Guest The Bro Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looks very limited. I think if it was £150 then it could compete with the Monotribe. I just can't get too excited about this to be honest.

Guest Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 tbh i just assumed what i assumed because the specs put the A N A L O G filter first and then never mention that word again.. so i guess the OSC is not a DCO but in fact software, its weird hyper-saw-quasi-poly-mode seems to imply the same imho... But we all know what this really is. This is an espresso machine.

ryancolecreate Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 ya I but the "chords" are done by tuning each osc to the right interval. LOL.

Common practice with synths these days, though. Didnt see monophonic mentioned anywhere in the specs, but I would be very surprised if this was a poly synth.. Can't be certain, but seems like you get a mono 8 voice osc section with a unison spread control. So at minimum setting all voices will be playing the same frequency, as you turn the spread parameter up, the voices are scaled apart at varying ranges. Low settings would get you a thick phasing sound, higher settings creating chords, and most likely ending up at stacked octaves when the spread paramter is maxed. Actually can be a nice bit of fun, and cant sound really fat, still a long way from full poly but I guess they're trying to save money as proper voice allocation stuff might ramp the price up a fair whack. Very little is mentioned about the VCF which is annoying, aside from the fact that it's Analogue, but that really doesnt mean a whole lot imo. Multimode analogue filter, at such a low price, wouldn't expect anything too exciting. Some dull 12db thing I guess. VCA looks proper poop, on/off switches for sustain and release.. I dunno, I guess it's a pretty cool price, and the osc detune function is pretty unique. Personally I'd save a few pennies more for something a bit more ballsy.

DerWaschbar Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 'Special case: If Sawtooth is selected and the poly saw mode is active with a maximum value of the Wave parameter: With maximum setting of the Tune parameter you will get an unisono mode where all 8 oscillators will play the incoming MIDI notes. This is no real polyphony but will allow playing chords.'

LimpyLoo Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Like I said, I really hate vague and misleading marketing like this. Three things should be made immediately evident: osc, filter, polyphony. Only reason not to be clear and up-front is hucksterism.
