If you are answering to my post I never said they sound the same, my point was that old VA codding is not that interesting soundwise and somewhat boring, just like the first VSTs that started to appear at the end of 90s. Of course they are interesting in a nostalgic way but I doubt they bring something new on todays table. Most hardware VA sounded weak and sterile even in the 90s how these can be interesting by todays standards. Thats a mystery to me. KVR has already 700 synths in it's base and they are all dsp VA
Must admit I really like the rawness of Nord Lead 1 sound but without emulating the whole inner hardware sound path I'm rather sceptical about the Nord emulation, we'll see if I get the same impression as with hardware while testing it on release. Video posted earlier is meh

i tried this. i don't understand the hype. 99% of the presets sound like sh*t. i waste hours to find useable sounds for production. there are only a handful, not more.

this trashy dinosaur synths are absolutely no match for serum, vital, surge xt etc. in term of good sound.

only my opinion.

 

To me even V-Station is essential, because there is a feel there that I don't want to be without, and it's not available elsewhere. It's all feel, and resonance. We really shouldn't care what other musicians feel, when making decisions. How is that even gonna work? Intellectualizing feel? Dead end babyee.

 

Even the same for Vanguard (1 or 2) which was never (so called) hardware. That's an essential flavor or seasoning you want on tap. Or I do.

 

I just wanted to ask the code gods how things were going on the Novation line. Thank you. It's on my mind every hour of every day.

 

I have installed and listened to almost all virtual software synthesizers, and of course deleted them again, but the V-Station has exactly what others don't have - a unique sound. As you say, you feel really comfortable and the beautiful blue calms the nerves, which is why V-Staion is one of my top 30 best-sounding software synthesizers.

 

Yes indeedy. IMHO, or for me, a good synth could possibly be rated by the numbers of soundsets that were made for it.

 

Attached are 2 photos from my collection.

 

I shall reflect on this today.

 

This is spooky to me. It makes me want to run and hide with my cats with one of their blanket cloths in a cardboard box. Many options here. Anyway, there was one true "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU -- IN A COMA??" moments (talking to myself of course) and that was X-Phrase. I am attempting to try it out today. For that I am grateful. Also please note, I believe there is an x64 of JP6K now. EDIT X-Phrase will inspire me greatly. Just this one win makes my day so thanks again.

JP6K is a virtual synthesizer dedicated to emulating the famous Super Saw sound, first found in the Roland JP-8000 synthesizer in 1997. It aims to capture the essence of the sound and the behavior of the original oscillator. Even after decades, the Super Saw is still an important tool for producers and musicians all around the world, and is a crucial part of many kinds of electronic music!
JP6K is available as a 32 and native 64 Bit VST instrument for Windows.

I am blessed beyond measure. They are pro patches. I just heard a few.

 

OK. Now I know who you are. More or less LOL. I have used your stuff for Largo and Harmor, most memorably. I am sure many many more. Very impressive contributions to the synth world. Extreme. I have to close out now and get down to music, but I just now auditioned your Navira bank. Simply top notch. (That's a great sounding synth too.)
