eMastered ATOM synth

[Calandria]

this synth......omg. Checked out the trial;

not even a per voice Filter. Crappy Delay, no modpage, no PWM, no way to turn off velo, the presets are sooo simple, 2 lfo's with per lfo just 1 (!!!) parameter to mod, center screen is filled with an animation that is there for NO reason (AT ALL), not resizable, no fm, no pm, no interaction between the osc's, only 4 filter types, quite crappy reverb

for..............

189 dollar????????????????????? What the actual f***

In this day and age a Synth like that will still sell enough copies to reward the developer and preset designer. Everything works off hype these days and new producers are a good source for daylight robbery

I am afraid you're right...this thing should be freeware, or build in a DAW (natively)

[MCMorrise]

So here's my steaming hot take

[MCMorrise]

Ah. The exciter that is really a high shelf guy.

I forgot about that.

[exmatproton]

So here's my steaming hot take

couldn't agree more...

[Tekkera]

This is some ironic meta joke? Right? No demos, no reviews, no manual, no information on the "ai", GRAMMY AWARD WINNING, and has an extremely shady demo scheme.

You can't make this up

[Halonmusic]

Dont fall for it! Its a conspiracy!

[wagtunes]

Think about this folks. This piece of crap is $10 less than Zebra 2.

So here's my steaming hot take

Great job on your first (?) review!

Judging again from the Ableton user group I follow on FB, there are a lot of young producers out there who've only been exposed to a few popular products and really aren't very aware of what's out there. This must be for them - all marketing hype.

The Beats Headphones of synths

It's funny how we'll banter about on KVR about Dune vs Hive (sorry - that's better than Massive vs. Hive), or who likes u-he filters better than xlis/tone2/kv331, etc., but really, when someone new asks about virtually any of these company's products, all are crafted with love by their developers and certainly none are a blatant ripoff.

This product is kinda indefensible.

Also - wtf would AI do in a simple subtractive synth, and why would you want AI to do anything? If you're calling an algorithm that boosts bass lost to increased filter resonance, that's not AI. So does it reduce the reverb mix if I adjust the amp envelope release, or some weird undesirable thing? (still not AI)

I'd love to see that claim backed up by example.

Yes, my very first! Thank you!

I could not agree more. There are so many developers with a serious passion for creating quality material, people with real talent and real work ethic who surely deserve to be more famous than the A-listers pushing this $189 dumpster fire.

I'd love to see that claim backed up by example.

Frankly I'm half-surprised that nobody at eMastered bothered to talk about/demo the AI aspect. I say half-surprised because my inner cynic is convinced that there is not, in fact, any AI at work at all within ATOM.

I mean, I want to believe …

[BeeDog]

Maybe "AI" is the preset name for the visualizer that cannot be turned off?

[hangars liquides]

"as you change parameters within the synth, the AI KICKS IN"

[Unaspected]

If this had A.I.: As soon as you employ the horrible sounding distortion, it should turn it back down. When you try and increase the drive again, it should then turn the module off. When you try and turn it back on, it should grey out the whole module.

Then the next time you try and open ATOM, the AI should open Serum instead.

[Teksonik]

Is Crysonic back in business under another name ?

I don't know about Artificial Intelligence but you'd need a complete lack of Real Intelligence to fall for this scam.
