Yes but it's not as good or detailed as Synapse's version.

Good news !
I don’t find Arturia ´s impressive at all.

Easily best bang for bucks of the year, so far.
Me like them arpeggio on plucked instruments.

Well, I finally bought it ! So much fun for a synth addict like me :-) I already have the usual suspects in the guise of Omni, NI kOmplete, U-He ´s... Got to try these new skins, as the regular one is a bit of a depressive one, at least for me. I wish too the matrix could be detached from the UI to ...

I can see how one could benefit of such a tool for live performances - that is in front of an audience.
that’s the 1st thing that jumped to mind when seeing the final teaser.

Thanx for the report, Guy. Never bite the bullet though I could be the target in some way. Just saw a travelog on the tiresome Mix Doctor on YT. Only one man is responsible for the code, a German living in Vancouver. Sound designer is living in Frankfurt. Both are huge Starwars fans and collect pric...

I've just tried the beta of Zebra 2.9, which must be my 5th trial of it, and try as I might, I just can't love it. Some great sounds for sure, but nothing that really overexcites me and I've never got on that interface I know many others love, I don't find the modulation intuitive. The tag browser ...

Aperture strings is indeed a different thing than the Original Series offers - the latter being an Albion 1 legacy spin-off/lighter lib based on A1 Legacy strings, hence the free dwl for those who happen to own A1 legacy. Aperture will be offered for those who spend 299£ and more on SA libs during B...

Remember when George Harrison asked for a distorted brass sound, at the dismay of the engineer ? )

As we say in french : rendez à César ce qui appartient à César

About the downbeat sync : Red Room Audio introduced it 2 years ago I think with their Palette Arps and runs.

More Sherlock than Obiwan then (should we spell it OB-1 in this vincinity?)

I had a fun time listening to your reviews "warts and all" :-) The moment you said something aout our in house relatives complaining about the noise was spot on ! It definitely was a good move to close my bedroom's door. About the library : I had a smile on my face the moment you pressed a...

Thanx for doing that, Piet.
Really pleasing indeed these plates sound.

Thing is, they had these tiny unreadable crisscross bars of pullers on their UIs and now they come with these huuuuge plates that scream Hey, I'm the new boss in town !

After the 80s craze may be we ´ll go through a 90’s rewind folly

Magnolia ! Sucha fascinating film.

Ahah !Excellent :-)

Acoustic Samples, from which I own a delighful "character" piano, has just launched a half-sampled/half Modeled Rhodes Suite case. https://www.acousticsamples.net/vtines From the developper : We found a way to combine both technologies by using samples as the sound source and all the rest ...

I grabbed it and I like it very much. I'm a bit annoyed that one has to load samples for each preset. And As I only have some "green" HD,NAS things I got from my step-bro a few years back for cheap -well, free is cheap, init ? it can be a tad boring at times to go through each and every pa...

I tried Heartbeat a while back and it didn’t make it - for starters, no sequencer on board so it’s a big Negative for me.
Modular was at 39€ a coup’e of weeks back, so it will come back I’m sure. And yes there

On VIC, Charlie Closer writes interesting comments about it too. He's adopted it, but note as a master buss FX but on individual tracks, to make some of them pop up.

Thanks folks - got my eye on $48 worth of pizza. I just thought I should let everyone know that due to a quite astonishing quirk of fate I am eating pizza at the Adaggio restaurant in Paris, and between us the mains will probably be about $48. We should in fact be in Turin but... it’s a loooong sto...

Is it me - and my set up - or the legato don’t work at-all ???
Other than that, for 48 bucks, it’s very interesting - rather dry if ones want it that way.
In a pop-electro context, I think I’ll find some good use.

Bear in mind though u-he allows licence reselling so there ´s always the option to buy a piece of beautiful algo anytime of the year - providing you haunt KVR and the like... I’ve bought Zebra and Repro that way.

As always, thanx to both of you for taking the time and bare the hassle to enlighten us. I’ll dwl the plugin to demo it for myself. I do not have the Clariphonic V2 alas - couldn’t upgrade because the guy who sold it to me didn’t have the original serial or something, so Kush told me I had to buy it...
