A synthesizer is for making a certain tone each one has it's own character. There is no one synth for it all. Bazille doesn't replace any because none sound like it. What really stands out about Bazille is it's so different to use than most in a fun way. The sound is so different to DIVA , Zebra and ACE which is another reason to own it and own others.

I am so glad that i have already purchased a license!
No out of pocket expense on release day! :party:

Well, what you might need to keep in mind is that we have 5 commercial synths and a bunch of freeware synthesizers in our portfolio. Part of what you may dislike about Bazille may be due to the fact that we create a lot of contrast between those synths in feature set, in sound and in factory presets.

It wouldn't have made any sense for us to copy the "musical" (in the traditional sense) presets of Diva or Zebra in Bazille. Bazille isn't nearly as good in emulating vintage synthesizers or any other form of realism as our other synths. Hence you won't find as many examples of such sounds in Bazille's factory library. Honestly, using Bazille would be overkill for many of these sounds - other synthesizers do a better job at less effort.

It's quite natural that many patches are sound effects, drones or rhythmic loops. While they might not fit your bill for your music, they might do for others, or inspire them for their own sounds. Having such a deep and diverse factory library is also about educating people to get the most out of those features in Bazille that no other synthesizer has.

The Hive might do just that. :P
Except it will still have twice the amount of controls of comparable synths... :D
:oops:

Berlin Modular is going to be a mixture out of ACE, Bazille and something else - exchangable modules in a rack style frame. The concept has evolved over the years and taken a few loops back and forth between "what's doable" and "what's desirable". In fact, creating ACE and Bazille, developing Diva's filters and switchable module architecture has all been effort spent towards Berlin Modular, which then spawned off into their own products. The project is so ambitious, unfortunately CPUs (and also GPU processing etc.) have not evolved as much in the bast 7 years as I had hoped. The time isn't ripe yet, but we're getting closer.

WOW! What an amazing synthesizer. The sound quality is just beautiful.

I said it once and will say it again.

You're a genius!

Over the years your work has just been getting better and better.

Keep going Urs! You've got thousands of FANBOYS just waiting and watching.

Thank you everyone at U-he for all your hard work.

Cheers,

Club Ho :clap:

I had a very brief explore of the presets last night. There are some really interesting sounds in there that i think demonstrate the unique character of the synth well. A lot of them sound pleasantly digital and very synthetic, some quite old school and some a lot more unusual.

I can understand why someone coming to this from Sylenth and Omnisphere may find a lot of the sounds underwhelming, but even some of the more bread-and-butter presets show some interesting routing and help demonstrate how sounds can be achieved in a less traditional manner. The use of effects seems to be quite moderate too, which is nice.

One request i'd like to make. It would be good to be able to set Bazille to keep HQ off as default. My cheap i3 struggled with a few of the presets, even with multicore on. I can imagine this may be a problem if i'm looking to add to already developed tracks.

Thanks Urs, I knew it wouldn't be here within a definable timeframe, but it's good to know it's still there in concept!

Still have to play with Bazille some more. Definitely more appealing to me than ACE btw.

THIS.
BAZILLE has got a unique architecture, bringing us where maybe only Aalto brings me in term of sonic territories. I don't understand people complaining about the presets... if you want something that sound like Sylenth1, then get Sylenth1. this is as crazy as people complaining that their guitar doesn't sound like a trumpet...
this is a synth made for experimenting, as far as i am concern.... if people want to concentrate on presets, get a rompler...
It's not what you use, it's how you use it...

I don't have the user manual in front of me right now, but try this:

right-click HQ mode and choose "Lock"

This locks the parameter so that it does not change while browsing presets. Works on ever parameter in every recent build of any of our plugs 8-)

would be nice to lock all parameters with on click, so we can unlock just a few for presets randomisation

That's perfect, better infact. :D
