Adan Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The latest crop of B3 clones are so good and so practical, it makes me want to go out and find an organ gig, just so I have a reason to buy one.

Sundown Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 It's always a good time to be a keyboard player. We've been at the forefront and bleeding edge of virtually all industry-changing forces (from computers, to MIDI, to affordable DAW's, etc.). And while I'm sure there are many good boards to pick from, I'm not sure there is any real innovation taking place. If you weren't alive or playing in the seventies, think about the impact that the Minimoog had, or the first affordable polyphonic synthesizers. Or the initial impact of the Mellotron or the first 8 bit samplers. While those are hard achievements to match, I'm not sure that we're always looking for something really new and progressive, or just rehashing the same old thing again and again. In my own development, I've turned back to playing as the real answer. Yes, I'd love an 88-key controller and I'll get one at some point, but it's been a while since a synth has entered the market that has really made me take notice. I find that simpler sounds are often what's needed to make a track work, and my gear can handle most requirements.

zahush76 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 It's actually called Dominion X.. http://soundcloud.com/mfb-instruments/mfb-dominion-x-preview-demo It has a Schippman filter Btw, there's a whole discussion on gearslutz about the very noticable hiss\noise on this demo. Some say it's the recording quality, but some claim it's a known issue with mfb synths. They are known to be hissy (in a bad way, that is). I wonder what's causing this noise and really hope he'll get it fixed. Vermona Perfourmer mkii, Nord Stage 3 76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkeen Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The demo was made on a prototype, so even if the noise comes from the unit itself, I'm pretty sure it won't be there in the final product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
