I seriously think I must have fallen on my head as a small child. I just downloaded Repro 5 and sad to say it is yet another U-he synth that I completely fail to see the magic that is no doubt about to be eulogised here (same with Omnisphere 2). I'm not being facetious here, I seriously wonder at my hearing, how I just don't get it for so many highly acclaimed synths.
And don't get me started on Eurorack...every day...I paid that much for this???

I am sure it is an authentic emulation of the original, but it makes me wonder if I would have liked the Prophet to begin with. Assuming that the Repro nails the Prophet sound, I would have had limited use for it.jacqueslacouth wrote:I seriously think I must have fallen on my head as a small child.

Add to that Repro's abysmal CPU efficiency and poor GUI, I will delete the demo version. But not after recreating the few good presets on Sylenth1. Just did that with the basic bass 1 patch, can you tell which is which?

What I can tell you is that the Repro CPU load was 6 times higher, which the sound just doesn't justify.

Straight up...nope! I don't have the subtleties of hearing (and admittedly certainly not the expertise in synthesis) to pick which one is which, and I'm pretty sure not many , if any could pick it in any kind of mix. As you say, the sound difference is not justified for the CPU tax.fluffy_little_something wrote:Just did that with the basic bass 1 patch, can you tell which is which?

I think Repro has a slightly tighter low end out of the box, but then again, I could easily fix that by turning on Sylenth1's equalizer.
I suppose my hearing is not that good anymore, either. Maybe I would hear more of a difference if I were 20 again. Then again, I am not, nor are the people I want to make music for, i.e. people 40+
I would be more interested in Ana 2.

I don't know which is which but the first one sounds a lot better to me.

Well, there is no rule for setting the init preset, why it should be the boring saw? Actually, in the case of Repro-5, it makes sense to have this specific pad as init as this is what people want from this synth in the first place, great pads! And no! Your Sylenth1 can't come close to Repro-5fluffy_little_something wrote:I hope you noticed that the Repro init patch is not as simple as with other synths, it is two oscillators
If you turn one of them to zero, it sounds just like any other init patch...

Any news/rumours about "real" (> the recurring 25 %) sales from the "new big ones":
- Rapid
- Avenger
- Lethal audio
Of course I would take Falcon or Omnisphere for a few euros too

Why "my Sylenth1"? I think you said you have it, too Nor is it about Sylenth1, it goes for any quality subtractive synth vs Repro. Sylenth1 and others do get close to the Repro sound if that is what one intends.EnGee wrote:Well, there is no rule for setting the init preset, why it should be the boring saw?

While there is no law for init patches, you seemed impressed by the init patch, as if it sounded better than other synths' init patches. But it's comparing apples with oranges and hence a bit unfair as most init patches only use one saw, which seems a kind of standard in the synth scene.
I made this Sylenth1 init patch which pretty much matches the Repro one, also using two saws:

Synthmaster, Arturia and others in now for the week.
I would probably pick up the Arturia 5 Collection but I'm planning on getting the Linnstrument next year and they have no plans to support MPE. I'll check out demos later, but it's difficult to justify spending almost $400 Canadian for it at this point.
