How many other 'moog emulations' have bandpass and dual/single-pole filter options, by the way?

Hopefully price will be €69, with a half price intro offer, and then I seriously will consider investing.

I got Skanner XT for free last year, and Razor for €10, as I had some spare vouchers to use, so I guess it is about time to fund NI a bit too

I'll wait for tutorials on how to make it switchable mono/poly

If they do want to stick to original as much as possible, then they can make it switchable from mono to poly and say, that if you turn poly mode on, don't expect it to act like a Minimoog, that's it.

Really like the demo 'First day of NU school' on NI's site - love those Roy Ayres type sounds.
I had the Creamware Minimax which was good, but I got rid of it when I got a Moog Phatty. I miss the polyphony of the Minimax.
Wonder what the price of it will be and if NI will give it a poly/mono mode in an update.

For one thing, it will get you kicked out of KVR. Your behavior in this thread makes me think you'd best review KVR's rules if you want to keep posting here.

[edit] After reading back over your posting history, I think reading the rules won't do you much good. You've been making pro-piracy posts for some time without getting reported (not to mention flouting the rule concerning civil behavior), but this time you got called on it. [edit: By more than one person, at that.] Too bad.

Thanks for posting that... I like the page B. It is a good collection of subtle but useful controls. A couple of them should be on page A though.

I wish more synths had curve control for pitchbend.

Where are presets stored and loaded from? I see no mention on the GUI of presets.

Presets are stored as per usual in Library/Presets folder. And for your own presets, in User Library/Presets folder. It's like that for all Reaktor Player ensembles.

Oh, of course... I had forgotten it was not an independent synth... Thx

I said it sounded pretty analogue. Might have to try this out to compare with the minimonsta.

As the arp-hound I am, I am missing a simple little arpeggiator on page B

At least it's not a problem to drop an arpeggiator instrument and connect it to Monark. It's Reaktor!

Reaktor's preset system sucks though - I prefer to use snapshots still. It's only really of any use if you use the Player version.

.....but in Reaktor Player?

IMO it looks a bit limited compared to other (similar) synth and I don't like the Reaktor thing. The description says it "captures the pure organic sound of the undisputed king of monophonic analog synthesizers".. so we are in the Minimoog department, right? We will see a lot of comparisons between Diva and Monark

I think this could be solved by using Mutools' MUX.

something new from NI
