@electro, I agree with you re: pads, bass and leads, however the more real time modulations you have like aftertouch and note velocity does allow way more expression out of said leads and basses imho.
I guess the best way to please all is a simple way to disable aftertouch and velocity if the user chooses to do so.
I am finding way more uses for repro-1 because of its after touch, velocity and easy to configure modhweel modulations.

I knew they added last note priority, but I didn't know Aftertouch was also implemented on the reissue. Sometimes you do not even want velocity on a patch. Can it be turned off?

Is that the law? I thought a synth could be used for anything....

Monophonic restriction leans mostly toward bass lead.

I am glad Diva exists.

Here is a comparison between The Legend and a real vintage Model D. It shows a little of how good The Legend is as an emulation. To my ears, the differences are really small, if nonexistent. The same differences that somebody would find between two different units of a real Model D. Or between two slightly different patches in the same hardware or software. Or the same patch on the same hardware, played at a different time..

Nice, I will take them both.

Does anyone know if Synapse Audio will still honour the Rack Extension licence if I buy The Legend from Thomann?

Here is an old school style Electronica tune using Legend on all synth tracks:
(or is it hardware?)

Actually while doing factory presets for The Legend having the option for poyphony was quite nice. I have also done something like eg. an E-Piano sound that sounds quite nice.
Also some polyphonic Synth Brass sounds could be really cool with The Legend and there are also several other examples where this could sound nice with polyphony and there are multiple of those examples in the factory presets while there could be a lot of additional useful applicatioms than those. You could also easily turn the included monophonic presets into a polyphonic (or Unison) one that could lead to really interesting results. Not to forget that the poly mode has additional adjustable stereo width for the 4 voices. The Unison while resulting ion a single note could create some seriously fat sounds that could be great for basses and leads and not possible with a pure monophonic synth (real Unison always needs multiple voices).

Personally i never cared what a certain synth is intended to be used for which IMO is quite stupid anyway as such restriction is just found in the head of certain people. Synths like e.g. a TB-303 or JP-8000 were also not originally built for the genres that were craeted from them and they still could be used for other stuff than that. When doing sound design i also rarely care about certain genres, i normally just do the kind of patches i want to do or that the synth inspires me to do. When doing factory presets of course i also try to use certain specific features of a synth to show how they work.

A restriction that an emulation of a monophonic hardware synth HAS TO BE monophonic too is quite stupid too IMO, at least with software. Adding a polyphonic mode could always lead to interesting results with any synth that originally was monophonic. Opposing to a hardware synth adding polyphony usually does not drastically increase the cost of a synth as you do not have the extra cost of physical parts which with real polyphonc analog synths is multiplied with every additional voice.
Of course a poly mode should not interfere with the quality of the original monophonc mode and i do not feel that this is the case with e.g. The Legend. Those who want to use The Legend like in the original synth could just stay with using the mono mode.

The poly mode in The Legend was also implemented in a quite clever way so that 4 voices only use aroudn the double amount of CPU of a single voice or even less.

I am not against advanced features in emulations as long it is still possible to also use it like in the original synth which with e.g. The Legend is possible for sure. For examplöe teh classic presets that were re-programmed from teh patch sheets by Klaus P- Rausch (with his permission) only use the original features (also no effects).
