The Legend

Post

Looked for a thread for it, couldn't find one.

Was highly skeptical about it, doesn't even do PWM, played with the demo, caved and bought it.

FML :dog:

Seriously, though, the way the oscillators beat each other off, sorry, I mean beat off eachother, or rather, beat against eachother... *sigh*... OK, let's just say detuned oscillators sound amazing. I often find that even excellent synths sometimes have a harshness when you play stacked oscillators at a moderately high pitch - it's almost like inter-modulation. Doesn't happen with this synth.

Nothing will replace Diva for sound design - I've learned so many awesome tricks you can do with that synth, but The Legend is so well optimized and it Just Sounds Good. Simple setup, but there's quite a bit you can do with the overdrive and symmetry adjustment of the filter model.

Apparently I did, despite looking back three pages from the front of the Instrument board and completely missing it :clap:

You can do PWM using a saw and a ramp in opposition to one another and slightly detuned. It's an old trick and admittedly you don't have much control over it, but it does sound nice. There's a factory patch that does exactly as I describe.

Yeah, it goes "through zero" (total phase cancellation) but it's a good trick to know. I also noticed you can get some mild PWM using oscillator 3 as a pitch modulator and finding the right ratios. The settings in the attatched pic work well.

(so apparently by "the right ratios" I mean detuning the mod oscillator from the sound-making one slightly :hihi:. But experimenting with other ratios like fifths and suboctaves produce some interesting results, as does turning off keytrack - a cross between PWM and ring modulation almost).

Turning up the mod oscillator into the mix can also create some interesting effects - even if it's in LO mode, as it adds DC offset and messes with the filter's drive symmetry.

Nice idea! I'll have a play with that :)

Ehm... yes... any more convincing conspiracy theories though? :P

this is more like an infomercial thread.

seems to me like the op got a copy of the plug in return for promoting it
Well thanks. Thanks a lot :?

I thought I had a pretty good reputation around here. I do my reviews at a certain website with full disclosure, and have been told my reviews are both objective and technically accurate from a music making standpoint. You are now accusing me of being a liar and a shill for simply enjoying a product that I paid for and (heaven forbid), sharing my experience.

Thanks for reminding me why I stopped coming to KVR.

EDIT: Ok, I'm not going to replace what I said with something else, but I will say, there was no need to tar the entirety of KVR with one brush. I get bummed out on matters of honesty quite quickly and tend to over-react, especially when it comes from left-field, for seemingly no reason. But obviously sometimes someone WILL think there's a reason, even if it's clear to most there is not.

Treating enthusiasm with a knee-jerk "shill!" reaction just seems hella jaded to me, just because I missed the flipping main post for the product.

I missed the original threads (here and Gearslutz) on this too and only discovered this two days ago. Neither thread title used the words Minimoog, so I just kind of ignored them. The Gearslutz thread was in a dance sub forum, and not in new products, so easy to miss I guess. It wasn't until I saw mention of The Legend being better than Monark in another thread that I found them.

Maybe some people already forgot the simple joy of having a new toy to play, a good one at that.
Well, too bad for them.

hi sendy, i love your reviews, they are informative and unbiased. i would even go so far to say that, more than one time, they helped me to make a buying decision. please keep up the good work :tu: :tu:

Numanoid's comment ''seems to me like the op got a copy of the plug in return for promoting it'' is out of order.
''seems'' isn't good enough to justify making such a slur.
And even more so given that many of us know about Sendy's honest reviews.

As usual, numanoid bases all his posts on 'facts' :lol:

Such a drip :roll:

I didn't realize my comment should create such heated feelings.

If I was to take every negative comment aimed at me like this personally, and there have been many over the years, most of them unjust, then life on a forum would be hard.
