Buchla 259e Twisted Waveform Generator for modular

[masterhiggins]

I don't have the Softube Modular but I am betting that its preset management is a thousand times better than the preset management in my Eurorack system....and I have long since given up trying to work out how much that has cost.

No, sadly, the preset management isn't much better than in a hardware Eurorack system.

Don't most modern daws have a patch management system?

Your reply kind of shows how clueless and frustrated you are.

well, Im definitely clueless as to any evidence supporting your alleged claim of specificity of one tool to some unspecified set of styles, but that's pretty much your fault for not actually providing the information I asked for.

Not sure how you managed to project frustration into it though. Maybe at the the usual 'only my toys are teh bestest' idiocy from yet another self-important wee twat?

[whyterabbyt]

you're the one avoiding his question... you made the claim... back it up

Could you help me find the questionmark in his post ?
It was not a question, but more of a sarcastic statement towards my post.

It was a request for you to provide information to specify details of your assertion, semantically equivalent to the question 'which styles are you talking about?' Questions are requests for information.

Not sure why you'd not get that, but I'll bear it mind in future.

Many have patch save/load functionality, but not that much management of it. Certainly can't think of anything with the kind of patch browser you'd find in a u-he plugin or Kore2 or somesuch.

I feel you, but this way the individual modules will probably keep some resale value and you can keep what you use and sell what you don't.

The resale value is going to be impacted by resale fees, which, given that these modules are individually iLok'd, is presumably $25 per sale.

Also, and Im assuming that you're too new to have noticed it, but at KVR its pretty hard to sell anything software for more than 40-50% of retail, lower still if its recently been, or regularly been on sale lower than its retail price.

The combination of those two factors makes me think that that resale value you're imagining is going to be a lot lower in reality.

Guy's use the tools you feel comfortable with and like using instead of bickering on the internet about things that matter f**k all, party on

I suppose I have no right to express my frustration when Softube releases a single module at a price close to the host application, especially when their previous modules were considerably cheaper. I'll make a note to myself not to express any negative feelings in the future, lest someone on the internet take offense.

here's my question. if ACE, which is old, is multi-core, then how come Modular, which isn't old, isn't multi-core?

here's my question. if ACE, which is old, is multi-core, then how come Modular, which isn't old, isn't multi-core?

Because it wasn't coded to use multiple core?

You gotta wonder though, why? Why wasn't it? Why wasn't there a browser built in?

I sometimes get the feeling that they rushed this out the door with as few features and optimizations as possible just to make a buck.

Maybe I'm wrong, but too many glaring omissions in this software leave me very skeptical.

Is the Buchla architecture by nature extremely complicated to replicate in software (and thus MUST have a high CPU load)? I only ask because Madrona Labs Aalto is also a serious CPU killer on my quad i7.

Maybe they lost the dev responsible for it. They have 6 jobs advertised at the moment, including these:

I think ACE gets away with it because it's only semi modular but several devs including Urs and NI have stated how hard it would be to make a fully modular synth multicore - which is why Zebra and Reaktor aren't either.

if we're talking commercial 4x4 techno (think snare rushes and woooooshes to build up to a drop, and lyrics like 'put your hands in the air'), which I think we are .... the assertions made here by Christian F re: softube Modular vs ni Reaktor 6 really are horse manure, and the onus is naturally on him to substantiate what he's saying especially given the manner in which he said it. Following up with a 'ya, well, that's just like ... my opinion man' is super weak.

carry on ...
