Stop listening to demos and go PLAY one. actually program a sound, then make a comment.

Mine sounds great next to my Prophet 5....warm!

[TurkBack2]

Me too!

You're talking about Tara Busch, right?

[LeoNacht]

@ armalyte and nj1n

You obviously know more about these things than mr Smith or his researchers! Why not write to him?

And every other reviewer that regard these synths as great value and worthy updates. DSI are great value!

[Senj1n]

too expensive

[vjrei]

The girl is cute.

Dave Smith, Bob Moog my heroes

[armalyte]

As long as stuff like the xpander and even the radias are around, i can see why so many of these are getting offloaded onto ebay, both new AND s/hand. They soudn a bit tame compared to the originals, and my own analog synth collection does piss on them a bit. Theyre quite limiting in a way, cause although you have all those mod routings, etc, theyre not so easily accessible AND theres no true polymod a la old SCI products. They need to be about £1000 , not £1500 , which is too much.

I'm talking about the thing's basic character and sound though, not specific patches. Different strokes to different folks.

[argonnj]

That's because most demos consist of some hack twisting knobs, making sound effects and not really playing the thing.

[argonnj]

Prophet 10? Or in this case, a Prophet 16!

[Capeau]

both..

The kind of materials used influences clarrity and warmth of the sound (that kind of stuff)

And functionallity is more for modifying and manipulating the sounds in a larger overall way.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

yea i definitely think the nord series sounds enough like analog for me personally..

about the components, do you think it's like the kind of metal used or just their function & how you can patch them?
