I think they're running out of "vintage" keyboards to emulate!

They got the Steiner Parker filter for the MiniBrute

Why can't they go further and do a Synthacon V emulation too?:

Maybe because neither of the two people who bought one is willing to let Arturia play with it.

I hadn't heard of this synth, though vintagesynth.com is one of my bookmarks on my Firefox toolbar. I'm always at that site, checking out...well, vintage synths...yet, I still hadn't heard of this one. And I see you'd mentioned that The Doors used it on American Prayer. I'll listen for that tonight.

I see the price is advertised on the Arturia website ..., but still not available ...., I wouldnt write this off yet , actually im keen to try it .

I just downloaded the martinic V (havent tried it yet though ) , and size wise , the download was only a few Mb's ..., It definitely would not have round robin or many velocity sounds variations at all , and I bet the samples are only 16 bit also

Hmm, do you guys think there's any sort of connection between Arturia releasing this one and the free Combo V disappearing from the developer's website? Perhaps they bought the code from Martinic or he even worked as one of the devs for the Arturia plug?

I found that interesting, too. I don't know if there's a connection, though. Arturia has their own developers...and Martinic's code isn't bloated as Arturia's usually is.

You can still find a previous version of the Combo V, even in 64-bit. It appears he took it down recently, though he doesn't seem to say why.

Reading the Arturia website it appears they started from scratch:

We started by modeling the circuit designs of the classic and rare Vox Continential 300 dual manual organ and captured every nuance of the original down to the key contact timing and background noises. This gives you all the smooth mellow tones and that cutting hard tone that the Vox was known for.

We did not stop there however, we also acquired a rare Jennings J70, which Tom created after he left Vox. We then added a Jennings J70 mode to the voice engine. You don’t just get 1 rare organ but you get 2 ultra rare organs in one software.

But Arturia might have obtained some kind of "copyright" of such a Vox model, and then enforced that on Martinic?

Well...I don't know. If anything, Martinic's was out first, long before Arturia even talked about doing something like this. And unlike some of the recent Roland copyright issues over the patches, modeling a real-world instrument is not the same as sampling patches someone else created...and then selling those patches yourself.

(Speaking of "Jennings", has anyone heard this from Rhythmic Robot? http://www.rhythmicrobot.com/page0/page ... index.html

Listen to the demos and read what they say. These kids love the synths they sample, and it shows in their descriptions and sounds.)

Yeah, it is just a speculation. Martinic would be the one to say for sure why the instrument was withdrawn, does he (or she, or they) visit this forum?

I don't know if he ever did, but he lists the fixes in each version on his site. However, he said nothing there about why the "V" was gone. I didn't ask him for a previous-level version; I just went looking for it. Actually, I liked it better than the "F" (I think that was the other one).

You're talking out of an orifice not commonly used for vocal expression.

Martinic's Combo V is modelled and not based on samples. So "round robin" and "16 bit samples" is just evidence of complete ignorance. Sheesh…

Martinic used to post quite frequenty. My guess (pure guesswork, no whispers from the horse's mouth) is that Arturia realised that their Vox would be a hard sell against Theo's superb emulation and that they made some sort of deal, hopefully mutually advantageous.

Mum's the word, though.

Just a precision: all the instruments and effects of this website are for Reaktor 5.9.

But they are known to be excellent.

Yeah, I know, but they will work for 30 minutes sessions in Reaktor Player too
