This maybe my favorite from the movie. The only thing I didn't like, and it still gets a visceral reaction when watching: The only time the camera would show Jerry Harrison or Bernie Worrell was when they were NOT jamming the tasty solo and licks. -
Looks like a hardware leslie sim, perhaps like their old Burn (but smaller but no ax7 tube?). I still call upon the orig Burn, it's quite decent for a sim. Have no idea why they stopped making those. -
https://www.facebook.com/GenuineSoundware/videos/965001481855978/ Looks like GS is working on a new version of Burn FX unit - the prototype shows Burn 2024 on the left edge. Could be using the updated Leslie sim from VBII 2023 edition? -

I have a suspicion that this particular advancement, as opposed to digital instruments and sampling (which has been embraced largely due to lack of access to all the analog and acoustic instruments it can sound like) will usher in a big musical luddite movement. A marketing point (as mentioned above) “made without AI” both in recordings and live shows. Social media clearly shows there are more people than ever in the world who are playing instruments, making art, writing books, etc. entirely without AI. Do they/we really have any interest in filling our minds with robot art? This type of material seems more inclined for commercial use in advertising, low budget soundtracks for video. How hard will it become to tell the difference a year or three from now. That remains to be seen. -
Disagree. Based on the OP’s song title, that is deep, meaningful, well thought out and emotional

I just bought one used two days ago. I had in the past (a very past) the original ARP Odissey and an Avatar (the guitar version of the Odissey). They sounded quite differenti, and now I understand why: two different version of the filter. A friend of mine still have the all black one with coloured sliders, which Is again different, maybe two poles filter? Anyway the Behringer sounds good but a bit differenti too. My ARP had a ring modulator I used to build fabolous bell like sounds: metallic, full of harmonics. The kind of sound you can hear on Japan Tin Drum or Oil on Canvas albums. Until now I couldn't recreate this sound. Neither the Avatar did. Just my ARP Odissey I sold for little Money :( -
In V.A.S.T., be it the original V.A.S.T. or the newer vaster V.A.S.T. with Cascade and Dynamic, there are several ways you can use internal DSP sources with Samples: 1. Samples only 2. Internal DSP Oscillators only without any Sample 3. Samples mixed with internal DSP Oscillators In the new V.A.S.T., you can certainly use a multi-sampled Keymap, alongside an internal anti-aliased DSP Osc, e.g. a 2-block SINE+ for a single Layer, or even an aliased one like the old SAW+. For larger AA DSP Oscs, e.g. the 4-block SAW, you'd need to use Cascade Mode, a passthrough signal and a Mixer ALG. So these aren't mutually exclusive. Instead, what the manual seems to indicate is that if you want to do a traditional analogue subtractive synth, then you'd rather not use a Keymap, which makes sense since analogue subtractive synths don't use them at all. You can still use a Keymap's sample Envelope if it is set to Natural, even if the Sample itself isn't sounding via the Layer, say, if you have simply a 4-block AA DSP SAW. That SAW block effectively cuts off any of the Sample signal. However, as the AMPENV mode is set to Natural, it is the factory AMPENV for that multi-Sampled Keymap that is applied to the Layer. The Natural envelopes have more details than can be produced with a User AMPENV. The thing that happens with setting the Keymap to Silence is that it sets each key's amplitude to the same maximum amplitude. Maybe that's what you need in a certain program, but sometimes, if you are doing an emulative program, you could be better off actually referencing the emulation's Keymaps Sample although the latter isn't heard, with the corresponding Natural Envelope, or of course, you could just go into User Mode and make your own envelope. Hope this helps. -
Sweetwater might accept to deliver to Canada, but you will be charged transport accordingly and as anything going USA to Canada your item will go through customs and it is always possible to end up with extra fees - sometimes very expensive. I personally had a very bad experience about 10 years ago and promised myself to never import again from the USA unless the seller confirms on paper he pays for all possible customs and duties extra fees. Buying Kurzweil products in Canada has always been complicated. In the 1990s a few stores in the province kept a couple of them, but if you wanted something they didn't have you had to order sight unseen and wait months to get your purchase. That is how I bought my MIDIboard, K1200 and finally, around 2000, a PC2X. I hated the Fatar action on the PC2X from day one and swore to never buy a keyboard sight unseen ever again.
