Finally, a real, listenable and beautiful demo of the Hartmann Neuron! Thank you!

[polysix66]

Thanks!

What technology does this synth actually use? Additive? Analog? FM? Physical modelling? Sampling?

[polysix66]

Resynthesis. Take a look at hartmann - music dot com!

This sounds fantastic and makes me want to search out the VS version (I wish I could afford the full keyboard one although it's less reliable and not supported anymore). Could you tell me if the performance you just played is repeatable or is the neural network randomly creating the evolution of the pad? In other words would the sound behave and sound differently each time you play it or could you recreate a performance to get a consistant result?

@davedagreat69 Hi! The movement of the sound is caused in the stick animation which changes parameters repeatedly, the effects delay, reverb and the slicer (stereo animation). It's not really random but the different lengths of the stick animations give a kind of random. The sound is fundamentally repeatable, but it's difficult like it's on all synths with a lot of parameters. The models You can load into the Neuron are the most important sound forming components. It's like a sample You load.

@TheDLovas synth1 and TAL's juno 60 emulation are both free and could both pull this kind of thing off - not with one patch obviously, but easily with a few layered tracks and some reverb/delay/bit reduction. it's the end result that matters most, not the complex synthesis and programming that goes behind it, and i just haven't heard anything that captivating out of this synth. it's a unique sound for sure but doesn't seem at all worth the hefty price tag.

@shayeasy i didn't hear white noise once here. btw i love it! VERY nice sounds

@shayeasy Not like the price tag matter, you'd have to find one first.

@polysix66 I really which somebody would remake this thing, or upgrade the vst for surround sound, nothing quite sounds like Hartmann's neuronal synthesis.

Neuron is a unique device. Not for everyone and not for all musical genres. You can transform your own aiff samples, so it's flexible as well.

Nice work !!! : )

You should make some sample CD's . . .

Very cool demo, thanks for the post.

@shayeasy dude not at all - this synth is capable of much more than just that - and if the quality of the recording was better it would sound much better as well - name 1 free synth that could do anything good sounding.
