The Sound Board

And now they’ve announced a desktop version with a sequencer based on beatstep, with sensitive pads. You can go paraphonic. I think it’s 3 racks and 64 memory slots (for the sequences) Taking the vast sound design potential of MiniBrute 2 and supercharging it with an advanced, triple-layered step se...

Rather than inflict you the official clip, I think an "outsider" review might be of more help :

Arturia is doing it again, capitalizing on its success story with hardware synths : introducing the MiniBrute 2. A Brute in a semi-modular fashion. Here's what the dev marketing says : Arturia’s latest instrument is a thrilling, adaptable synthesizer that can’t wait to meet your other instruments. C...

About control : reading the thread on VIC, the dev clearly states neither the modwheel nor the mouse has enough definition to get it right : automation is the right tool : We need a whole lot more resolution [than modwheel]. For Thrust this is 100.000 units, compared to 127 units that a Midi control...

If I remember correctly there was a VIC user not satisfied with Neosoulkeys at all, when compared to Keyscape and other offers. I should dig the forum...

good to know thanx! I bought Sym1 by licence transfer, thanx to your advices, a couple of years ago.

the phasey thing about drums has been discussed on VIC. Never noticed it but havn't used them much. The same people say it's all sorted out in this update. Theres' some new combination patches in there too (same samples). A lot of content added in edna engine as well, but very granular sounding and ...

Guy,these are the strings that gathered so much thumbs up in Blake's ensemble comparison :) I watched the Volume 1 walthrough and a bit of the solo offer. All the best with this new Big Boy, Mario ! (PS : I understand you're not exactly part of Red Room Audio, that's right? Am trying to identify all...

Thanx for the report, Guy. EDIT :not a fan of the DX7 sound - I never quite use FM8 and what I like in it is mostly better done by some other VA.Do not dig the Fairlight crunch and apart for some funny re-enacting of 80s' for some cheesy hommage piece of muzak I cannot wrap my head around the use I ...

I'm curious about their piano too. I'm notsure I've ever liked their emulations.
The Buchla sprung as a good new for me but then I realised The Easel is all about hands-on approach to making noises albeit musical ones.

Missed them all, then

There's a demo for you to try out and get familiar with the sound

Djee,I missed that tombola again.
Thanx Kyle for the comment/opinion about SSS coupled with SCS

Spitfire Audio's "Black Friday collection" put Chamber Strings PLUS Symphonic Evos at 412 € ! Because I've already got SSS. Tempted despite lack of funds and considering it could be overkill - I could do with the ensemble collection, but it doesn't exist anymore. The chamber size is really...

Nay Bebop LaCour,you already have too many :-)

I'm sad PianoTeq standard is not BlackFried in any way :-(

@Tobias : I understand there is multiple tickets launch. I think they'ld like their clients to stay tune on the social medias the whole we. Considering SA is now also a fanboyish followers' company, it makes sens. You know, young hobbyist on their phablets the whole 24h...As I'm on VI C from time to...

Not turned away by their rebranding either. Mural Evo was supposed to be exclusive and only wuthin the reach of those who purchased the whole package with extensions. So, nice move. But I think for now on it's close to Uist, without the grid of course...

Yes you're right Quasar. Was saying that because of the comparison with EW which seemed less relevent to me. I wonder how big 8Dio and Cinesamples are. Spitfire is 30 people now, as said somewhere : no more boutique for sure !

Thanx Guy. Very tempting for the synth sucker I've always been - well, at least since 1976 or something... Will grab it some day.

SCS/LCO would have been my1st choice, really, but impossible to pay at the moment. I'm sure Pairs will come back,at least if this sale is a success for SA, as I think they mostly test waters with different formulas. They seem to go the 8Dio/Cinesamples road...And I won't complain! No reason to rush ...

Purchased eDna, since I wanted it from day one - Analogonaut and Moviedrone presets have always seduced my hears

Never figured it out so at times it just sits on the mix buss as it is and it works transparently .

New screen is a well anticipated move from Elektron's crowd. You should see how the 2nd hand market has exploded on French's Audiofanzine reader's add ! No less than 35 Rytm in a few days crying to be bought :-) Pure compulsive behaviors with the added threat of gear losing value. Sure, the brand ne...

Thanx Yasin.I rellay like the timbre of that "orchestra",like the 1st chair option - I guess you cannot tame that vibrato ? - and was impressed by the trumpet too.
