Same bad style as all the other betatesters of the other synth.

I vote with my wallet and also tell the dev why I don't buy from him.

K. Thanks for letting us know, as usual.

Nah... Arturia's older synths sound meh compared to their competitors. You sound like the perfect Arturia fanboi. A tad ironic...

I like their newer stuff, however.

Even girls can be fanbois.

To be fair, I've been listening to some of the Arturia demos. And I do think this sounds good.

Buuut, I'm going to hold off until Synapse release theirs, and then pick the one I prefer.

I doubt I'd be disappointing with either of them.

Unless they release a demo and pricing before then I will just buy the Arturia because it sounds fine to me.

Which is what I've been saying which is why I think Synapse will lose sales if they don't release this soon. In fact, if you took a poll, I bet a significant number of people will feel the same way.

I'll not buy either, but eventually get OB-Xa through V Collection 8 or 9 whenever there are enough new additions to compel me to upgrade from V6.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if, when V Collection comes out, owners of OB-Xa will have an extra discount. After all, owners of FX Collection also got an extra discount on this, compared to owners of V Collection 7, and those get a better price than owners of earlier V Collections, etc.

Fingers crossed it will be out before then.

Possibly... I guess, it depends on how quickly Synapse release their version. My gut tells me that the Synapse version will probably a be a bit better (hard to judge without hearing a demo).

But I'd be happy with the Arturia as well.

Harsh, but, to each his opinion.

I listened to another sound demo of the original yesterday:

I think the stuff at about 5:35 shows well what the Arturia is lacking: Neither the resonance level goes as high, nor is the detail (non linearities) really there. Very curious if the Synapse emu captures that better.

[note: below statement is a biased personal opinion, NOT an assertion]
Very nice sound through the entire video. I can hear those properties that I can't hear in Arturia's emulation.

If it is "a bit better", Synapse will certainly loose some potential customers (me for example).
