Is it an additive kind of synth, it looks pretty versatile ?

Quite sensitive and spontaneous piece of music for me,... the part of the hybrid sax reminds me of the early Joe Zawinul's solo albums

Very, very good. Smooth and sensual. Great tune, great new synth.

hey Thanks..no..it's Physical Modeling, thus the name of the plug: Modelonia. so..its synthesis. No samples.These were only a few of the sounds. Luigi has been posting for a while some his ( and others) demo's as well. You can get plucked to strings, to horn and flute sounds. Very different sounding and not a VA synth at all..which is quite refreshing these days

oh..BTW, this was my first piece done in eXT ! Getting used to the sequencer. All this time, I was just using it as a sound design tool, and now discovered the sequencer ..where have I been??

TC - nicely done!

The more I hear of this synth, the more I want it

Will you be making the patches you used available to us mortals?

regards,
pj

This is awesome

Respect to both Liqih and Tim!

The lead thingy sounds more like a violin than a sax to me, but the whole thing is so fluid and expressive it doesn't remotely matter.. In fact the surrealness of the sounds adds to the eeriness of the piece.. They sound like exotic folk instruments from an undiscovered planet

actually..I was thinking this myself..the lower end sounds like a sax, then when you go to higher registers..its like a violin, or even harmonica

I really like the lead sound.... This is no way to keep my self-imposed ban on buying new soft synths!

a soothing ride, the lead play and work on the pitch wheel was exceptional,
very nice

Got to agree, I thought more harmonica, but a nice sound anyways.

Great bass and and flutish/harmonica sound, all around great track!!!

Tim as usual amazes me with his ability to get beutiful tones
from any new or old synth,

this hybrid sax harmonica he carved out of Modelonia is so sweet,

and you're also a great performer Tim, beautiful solo indeed,

thanks!

Yeah, I thought it was kind of sax, kind of harmonica . . . but also when it was played fast it sounded kind of like a harmonium. Very interesting. I really love sounds that sit on the edge. Like the Mellotron flute solos that Edgar Froese used in some old Tangerine Dream stuff--they sounded like real flutes, but then they sounded synthetic, being in both places at the same time. There's something magical about that. Same thing here.

Love it
