NAMM 2016 : The thread

you can see the mechanism for a brief moment in gocab's video link!

demo

Stop with the res knob you knob.

us price : 499 dollars / french price : 600 euros

sounds nice and seems well tuned usability/flexibility-wise

screams for a CV mod

ok, so it's fucking great escpecially for the price. Sounds pretty bread and butter but in a good way.

The only thing that pisses me off with these aimed at the mass synths is the number of presets. It greatly reduced the amount of legit usable sounds someone can use. I know that kinda sounds ridiculous but there was some rad sounding presets in there and there is no way I would go near them for fear of having the exact same sound as a million other people who don't mind using the same sound as everyone else.

Idiots tie sounds with genres and it makes them unusable in other styles for fear of ridicule. I don't know, kinda silly rant.

Great job though korg.

^ I understand where you're coming from, but this synth is kinda made for quick access to a range of bread&butter classic sounds as you said, innit - it's not really for deep sound design, and there's only so many ways to make a DONK sound. imo if you think of it as something basic like a bass guitar or something it'll be ok, you wouldn't complain about people using essentially all the same basic bass guitar sound in their tunes amiright?

yeah totally man. The way I'll deal with the problem is by not buying it ha. the reason I have not bought any of the newer synths in recent years.

was considering buying one but lol not for 600 euros

It's very ambitious butIt's very ambitious but it sounds pretty harsh and tinny, not much different from the microkorg, not worth a 600eur price tag!

I think it sounds great and I like that it does nice b&b classic analogue sounds. I'd rather pay for a new synth than a 2nd hand one from the 80s because I'd be too afraid of breakages. I might pick one of these up if the price is decent in the UK. I have a Blofeld for sound design purposes, lush pads etc and a more basic synth for bass lines and leads is pretty much what I'm after right now.

Wtf is with the price? How does that even work?

lol 499 dollars = 600 euros

???

explain that shit...

This was looking like a pretty sensible response to the whinging about lack of budget analog poly, but with the pricing they may as well have soldered a dildo to the front panel. Distracting.

feelin' bad for you europeons

It is an amazing instrument for $500 USD

There are some good pad samples that demonstrate its better sides here. Still can't believe the price hike this side of the pond.

is it possible to order from us or does shipping kill it? or are retailers hot to that tip and not able to ship international?

shipping + taxes = no bueno

fuck EU seriously

"You just turn knobs and very musical things tend to happen."

Show me a synth where controlling the exact same parameters does not produce musical things...

A typical synth demo.
