    Great synth! And what do you think about Korg Minilogue?

  • @VultureCulture
    @VultureCulture4 сағат бұрын

    Minilogue XD with 4 voices, hybrid architecture, incredible fx, is one of my highest recommended synthesizers. Doesn't really sound like a Polysix but can sound really warm and analog.

    I used a Poly800 back in the 80s and only because it was the cheapest synth that could play chords. I could hear it sounded thin and uninteresting compared to the kit-built monosynth I was also using - far better.

    Nice video covering a lot of what it can do. I'm keen to get one. You can set the velocity to respond differently to each of the 4 DCOs, so that's where you could get some expression I think - combined with velocity set to control the filter. A looped pattern with gradually increasing velocity values could work well. But yeah - unsurprising you sold it - It's no D50 or Wavestation :)

    I'm very happy with the OB-XD, btw.. and it gets even awesomer with automation ! You can make it do things that no HW synth can do when you automate TF out of it. Still great sounds on the OB-X which is I assume fully automizable as well.

    Strange timing. I found this video during some research into Tal pha. I wanted to make sure it was going to be a good buy vs the hardware. So I get out of work, and play this for the drive home so I can just listen. I figured I'd stop at the local music store to see if anything cool is in. There's an alpha 2 sitting there.... lol.

    @@VultureCulture This one was around that price. I know what's going to happen if I bought the hardware; I spend the money, control it through Jupiter-X for a few sounds, it takes up real estate, collects dust, and thats about it, or spend 1/10th the price for 90% of the accuracy, plus the ability to take ot to levels beyond the hardware with layering. Don't get me wrong, I love and own some analog gear, but I've also curbed my GAS by being a realist. There is also a collector side and I completely get that, and if anything, buying it simply as an investment might be a consideration.

    I couldn’t watch the whole livestream due to connection issues, but this synth sounds Heavenly! I’m new to synths and sound design, with Sylenth being my only VST experience. I had no idea they could sound this good. This is definitely on my radar! Can you do a video on Sylenth and if it can sound like this?

  • @VultureCulture
    @VultureCultureКүн бұрын

    Sylenth, while a fabulous software synth, isn't going to sound this analog. I don't think Sylenth can do PWM? So this is going to be in a different league than that plugin for analog sounds. However, Sylenth does Virus-type stuff phenomenally.

  • @BeanyBeanyBeanster
    @BeanyBeanyBeanster3 күн бұрын

    I think the confusion is that, in this case, a 'Live Review' doesn't mean a 'Live Performance'. It is simply a demonstration for musicians who want to hear the synth before they buy it. We want to hear the raw tone of the oscillators & filter & how they react with the FX. We don't want to hear someone else play a 'Live Performance' as we will be imagining how it will integrate with our own performance needs
