Stokely Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Both my keyboards intended for live use have pretty excellent synths IMO, so no real "need" for another one to add to complexity especially considering my band is only sloooooowly adding more synthy tunes....but if this had come along a few years ago I'd definitely be interested.

AWkeys Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Just have to ask though - why the ugly orange LCD? That just stands out to me in a bad way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably have a HUGE stock of those lying around... As long as it feels good for the eyes when working with the machine I'm okay, ,don't give me white or the kind of flash blue that you can get in many a LCDs, they hurt.. I have that in my Argon8m, not happy about it... 1 Quote "You live every day. You only die once." Where is Major Tom? - - - - - PC3, HX3 w.

Surely, that UB-Xa combo would keep you busy until Uli gets around to making that unicorn Jupe we mentioned in another thread.😁😎 2 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

David Emm Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I'm glad I'm mostly out of the hardware game, because I'd really hate how much I like this one. Its hard to deny that full Ober-pad patch. I have a soft spot for desktop modules. Its a bit funny, because I ran my first comprehensive rig from a Korg workstation for several years. It was madness, doing it from that modest display. Now, you can simply click & go, with a DAW or most hardware sequencers. I just shrug off B gear personally, for reasons, but I'll give a slight nod to how well-rounded this synth seems. I'm following the seeming upgrade of the company's higher-end pieces with real curiousity. If its still performing well after 10 years, $800 is a bargain. If I'm still here to carp about it in 10 years, that'll be a miracle. 💀 1 Quote Do what makes you happy this week. So long as it’s not eating people. Eating people is bad.

dglcomp Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Given how well the X series of mixers seem to be holding up I think Behringer's synths shouldn't have any issues with longevity. The things I've got feel solid.

J.F.N. Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Lovely, that's 724€ in my situation (VAT registered company in another EU country). Though my next planned purchase is a Mac Mini M1 16GB (used) to set up a proper DAW for composition. Quote "You live every day. You only die once." Where is Major Tom? - - - - - PC3, HX3 w.

You're not missing out on much! I'm a bit amused to see Oberheim emulations challenging the number of soft-Moogs, not to mention the hardware releases. I have an SEM, so its only a matter of time before I take up a poly. Synapse Audio's Obsession is still in the lead, but GForce's OB-1 is coming up fast on the outside. (Oberheim contributed to that one, high praise for sure.) Its not a burning need, but you don't have full bragging rights without one. The pads in particular have a flavor all their own. If you have enough fancy filters, as in Pigments, you can build your own and come close. Still, a fully committed instrument seems to pay off best in the end. I notice that the Roland JP-8000 surrogate Sunrizer has been updated. That's a real beauty and one of the better calling cards an iPad could ask to have. 👍 1 Quote Do what makes you happy this week.

If you have a choice, go for at least 1 TB of storage, though, or you could easily hit the wall I've hit. Apple charges dearly for it, but I'm beefing up the swear jar for 2 TB. I have outboard SSDs rolling, but I miss my old iMac situation, where everything stayed onboard with no squawking. My mild case of Synth OCD prefers it. Its akin to the time I saw a hefty, multi-panel Serge synthesizer and immediately went "Aw, hell no!" 😛 Know your weight class! 2 Quote Do what makes you happy this week.

I'm super surprised, I thought it had been abandonware. They added some unique filters like the METALIZER. I don't want to further hijack an Obie thread for a Roland-ish softy but Sunrizer is worthy.

I'll see what I can find, would prefer 1TB indeed, even if all recording data and sample data will end up on some type of external raid systems, it's definitely a good idea to have enough space on the system drive.
