That's cheaper than I thought it would be. The M12 retailed at $6400 in 1985.

M12?

Anyway, it seems very expensive for what it is. Even if i could afford it it (obviously i cant) i would be looking at alternatives. I guess being poly ups the price, but i'd prob opt for an Andromeda.

Still, its good to see new stuff coming out.

Oberheim Matrix 12.

I'm not sure that I agree that the A6 is a better value. That remains to be seen.

Yep.

I have no idea why people keep deleting their posts. Can someone please explain it?

He's talking about the sonicstate video, not KVR posts. It's still available on the previous page, or linked from vimeo in this article.

I thought he was talking about your posts....

Want - that is the most beautiful analog polysynth I've seen since Andromeda.

It sounded like "he=higgins" thought that LimboLoves was talking about KVR, he=limboloves wasn't, LimboLoves was talking about the missing video. I think that pretty much covers it.

The ladder filters sound great as well. If one has the budget, it's a nice toy.

How is it expensive for what it is?

The Andromeda was £2.5k when it was new nearly 15 years ago.

This is a bespoke 'no compromise' new hybrid polysynth. Even a Virus is £2k new these days.

Compared to a Venom though, sure it's a lot of money.

Correct. It's hard to keep track of conversations when huge chunks of it are missing. A couple of people do that and I couldn't really think of a good reason. It's not like anything inflammatory is being said. Sometimes it's something like, "I like ice cream" and then 20 mins later it's deleted. Just curious.

People tend to remember the blowout prices.

It IS a lot of money, but I don't think that it's overpriced. It's about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cheap sedan. A Prophet 5 cost more than a cheap sedan when it came out.

didnt realise a Virus was a bespoke 'no compromise' new hybrid polysynth...

compared to a venom, my car was a lot of money, my compound mitre saw was a lot of money, even my minbrute was a lot of money, but the venom has paid for itself several times over... whats your point?

For a well made quality instrument it isn't. There are plenty of guitars that cost a lot more.

Not at all relevant to the price of a new synth

It isn't, and I never said it was

What is the point of your Venom having paid for itself several times over? My copy of Sylenth has paid for itself more than 50 times over. So I win

New British hybrid polysynth on the way!
