Mark Schmieder Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I simplified my vendor list over the past two years, so I almost hate to see this temptation to add another vendor back to my active list, but probably I won't be tempted as I find synths best for unusual sounds and certain types of leads and basses, so the synth brass and synth string stuff that are what most seem to go for, I much prefer to do on natural instruments these days. But with Oberheim endorsing this re-do of the OB-E and whatever they did to make it multi-platform, may cause me to cave in.

mate stubb Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 GForce stuff almost always sounds terrific. Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the 8 Voice from Cherry Audio else I would buy this one. Typically, I don't buy multiple synth VST's that are the same, I don't use them enough to justify that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coda Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 IMO, the Cherry Audio sounds comparably good. I already checked on my laptop thru my portable Presonus Eris E3.5 and Audio Technica cans. Doesn´t mean the GForce doesn´t sound good, but noo need to buy when owning CA 8-Voice already. ☺️ A.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberGene Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Does Cherry Audio support aftertouch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coda Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 13 minutes ago, CyberGene said: Does Cherry Audio support aftertouch? Yes, I just tried assigning AT to "Filter Offset". At a 1st glance, it seems to be impossible when using Midi learn,- but it works. Details: right-click the virtual pot choose Midi Learn play a note and press ... now, you´ll be disappointed because the note itself toggles between min & max offset values,- but: left-clich Midi Indicator button ! That opens a Midid controler list to the left of 8-Voice. You´re able to do the MIdi Learn process also from that menue,- but because you already did the other way (see above) there´s the option to change the already assigned controller TYPE ( i this case note > pressure) and adjust min and max amount with the 2 virt. pots to the right in the list. Consequently you´re able to assign any MIDI CC to any parameter even w/ controller devices being limited in physical controls,- p.ex. a DX7mkII data slider and if done, change the controller in the list of 8-Voice. Very comfortable ! Hope that helps I´m out now and back tonite ... ☺️ A.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felis Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Possibly a little irrational, but after trying the demo and watching a couple videos, I wanted to show respect to Tom and Marcus. They made what I consider to be some of the best synths ever. When I think 'synth', I think 'Oberheim'. Also as a token of gratitude to Dave for GForce. GForce offers some of the best sounding softsynths I've run across. It also doesn't hurt that OB-e sounds magnificent to me.. YMMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Wow, what a sound! Probably, the more convincing digital recreation of a vintage analog that I've ever heard. I'm definitely buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
