Because, frankly, I find Retrologue 2 superior in almost every way.Examigan wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 10:06 pmBesides the effects, why would it completely replace it? I never hear much mention of Retrologue 2 here on KVR.
Especially the sound quality of both the synth as such and the effects, not to mention the resonator section, do this on S1

It only cost me 10 dollars because a lot of people get it for free bundled with Cubase lite when they buy a Midi controller, so they sell it cheap here on KVR. But frankly, when S1 is still officially 140 bucks, Retrologue 2 should be 250
No idea why R2 is never talked about. Maybe because it is often considered a Cubase stock synth. And the GUI does look a bit old-skool and bland, which might deter some people. Not me, though
Anyway, back to Spire, here is a little audio, where the first half is Spire, unless your ears are broken, you can hear the grinding noise that is missing from the second half (Retrologue 2). It is a fairly simply pad derived from the init patch...
