Synth Porn

Heh, I know, I just couldn’t resist the joke as in the movie the earthlings (Robert Duncan McNeill/Tom Paris from Star Trek Voyager) keeps calling it a cool new synthesizer.

What a weird and unique little synth. I mean I would never use it, but it sounds cool.

i just deleted that post, because what it looked like to me from the itty bitty thumbnail was a synthesizer made with vacuum tubes. but they’re actually just really tall ugly knobs :grin:

tube based 303-like thing with a Moog filter

Sounds good. TBH though the star of this thing is the filter and not the tube oscillator, IMO. That’s a nice sounding ladder filter.

My first and still one of my favorites. Arturia’s got a fantastic plugin that is just spot on. And also the Minifreak which is also a hybrid and is capable of all this.

OK already. Arturia’s V Collection install doesn’t create shortcuts to the standalone versions. Your post has finally motivated me to take the time to do that. Then I’ll have to run each synth, set the ASIO driver and resize the UI. Busy work x2 that I’ve been putting off. Perfect for an end-of-the-day burned out session. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I will be surprised if Behringer doesn’t pin this comment:

Actually if you like the idea of the Mini, their full Model D clone isn’t much more:

Hmm. Apparently Arturia just leaked they are making a DrumFreak.
