AnotherScott Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Last I checked, iMini could not be set to respond to only a single MIDI channel, effectively meaning you can't run any other MIDI sound app at the same time, which greatly limits its usability. I hope that's being addressed. I'd rather see what they have already working right, instead of new products! Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan_evett Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Thanks, Dan ! Checked out the very thorough intro video, then downloaded iSEM. I played through several sounds using the iPad keyboard and speakers. Going to try it later with a controller and the cabinets in my workspace. So far it sounds quite good. I'll post more when I've spent some time with it. Good to have what seems a strong, OB model in the bag of tricks.

orangefunk Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Downloaded it and my initial thoughts are that it sounds good and has a nice interface. But.... at least to me, it's nothing like a SEM or group of SEMs. It does however have the essence of an Oberheim sound and it will be great for live performance I bet.

ABECK Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 How does it compare to the SEM V plugin? I just bought that one and am very happy with it. Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABECK Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Very cool. I've never been crazy about the Arturia stuff. It's not so much dislike, just indifference. But, I've been getting some great sounds from the SEM V, from tubby fat basses, to aggressive OSC Sync leads. The routing matrix they added is awesome. The chorus and delay tend to produce a bit too much tone-suck, so I tend to leave those off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogman1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Got it. Love it! Tom Nord Electro 5D, Modal Cobalt 8, Yamaha upright piano, numerous plug-ins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefunk Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Been playing with it for the last 30 mins. Already crashed 3 times but I am warming to this synth (the Voice Prog section is fantastic!). I do wish there were more modulation options but then it wouldn't be a SEM I suppose!

I do wish there were more modulation options but then it wouldn't be a SEM I suppose! The SEM Pro looks like it has a lot of patching and modulations. That's been on my GAS list for a while.

Bucktunes Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Got mine Sunday. Been having fun with it since. It's good for 4 voice polyphony on my iPad 2. If anyone had told me 35 years ago that I could get an Oberheim 4 voice for ten bucks I'd have wondered what drugs they were taking. Gotta love technology! ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorSilver Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't expect this to sound exactly like a real SEM or to give me exactly the same sounds as Lyle Mays' Four Voice, but it sounds good enough to me here: https://soundcloud.com/steve-raizen/transitory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
