One thing about sylenth1 that bothered me was the tabbing between osc1/2 and filter 1, and osc3/4 and filter 2.

Synths with straight forward architechures like these should really show all oscs and filters at the same time. Extra envelopes and lfos should be tabbed before the main components. Just my opinion.

+1

I have not followed the hype about the new Hype ehm... Hive synth

Is there a release announced for this month?

The Hive isn't even released, and I got a coupon that expires in a couple of days

Not the promised V2 Sylenth.

Good

But why would urs hide that deep in a forum thread, instead of sending out a new e-mail, maybe he did and it also got taken by the gmail spampolice ?

Is releasing 2 Synths per year considered spam now?

When u-he sent the coupon first time, it got filtered out to my spamfolder.

Well, I guess it's a Christmas month, because Santa again comes home drunk late at nights with Rudolph, then follows this constant bs...
Love the synth on a door, though...

Virus is hardware, isn't it? When people say Sylenth sounds the best, they mean the best software synth.

Virus is "hardware" only because it's in a box that doesn't look like a computer. Internally it's all DSP code (software).

No, it's not. Not even close by a far stretch. Yes, I used to own a Virus TI.

Sylenth1 isn't close either, fwiw. It does it own thing (and does it really well).

Serum doesn't really put me in mind of a Virus TI either (well, at least no more so than any other synth does when you program an approximation of one of the more traditional and stereotypical Virus sounds). For one thing, Serum has more clear and hi-fi sounding oscillators. It's kind of startling actually how clear Serum sounds doing wavetable scans; they really appear to have raised the bar for sonic fidelity in wavetable scanning oscillators.

Back OT: Hive, of course, will also be a must-buy. Drawing on all the great work they've done in synthesis and effects the last few years, it will be interesting to see u-he's take on this kind of synth.

Those are input selectors. You can route any of the 4 oscillators (2 main + 2 sub) into any of the two filters. Filter 2 can also receive the signal from filter 1.

We've indeed tabbed Arpeggiator/Sequencer, Effects and something yet to be designed in the center display. We've also tabbed the keyboard control, Mod Matrix 1-6 and Mod Matrix 7-12. However, all voice and effects parameters can be visible on a single page.

That sounds promising, there are too few synths with two complete filter sections out there (one reason I am still stuck with my old Superwave stuff

). Do the two filters have independent envelopes as well?

Is it a parallel architecture with two complete synth lines like on the CS80?

I guess it's synth month because U-HE is finishing the new Hive synth
