TAL-U-NO-LX. Uber accurate Juno 60 emulation.

[abernathy]

Hi, sorry if this has been covered in this thread already. Just bought U-NO-LX, and received a sn# but I have no idea how to use it to register the product. I'm sure it's blatantly obvious, I'm just not seeing it.

Thanks, Jon

Click on the Patch name to bring up pop-up menu - registration is in there.

Ha! Cool, thanks abernathy!

I bought U-NO-LX and I love it! I also have Diva, which is amazing, but U-NO-LX is like going back to "simpler times". Diva has so much rich analog body that it can be challenging for me to EQ in a mix - lots of blooming oomph-y sounds, if that makes any sense - and I'm just not an expert engineer! With U-NO-LX I can just start piling on tracks and everything sits nicely in the mix - like the ease with which the old NI Pro53 would sit in a mix, but with infinitely better sound quality. And the low-ish CPU hit is a nice relief.

Now for my complaints... The GUI is almost perfect, but... I would change the bizarre Gumby buttons, make the slider controls a shade darker to contrast better with the background, and lose the cheesy looking highlight on the top/right edges (or at least tone it down). The Presets selection is cumbersome, but I like the "Show Presets Folder" option - maybe I can get used to just copying my favorite presets into a User folder.

I'm thrilled to get this for $35, but it is well worth $70. I think there is much value in the simplicity of this synth, and I think that is one of the benefits of strict emulations - a nice clear focus. This has inspired me to revisit some of my fave simple synths: Oddity, PPG Wave 2.V (64bit versions please!)

Hi, is there any possibility of using MIDI and the plugin as effect to make a sequenced filter?

[Crackbaby]

Depending on your host there's a yes or no to that question. And if yes then it depends on your host how easy this is to set up.
Couldn't get much clearer, huh? :p
There's two ways: Either you sequence the parameter (automation value) or you assign the filter a CC and sequence that one. The latter way let's you use third party midi vst's such as those by InsertPizHere.
If you're new to this, it's not something you'll figure out straight away.

There's note2cc and cc-lfo's available. I know there's a company who has made a sequenced cc vsti but i can't remember the name.

Tip: You can also use the MUX to create a sequenced CC pattern: Use a Multi-Point Envelope and route that to a Modulation To MIDI CC.

Here is a MUX preset that does it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6z40az980nix8 ... erator.Mux

Plug-in MUX and drop the preset onto its front panel.

Hem... can I expect a 64 bits Linux version some day ?

Yes, it is pretty simple to use, feels human with those few, giant controls You can save presets by making a screenshot
Recently I tested another commercial, yet much more flexible synth. Sounded incredibly good. Unfortunately the controls and labels were so tiny, my eyes were hurting after half an hour of programming. Why are those plugin windows so small? Is that a VST standard?

Anyway, I finally decided not to buy U-NO, apart from the very good sound quality, its only benefits are simplicity and the arp. On a scale from 0 to 10 the sound quality is, say, 9, with TAL's Noisemaker it is maybe 8.5 or also 9, the difference is minute, in the mix simply indistinguishable. In terms of flexibility the U-NO-LX is way inferior. And I don't use arp's, anyway.
I guess I would have to be a die-hard Juno fan to buy this emulation, but I never even owned a Juno 60. Sorry TAL, but it seems there are enough people willing to buy it The music scene will be inundated with the Juno sound

Which synth does better emulation of Juno 60....this one or Diva?

[lionscub68]

This one, hands-down.

[fluffy_little_something]

I remember testing Diva the other day, never would I have thought there was any connection between Diva and the Juno 60, frankly. Any high-quality synth can easily do everything the Juno ever could, but that doesn't mean that there is any connection.

[HcDoom]

And that means?

Also, what other people think, this or Diva?

Actually, with the Envelope and simple note on, the filter could be triggered. Of course CC will modulate it. But as of now the LPF doesn't receive audio input. It's strange because both the level slider and HPF DO get input, and function as well. Chorus works also.

seriously, stick to judging biscuits not synths.
