Sure, that wasn't my point, my point was that I have a TON of vintage synth samples already and I suspect so do most people who have been doing this for a while. The NI product doesn't have the modeled filters either. Of course, the IK product doesn't have the cool preset morph which is about the only reason I use the NI product in the first place, well, except for pianos and organs, they're always worth sampling. Structure has some samples of the Xpander and one of the Jupiters, and who knows what else. I've lost count of how man vintage pads and leads and basslines or whatever are spread across all of my other sampling products. I also have no idea how many samples of vintage analogs are spread across my romplers.bigcat1969 wrote:Since the NI Vintage Synths were mentioned and I have them as part of Komplete I thought I would take a look at how the two compare. Between the NI Factory Library and Vintage Synths Collection and this there is little overlap. All i noticed is the MiniMoog in both. Also NI seems to be heavier on Electric Pianos and Organs.
Just for fun I went and grabbed my vintage audio sample CD of analog synths from the 90s with 650 samples of 24 classic synths and and a MasterBits collection from 1988 that has 528 samples from 12 synths and drum machines, some illegal. I don't even want to do a search of my sample drive for the words vintage and analog or Moog or Roland.
If you do this for a while you will collect vintage synth samples at no cost. The marginal value of new ones then is rather low except in rare instances.
And having all of that, I hardly ever use any of them. I do use samples of vintage synths, just nothing so ordinary as what's sampled in the IK product, or NI's product for that matter, I'm not singling out IK here, I'm making a general claim that I don't think sampling ordinary analog synths is all that interesting.
Here are the synths from zeroG's nostalgia.
