@thermalmaximum you must mean the one of paint drying?
-
@steveavison Yeah, I saw your video, really great!
-
@Marcy1Darcy Only problem there is that the MKS-80 is the guts of a Jupiter-6 in a box, not a Jupiter-8.

@vjrei The real magic happens when you use all six voices to make one sound, not just strict unison, but a six voice analog 'stack' with different sounds on every voice along with panning, etc. Very different from a Jupiter in unison (I have an MKS-80/MPG-80 to compare) It just depends how far you want to go, and what your goal is. The Xpander is a programmers tool, not an 'instant gratification' synth. -M

any daft bastard could do this,,,,

wow.. love this sounds..
-
it's poor . i hear nothing interesting. Play more energically !
-
Love the incredibly wet fart at 00:11
-
Yes . i had one. they sound good but too many options not enough nobs and i don't like the continuous dials. love the obx, ob1 and sem. 12db filters make me dribble at a cerain frequency. they're magic

You know... I believed I was the only one who think the Oberheim Expander and the Matrix 12 are way overrated. I mean, I haven't see anything WOW! about them. Probably they sound really strong, yes, but I rather have an access Virus Polar instead or Nord Wave to really do WOW things.
I haven't seen the first video in youtube with a real unusual sound or anything done with those synths. Poepl just repeat "they are the collest" but they just sound old and flat and are totally boring.

seems more "consistant" or full than any jupiter ? Worth it ?

Well. The sound is straighter. Its a bit colder as well. I Didn't have time to test the envelope syet (jupiter 8 is awesome for that to do some fast agressive basses).
But generally, I would say its more "interesting" and that you can make
more complex sounds as well.
so yeah ! if you can find one, go for it !

weird, it sounds like an 8bits synth ? Or maybe it's the sound quality ?
Nice tune at the end.
Another great piece of gear you have there !

yeah, it has this "stepiness" in the grain :-/
but also i sample at a low rate for the video
