I proudly inform everyone that the pilot episode of my humble Tyrell N6 Quick Tip YouTube video series is up on YouTube as of last night. Please check it out. Any suggestion or critique is welcome.

The first episode is about the VCA1:PAN parameter.
Here's the link to the video:

Hope you'll enjoy it.

it sounds ok, but i like Charlatan better for its much better CPU efficiency

LOL. They're not even comparable, Tyrell can do more things. And sounds better, too, especially the filter.

They do seem quite a bit different.

How long have you been using Tyrell, layzer?

Both Charlatan and Tyrell N6 sounds great but N6 can do loads more.

Yeah, I agree. They're simply different.

it only sounds better because of it's onboard effects.
pair charlatan with TAL chorus LX and you have a much more CPU
efficient synth that sounds just as good. regardless of EVILDEVIL's opinion.

i demo'd it a few years ago and quickly discarded it, and went with other
synths that were much more CPU efficient.

Sure. I agree. Charlatan is cpu friendly and sounds great. Tyrell N6 is heavy on the cpu, but can do a lot more. I use charlatan more for its cpu friendliness and that its quick to dual in sounds you want.

Charlatan simply doesn't have features like hard/soft sync, unique filter capabilities, cross modulation, mod matrix, quasi 5-stage envelopes... Every basic feature on the Tyrell seems to be a bit augmented compared to the Charlatan. Now, I'm not saying that the Charlatan is a bad synth, it's just simpler, more basic compared to the Tyrell.

Pretty much. There's no reasoning with that guy...

Charlatan doesn't have half the features that Tyrell has: loopable envelopes, one more LFO, hard/soft sync, ringmod, mod matrix, filter spread parameter, duophonic mode, and its filter is not exciting at all... It is no contest. But sure, if you have a crap machine like layzer, Charlatan is "better". But it isn't. It doesn't sound "just as good", that's a fallacy. Even without effects the sound quality of Tyrell is just on a higher level.

It's like comparing a Fiat and a BMW. Both will get you from point A to point B, but you will have a helluva lot better drive in the BMW, even if it will use more fuel to do so - it's totally worth it.
