Al Coda Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I already buyed this http://www.kvraudio.com/db/5113 It sounds great and compliments well w/ OPX Pro II. Also available in monophonic version http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php?mode=show&id=5200 With purchase of Clockwork Step Sequencer, the monophonic SAMse is for free http://music.service-1.de/html/clockwork_stepsequencer_vst.html Only mentioning this because now,- Arturia comes w/ the next one, incl. a sequencer ... http://www.kvraudio.com/news.php?id=17431 A.C.

RedLeo Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 That looks awesome...it's making me think hard about getting a PC that can actually run all this stuff. Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer. - W. C. Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Cool -- although I'm more interested in emus of stuff that isn't currently available in hardware, so may pass on this. OTOH unless Tom comes out with the keyboard edition of SEM or Two-Voice (there was some talk of this earlier), I may prefer software to a table-top module. I'd probably be more excited if this was coming from Way Out Ware or G-Force than Arturia. Too bad the other one (SAM) is Windows-only.

mate stubb Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Does anyone else find that Arturia's emulations of various instruments all tend to sound similar, instead of capturing the individual character of the original instrument?

ksoper Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Does anyone else find that Arturia's emulations of various instruments all tend to sound similar, instead of capturing the individual character of the original instrument? Yes. I didn't buy the Jupiter for pretty much that reason.

Al Coda Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Too bad the other one (SAM) is Windows-only. I´ve found it a good idea always, to have one Win PC beneath the Macs. It´s so easy to make a Obie 4 voice or 8 voice in the DAW now. With Reaper and it´s routing abilities,- copy SAM 4 times within your VST plugins folder, rename SAM DLL w/ numbers at the end (_1 _2 _3 _4), create a folder track and 4 child tracks in Reaper, route MIDI channels, audio and PAN,- use all 4 SAMs monophonic,- bingo,- there´s the 4-voice ! I payed EUR 21.- special offer when it was released,- well ... :-) A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogholic Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Does anyone else find that Arturia's emulations of various instruments all tend to sound similar, instead of capturing the individual character of the original instrument? I agree totally! All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

PicklesMahoney Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Why even bother with this when Tom is out there making new versions and also has the 4 voice coming out. The new SEM is cheap and sounds great. Life is too short for emulations. If you are going to be using Arturia you may as well ditch the old lady and get a fleshlight. Emulations are all vile and degrading.

Dana. Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Why even bother with this when Tom is out there making new versions and also has the 4 voice coming out. Because not everyone can afford the $899. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should read http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=322780&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 Gonga, former FVS-1 owner, says it sounds gorgeous (6th post) and someone found an "anomaly" 1st, then compared w/ Sonic Projects OPX and recognized the "anomaly" is part of the oberheimish sound. "Sendy",- last post here http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=322780&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75 Using plugins doesn´t mean not using hardware and I myself own 2 Oberheim synths,- the Xpander and Matrix-1000,- but I find it very comfortable to have the oberheimish sound also in my DAW w/ total recall, especially for that price.
