Gforce Oddity2

As is so often in these cases I am beginning to believe we are all right. What is happening with these new oscillators is they are sampling the wave form and then attempting to reproduce it by mapping the partials. This allows for pulse width by remapping partials with varying degree of sample depth. An emulation is just that, an emulation, that is not necessarily exact due to the "other" parts of the instrument involved...transformer, circuits, resistors, etc....

Awright, to settle this learnèd dispute once and for all: here's a guy trying to emulate a guinea pig. It might not be perfect, but it's still an emulation if there ever was one.

I totally disagree. While the interfaces look similar, the actual internal architecture is very different. The Guinea pig can have a very sweet warm nature with a bit of a squeak that's good for acid. Trump is very harsh and distorted with more of a barking sound like a dog with kennel cough. More useful for white surpremist metal.

Superficially, it might seem so, but the Trump is actually quite warm and fuzzy on the inside. With a brain the size of a peanut, his thoughts and behaviour go haywire whenever there are cameras and microphones around. Make no mistake: the Trumpster is good for acid, as well (quote Ivana Trump: "whenever I used to pinch his plump rump, the Trump, stumped, screeched like a limp frump").

I wonder if he got a hair transplant from an actual guinea pig now..

knowing him, he probably did.

Trump uses WAY too much resources, especially for what it does (almost nothing).

And it is incompatible with almost everything that it is not from the same company.

I heard from Gforce that the browser in Oddity2 is as it is because of backward compability with first version.

To call it a "browser" is stretching things just a bit... the one thing I truly hate about this synth. The rest is super cool... great sound, and very welcome mod options.

Unfortunately that also means it has inherited its bugs.

Almost all modern software synths are using single cycle samples as oscillators mapped across the frequency spectrum. It's that shiny new sound made famous by sylenth that sold so well. It's unofficially called "cpu optimization". It's also why most software synths won't modulate at audio rates. It's the worst and most annoying part about software... cpu optimization. The filter is all we got left. The matrix 12 and SEM is probably a newer filter but the same filter.

Modulating sylenth's osc's from an lfo @ audio range sounds really good
In fact it sounds better then zebra 's osc's modulated by lfo at fastest rate ( yep lfo slew is set to off )
This all has to do with the internal update/control rate of the control signals .

U-he hive supposed to be the sylentth killer , yet again ...fast modulation from the lfo 's sounds crap

Awesome synth. I've been on a minimalist quest and have managed to whittle down my gear to a Yamaha AN1x, a DX7II, a kurzweil, the little reface CS and Oddity2; oddly. Just one VST now and I have no desire to get rid of it. It's fantastic. Highly recommend it if you want just one software synth.

Highly recommend it if you want just one software synth.

Well, that really depends on what you want out of your one software synth...

[nevernamed]

Sure. And to be fair I have a bunch of hardware devices too as mentioned. There are other synths that could fit that role too of course. If you're on that quest to limit yourself to just one though the Oddity2 would be a worthy choice; or at least worthy of your consideration.

It has plenty of scope/tonal range and I think most people here will agree that it sounds fantastic.
