This synth offers a tremendous amount of sound options in a very small box, it could fit in any studio (but not any budget sadly). Thanks for your review and demo Sir.
18:18 that pitch tracking graphic is excellent. Great production standards as ever loopop 🙌🏼
3 sharp corners and 1 rounded corner actually looks kind of nice. Usually my OCD would have blown a gasket over such asymmetry :) Thanks for the review @loopop.
This is fascinating, thanks for posting. I was trained by my friend and classmate Greg La Porta how do use this authentic instrument back in 1988 at the headquarters in Manhattan. I then had many opportunities to play the Synclavier owned by Suzanne Ciani at her studio on 23rd and Madison Ave. I never expected the company to come back with a new product, how cool!!

I'm really impressed how deep your knowledge is of a device you just recently got. I've got a Synclavier II here, but it's been in a closet since the nineties. Probably be easier to get one of these than to get the old one up in running. Worked fine when it was put away, but that was over a quarter of a century ago.

I was so lucky to have my hands on this beauty 24/7 for 10 years in the 90s - the best sounding, most reliable and smartest "DAW" - The keyboard was just so user-friendly with all necessary functions with pushing a button - GENIUS!... not to mention the ease of saving and reloading prior versions with a click of a button
good to see another ambitious synth in 2022. great onboard display and very flexible mod options in a serious sound design synth with some amazing features and some surprising (perhaps temporary) omissions. could do with a few more hands-on controls.
Holy cow, a menu-diving synth that's actully been thought out. Well done Synclavier.

Nice thing you did with the waveform and filter view. It's a logical next step, like using white letters and a black background for a presentation using a beamer.
Oh! I've been hearing about this all day. Gonna have a look tomorrow. Greetings from Synthplex!
I think Wendy Carlos was also a user of the NED Synclavier back then in the mid & late 80s. The original Synclavier always fascinated me as much as the Fairlight CMI. Simply because of how much they revolutionized music productions with very different tools to shape your thoughts into a musical fashion. Especially when the Synclavier even got Sampling later added to it to be on par with the Fairlight CMI. Some of my favorite Movie Soundtracks were made on the Synclavier. Like "Starman", "Buckaroo Banzaii" and of course "Flight of the Navigator". This new incarnation really came by surprise. I had no idea someone was owning and actually DOING anything with the Synclavier brand.

Great video as always. No midi sync on a modern digital synth at $2500? strange. I hope they do well just because I like to see new and different products, but for me it would be a hard sell at that price range, not enough hardware controls so it seems like you would really need to do a lot of midi mapping and at that point you can get a lot of great soft synths and effects plugins for that price. I would have to watch again and understand better all the differences between the Waldorf Iridium and this, but through the whole video I kept thinking that the Waldorf would be its main competitor and I see at the end you felt also. If I has to choose between the two, the Iridium seems like it would fit my setup better and seems more "hardware:" than this. Cool product and concept though.

For a synth that is made to have complex patches with lots of movement and also has effects to not have midi sync is almost unheard of these days. The only synth I have that doesn't have midi sync is a model D and that only has one LFO and I still think it is annoying that it doesn't have midi sync but that is a pure analog $300 synth. . I don't even have an effects pedal that doesn't have midi sync.
The graphics they use are so, so much better and more usable than what you tend to get on synth screens! Also it sounds fantastic!
What a surprise! And a nice one by the way... Really powerful and rich sounds possible with this instrument. It deserves a keyboard version with a larger screen and more swipers you're right @loopop. A software editor as well maybe for more ease of use before playing.

Finally, a hardware Synclavier's actually in my reach! I wonder if this will include all of the sounds the original Synclavier II came with.
Wow, sounds amazing.
That is some gorgeous sound
Great review once again! Perfect for someone who needs to save on studio space. Although, I would actually be willing to pay more for a better menu diving screen with controls like the Quantum or Iridium has for quicker editing. Other than that, this thing rocks.

I think LFO sync to midi clock and resynthesis would be what tips me over the edge with a product like this. I like that you can mute and unmute partials in real time. If that is something that can be controlled via midi, that could be a cool thing to sequence as the notes play. I also think the Hydrasynth - other than its lack of multitimbrality - would be a strong alternate for an instrument like this.

Hopefully there comes an easy way to import multisamples, even if it's via a computer editor, etc. That's one thing that always bothered me about the Blofeld; so much potential, such a PITA for sample import.
Sounds beautiful
I Like the timbres produced on initial listen here. Reminds me of perhaps the Waldorf Iridium desktop module. It seems like a heck of a challenge for these developers of stand alone hardware to get an interface that can access all of these functions maybe better accessed through a computer GUI with large screen and large menus to see. Certainly stand alone synths and modules serve their purpose of mainly reminding you that you bought them as you see them sitting on your desks and stands verses trying to remember which app is on which computer and on which SSD drive!
Really amazing that with the release firmware you can use the modulator with all oscillator types. Meaning, you can FM modulate samples with very complex waveforms for unique results. And, you can change FM depth and define a unique modulator waveform for eacn frame, and set the speed to move between these frames, for extremly complex evolving hybrid FM/Sample sounds.
I'm actually really surprised by the design... it looks like a mega cool VST synth... when I saw a photo of it I thought, here we go again a beautiful looking synth but just VST... then I found this video and I went woahhhh
incredible sound design possibilities
So many feelings over this. I'm gonna just narrow it down; feels like Christmas came early!
Bit rich for my blood, but I'm really impressed with how it sounds and the interface/user experience looks great. Great stuff

It looks cheap to me -- like a budget Sonicware product -- something they'd price for $500 or $600 .. That it's $2600 and competing with the far better designed UI and more feature rich Iridium was a shock to me. I'd love to have one if it was under 1k but not at this price. It could probably run on a Raspberry Pi, as additive/FM aren't particularly CPU intensive synthesis types.

Awesome review! I think they should have scaled back the polyphony and multi-timbrality a bit, added a lot more controls and dropped the price. This is way too expensive for what it is. This feels like an iPad app with a bunch of physical buttons. I also think you covered the main competitors very well! This is becoming more and more difficult, with so many awesome products hitting the market every year.
Very interesting. I agree on the hardware comments. I didn't hink I would aver say this about a hardware instrument but one gets the impression the mouse controlled Arturia version is more practical. Sound engine wise I would mis granular sampling unless resynthesis gets implemented and works like a charm. Theoretically resynthesis is the holy grail but granular sampling seems to be the more practical solution to get comparable expressive control without drowning oneself in parameter overflow during programming. So for the time being I would go for the Iridium if I was in the market for something at this price point.
Sounds amazing and seems capable of all kinds of deep, abstract sounds. 90-voice polyphony sounds like a winner.

Another fantastic video! Upside - I love the sound and flexibility. Even with your Cons, I think I'll be getting one. Downside - For $2500, I'd sure love to see a keyboard. Maybe I'd pay more for a keyboard version, but I've got too many "modules" connected to my controller now and I'd love to have it be self-contained. Downside 2 - Square??? (with one rounded corner, like that unnamed car, you know the one) I'm curious to know how well it will sit on a keyboard stand (back to "wanting a full keyboard" rant). Lastly, a question - will it import samples I've made? (I apologize if I missed you saying so) If so, I'll be getting one and sorting out the crazy form-factor issues later. It's too amazing to pass up.

Considering the price and UI I would probably go for some Waldorf desktop alternative: doing great on UI side and (imo) equally good on the sound side. It would be a great product if they worked on the interface a bit more, design and added proper midi.
A hope a firmware update will make the partials in the additive oscillator inharmonic.
Wow, that is beautiful...
Sonically it’s interesting and brings back memories. Industrial design puts me off, and yes I'm that petty and this would prevent me from buying it.

Can you have more than a 2 op fm on this synth?

If it's only 2 op style per partial, it's still pretty cool what you can do with it.
