[PlayClubSoundZ]

would u recommend this for house music and electro dubstep rap electronic music

[keybdwizrd]

@PlayClubSoundZ Yes

[freezazoid]

can you choose how many voices you have running... let's say I just want it two-voice? Or if I want it 4 voice?

[keybdwizrd]

@freezazoid Offhand I don't know the answer to that, and don't have my P08 set up right now. It seems to me that you either have it in 1) eight-voice poly mode, 2) eight-voice stacked mode (four note polyphony with two simultaneous patches), or 3) unison mode (eight voices on a single note). But I could be mistaken.

[GaryChoader]

@keybdwizrd That's how I understand it. What I find confusing is that a few of the Preset programs activate 2 voices at the same time. I don't know how to build that into a new patch. I've been looking on the forums with no luck.

[keybdwizrd]

@GaryChoader You need to use the stack and split functions.

[AhhThatGuy]

ahh how dare you play such orgasmic sounds! this video should be flagged! Seriously though that Tarkus sound - felt exactly like ELP. Wish I could afford one of these, does anyone know a good alternativ,e for maybe a half or third the price?

[raizumichin]

The prophet 08 has a "slop" setting wich quite litteraly makes the oscillators sloppier, wich gives them some more of that drifty sound.

[kurokuragawa]

Great. I want one.

[stryker1999]

Darn it... now I have to get one of these. Of course, this is a good thing, except for my wallet which will be yelling at me for two weeks. ;D

[LithiumJack]

2:00 Nobuo Uematsu is that you?

[DuaLeaD]

@keybdwizrd No, I think you're right....That's all I've been able to get....Although in stacked mode, I believe you can have one layer with 4-voice unison and have 4-voice polyphony in the second layer....Not sure though...I will have to mess with mine today ~_^

[Nuub95]

beginning sounds bit confusing with headphones :D

great demo, thanks.

[hoggy82003]

The problem with your demos is that you're too good a keyboard player!

What I mean is that, like a good pianist who can make good music even on a bad piano, you can make any synth sound good because you are an amazing player and improviser.

I'm convinced that you would be able to do a good demo with a crappy Casio.

So, unfortunately, I cannot appreciate the intrinsic qualities, or lack of, of the synths you're playing...
