Nice waveforms but worst filters
I like waveforms. I do not like workflow, but i can't imagine better - do not have experience with TI Virus, Hydrasynth or Korg Wavestation to compare. Worst thing in this synth - their filters. Absolutely not clear. For most waveforms Lader filter closed all sound completely on 50% Cut-off. It means for me that we loose ~50% sounds from this synth because of semi-closed filter. I would like to compare with mentioned synths to make more precision comparison.
Great wee synth
There was always something about this that stood out whenever i saw it and when i saw it at the price i saw it for was a no brainier. Itâs smaller than it looks but packs a serious punch, plenty of modulation, vector joystick, loads of lush presets that sounds amazing and space to save penny more. It even has an app that iâve not used yet but supposedly you can use it to update? Donât quote me on that last past. Overall 10/10
Very low sound output
Although the synth seems and looks interesting, what really put me off is the extremely low sound quality, the output of it is very low even with the latest firmware installed. All of my other synths sound at least 3 times louder without any interference, or adding anything extra to the signal. And all are connected identical. Looked quite inspiring though.
I already ha a wavestate when i bought this,both are wavable synths but very different in sound.So many sonic possibilities,i got the module so i cold put it on a bigger midi keyboard a good decision on my part.
Nice one!
I'd been waiting for this thing for months but at the end, it is amazing!
A rack mount digital synth with amazing oscillators and possibilities!
