Or maybe you just don't know what's snappy.

Thanks for the good laugh !

Hey, I got another one : I have tried Sylenth1 and it's so good that no synth can compete.

How is it limited? It's got two oscillators with cross-modulation, the possibilities are, quite literally, endless.

chk071 wrote: Sun Sep 27, 2020 5:01 pmYes, I have a couple of soft synths with snappy envelopes. And I'm a big fan of them, that's right. Or... at least, I like them. And I wonder why there's so few of them, because I think it's a very favorable property.

Why? I tend to like a bit of attack in most of my synth sounds, even basslines. I bit of attack gives you that bass thump as the filter opens, which is accentuated more as you increase the resonance value. Unless you are using a ladder filter, in which case there is nothing you can do to get that bass thump.

I assume "limited" is the the new hipster buzzword.

anything can compete if you chain sausage fattener after it.

It is limited to other synths I own which cost the half of what Oberhausen costs regularly, and which do a 100 times more than Oberhausen.

Don't get me wrong, I like Oberhausen, it's just that it's... limited.

Now you gotta be kidding me.

A Minimoog is the definition of that bass thump you are talking about. It has a gazillion times snappier envelopes and filter behavior as well.

Horses for courses. It shouldn't surprise you though that the Oberheim's were rather famous for their pads than their snappy bass sounds.

Minimoog = mono
Oberheim = poly

i wonder why one is famous for bass, the other for pads....

bx_oberhausen... one of my criticisms in 2019 was the very high CPU consumption and the very high price (Diva is better in both areas). But without doubt, the bx_oberhausen sounds better than e.g. the Arturia SEM (the Arturia sounds rather thin). Was the CPU consumption optimised with later updates? With the price... PA is well known that you can only buy the plugins at special offers

Then the prices are no fantasy prices...

Competing with Diva... hmm... for me yes. I use the (Arturia) SEM much more often than Diva, because I like the easy programming and the sound. bx_oberhausen is even better and therefore certainly a candidate as a competitor...

Yeah the Obie bass sounds were pretty limited

Would not say the bass sounds of the Jupiter were much better than the Juno. Decent, but that was in the 80's about all.

The Roland drums, the horrible TB. They created the whole revival, not the analog synths lol. Most were digital. Nobody wanted analog. Until vsts came.. then suddenly people began to use the "magic" word "analog" again.

Not because of all those stupid synths but because of audio hardware. Kinda expensive stuff. Just marketing. All it is. People won't notice anyhow. The wish is the father of the thought.

All the rest is a suggestion. How someone perceives something. It's about air impressions. That's all.

Well... a polyphonic synth can do both. That was my point. That their synths aren't particularly known for their bass sounds, but rather for their pad sounds.

Best Way to use a Synth is to make it do Things it is not made for - and "Pads" are Not necessarily polyphonic anymore like the "Boomer Pads" have been

But look! A Squirrel!

Double

Can anything compete with DIVA or Repro in 2020?!
