Re: [elektron] UNIQUE Hardware Synth?

2003-02-15 by Raj

Expensive but amazing sounds is the Jomox Sunsyn

Anyone actually got that here?

  the last time knonw when Yamaha recalled us they knew how to make a Synth

  Just like Korg with the Prophecy and the Z1 (that I have :)

  Or Kawai that wakes up from time to time, last was the K5000 (I have too :)

  Roland is in cerebral death %)

  > Lud - but I love my micro modular too :)

  Sure, But I love my NM more (in fact I had the mM and switched to the NMR,
  incredible bang for the bucks, but as all modulars, not for the faint of
  heart)

  You'll never have my modulars! :P

  > like the Dave Smith Evolver and the Macbeth,

  the Evolver is certainly the Rolls Royce of budget analogue synths. mega
  bang for the bucks. But the price means the thing is not as ergonomic as it
  could have been. But more buttons would have killed the price.
  The Macbeth is cool but it's a Mini clone, The one I saw and heard was from
  the pre prod. Evolver is much more flexible.

  > I also
  > think the MFB Synth, which is similar to the evolver,

  The MFB has a GREAT filter. But the oscillators seems to be digital in fact
  (it's a talk right now on the Analogue Heaven list) so are not as good. But
  the filter is right down Moogy. It's half an Evolver (4 osc, 2 analogue, 2
  digital and with an attitude, wave tables from the prophet VSS a killer!)
  I still haven't tried one, but I listened a lot of examples from Dave site
  and from users (links froms the gas station, and AH) it has a lot of
  personality and possibilities.

  > and the Darkstar are certainly unique.

  Analogue emulation, and I'm not sure it's still in production, they've been
  bought by an asian corp and for example the elevata has been killed.

  heard only the unfinished prototype a year ago at Frankfurt.
  I hope I'll be at the Messe again this year to see the finished one. The
  sound has chaged a lot, and the main characteristic don't seem to pass the
  sound compressions for the net. But on the synthesis side, it's a
  breakthrough. But It's certainly not a do it all synth. And it need a
  computer nearby for use of resysnthesis and profile making. A monster.

  There is another neuronal synth in existance, but it's an analogue one and
  completely different in conception. Made by Juergen Michaelis (Mr. JoMoX) as
  a private project, it can be seen and heard (too expensive to make) at JM's
  personnal site. http://www.jayemsonic.de/ It's not finished, soS

  And as we talk of expensive gizmosS one word: Voyager!

  Now what is this monomachine? %)
