromeda or Poly Evolver. Vsynth has an average VA with an insane sampler, but this kind of elastic pitch sampling technology already came with the VIP 9000......

Re: Yamaha - enemies of synthsis!

It's a sad time when "do your research" means "enter x into a search engine." Et tu, Brute? And it works....: "Et tu, Brute?" is a Latin phrase often used poetically to represent the last words of Roman dictator Julius Caesar. Immortalized by Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the quotation is widely use...

Re: Yamaha - enemies of synthsis!

Man, I thought the title was sarcasm, hoped to find pure yamaha praising inside. ... FS1R. I'm ashamed and feel like a traitor to Yamaha. First time I've heard about that synth. Obviously I made an Internet search to find out about it, but I don't understand the type of synthesis it uses. About the ...

Re: Worst Roland, Korg and Yamaha Synths?

Yamaha: they never did it with the "groovy" boxes or dance-oriented desktops, except the RS 7000 wich is a cool sampler. Korg: their rompler series like someone said. IMO Triton classic is one of the most boring synths I ever played. Thin and plastic sound. Roland. After the V synth, I haven't seen ...

Re: sampler like sonik synth?

This probably does not exists. Is there a sampler that I could buy, that I could at lease buy expansion packs to get these sounds? Thanks! Most of modern hardware samplers can be loaded easily with .wav sounds. if these soundpacks are .wav, you can fill a sampler with them in a few minutes. It they...

Re: Yamaha - enemies of synthsis!

good quoting shreddie. I had the opportunity to get the k5000s, for $400, but I hesitated , and lost it Is sad that we can talk about "the last decent product from XX label was" and we check it, and they come from 5-10 years ago! :( Last decent product from Roland, was the V synth.

Re: Yamaha - enemies of synthsis!

I don't think it ever actually went to court, because Casio pulled out of the synth market. I'm not enough of a law expert (especially concerning Japanese law) to guess at who would have won. they still on the business. I just replaced the internal battery of my Yamaha EX5 and it was a Casio one :m...

Re: Rant about the lack of modern hardware samplers.

Just amazes me that people really dont like rack samplers :( I have a Yamaha A4000 since 7 years ago.... Prob with those oldie 80ies samplers, is that the "most powerful" has 512k or 1Mb. Most of the people won't pay $$$ for that.... I have an AX60, I will like to use its minidin input for the samp...

Re: Yamaha - enemies of synthsis!

The best ADSR synthesis on workstations is Yamaha. They are so detailed... love to sculpt patches on AMP screens... I just complain about their Japanese concept of user interface. They always complicate things. Most of yamaha synths issues are related to the way or procedures to operate them and get...
