Arturia Origin Keyboard Demo - Sweetwater

[mineheadX1]

why is this so expensive ? you can buy a Prophet '08 for less... it's a cool interface to run their soft synths, should run about a grand with what looks like a nice keyboard, the sound is very thin and sterile, unlike the Arturia Laboratory that I have...very flexible, but just overpriced...

[ITCXTC]

Very Sweet but, how is a hot laptop running VSTs in Ableton controlled by a nice ($600) midi controller (my portable set-up) any different, other than the laptop setup is a shitload cheaper? Am I missing something this thing can do?

[stateofmindeu]

@ITCXTC What I like about hardware synths is the dedicated physical knobs (instead of turning virtual knobs with a mouse). And I like the "Frankensynth" options: Routing one synth's oscillator through another synth's filter etc. Whether that's worth the price tag? Hmmm...

[audiotrax2000]

@ITCXTC: Exactly. Very uninspiring, plastic sound here. I have free vst's that sound more interesting.

[musicroman]

Excellent

[musicroman]

I've one and can recommand this excellent instrument

[shaft9000]

ugggh...yet ANOTHER full sized synth with an external PSU...what the hell is wrong with synth designers today? DSI does the same lame thing: power-strip space-hogs that inevitably get lost or beat-to-hell after 10+ gigs.

@ThePukkadj

I didn't express myself correctly, sorry if I hurt your beautiful feelings.

What I'm saying is that synth makers should use analog circuitry in their products (mainly analog filters)...not just PURE digital DSP analog simulation. I became sensitive when it's about synth sounds so I too often hear "plasticity" coming from new synth due to serious lack of subharmonics (I owned more than 20 synths). I just feel sorry that it's so hard to develop rich sounding synths. Peace

[audiotrax2000]

@Aetila: agreed %100.

[blurr412]

Peace Sound Yeah....!

[Aetila]

In my ears it was a great disappointment...just another plastic monster VA...almost any vintage synth sounds better, I hate to say...stop making VA synths without warm analog filters!

[mattsynth]

Origin is a great sounding synth and easy to use but it has bugs. For a synth that has been on the market for over 2 years there are sure a lot of bugs crawing around inside this unit. Problems I had were cut off notes, jerky encoders and screen freezing. Be cautious very buggy, not 100% stable.

[ObiWonCannolli]

Seems pretty close to the design of my Korg Radias, interesting synth, the modular capabilities are what intrigued me most. Although for that why not use Reaktor? The joystick modulator looks flimsy. I feel like an X/Y touch pad is a better solution for this type of thing, although it does have the ribbon controller. I would like to play with one. It's hard for me not to arbitrarily desire anything shiny and knob laden with flashing led's, I'm such a gear whore.

[LesFarrington]

its a GREAT SYNTH. the folks posting on here however are truly amazing.

nalverde12.....so should ALL HUMANS ON THE PLANET SPEAK ENGLISH? im a Texan and proud american but fellow americans like you are giving the rest of the world that we are an arrogant and ignorant bunch...thanks alot

vladd001.....go look in the closet and find the shoe box that has your brain. perhaps you should wait until you have grown pubic hair before posting online. let the grown ups share this space .

[gippoandrea]

BEAUTIFUL...



[vladd001]

and you are nerd

[musicroman]

i'll get mine today and sun you'll find demos on youtube !!!

[navalverde12]

Oh damn polyphonic after touch with CS-80 emulation; it's VANGELIS TIME!

[vladd001]

does it play rock an roll or not ??????????

if not its a crap

[C4pri4]

@vladd001 Pff any & every idiots plays rock & roll. Just because you don't have the intelligence to use this doesn't mean it's crap.

[fizmo909]

frankincense? i wanted a myrrh synth.

[jsmith040184]

Very intriguing. Solid demo.

[elekibuumu]

One of the most creative and best sounding synth I’ve ever seen…

[neokuto]

Merci pour la démo...

mais n'oubliez pas la langue française...

discour en français et des sous titre anglais et c'était parfait ;o)

[GMafiozos]

@neokuto non c'est très bien comme ça, il est temps que les français se mettent à l'anglais...

[navalverde12]

@neokuto Why are French people so obsessed with their own language

[omnivorace]

@navalverde12

Because they think they are the center of the world. I know it, because I live with them...

[TheDLovas]

@navalverde12 why do americans get pissed when they have to press 1 for english?

[navalverde12]

@TheDLovas Because they shouldn't have to. 

[danielhl22]

@navalverde12 el Frances es un idioma muy bonito

[navalverde12]

@danielhl22 No its not

[omnivorace]

@neokuto

Et des sons, pad, percus, lead, etc. en français aussi ?

Tu sais comment font les Français pour découvrir le futur ? Ils apprennent une langue étrangère...

[WillTocaJr]

Would you buy this over the Prophet 08?

[Dogboy73]

@WillTocaJr No.

[francislalan]

@WillTocaJr Definitly!!

[hanibal207]

Wwoooowww!! really cool! The playing on the ribbon itself is something I've been looking at for some time. Too bad he didn't show the dual aftertouch, I still don't know what that is.

The Origin is the 21st Century Moog Modular. Sweetwater, keep me one!

[Yellosoul]

@hanibal207

He did show the dual after touch in the beginning..... Watch it again.

[CKnoxW]

Well, there's your Continuum Controller right there!

[DrChopz]

Those protruding feet are pure genius! You're right it's a combo screen panel/tie rack.

[Arthur60]

How strange feet protude from the screen panel, couldn't they automatically fold and blend into the screen when in upright position ?

Source of catching clothes, I think?

[Joggione]

@Arthur60 Yeah, you're right. That's the only thing ugly about it. Maybe they'll fix it on the next version.
