Arturia OB-Xa V.

I edited my original post as I meant OP-X Pro, not OB-X.
Here is the video I was talking about:

Can anyone really tell the difference between hardware and any good software emulation now a days, especially once recorded?

Probably not from a YouTube video, maybe in the real world.

In a mix on a record? I don't think so...

The question for me is rather what is more fun to tweak and play. With a lot of software, I simply reach the limit of the sweet spot very often, and it can sound very ugly, while (good sounding) hardware seems to be one massive sweet spot, without the ugly spots.

When I take a look at the soft synths I usually reach for, those are the ones with the biggest sweet spot.

Watched the entire Bright Sparks documentary (both parts). Really excellent. Can’t wait for OB-E. Here’s hoping today’s the day. (It’s Tuesday where I am. If it’s Monday for you, I mean tomorrow.)

Can’t beat a 60 or 106 emulation for that but depends what it is for.

I would expect it out Tuesday afternoon UK time (where GForce are located).

Wouldn't it be something if there was another twist.
That is the OB-E was the second synth to come and something else is coming tomorrow instead.

Then we only need a Keyboard with polyphonic Aftertouch and Ribbon Controller!

I have a ribbon controller

But it doesn't behave anything like the one on the CS-80. I'm still mystified why so many years later that amazing approach to a ribbon controller isn't widely copied. Using most resistance based versions is a joke by comparison.

Gforce Software, something new is on its way...
