"Something new this way comes. The culmination of several years work."
To me it sounds CS-80 / Bladerunnish, so I'm guessing either something Yamaha CS-related, or possibly even a software GX-1...
Edit: Teaser shot (reminds me more of the Roland CR drum boxes).
Also: Mac + Win on launch

Or a Windows version of OB-E.

Indeed, that does NOT sound at ALL like a CS-80 to me. That sounds like string and horn samples.
Maybe something with a Mellotron vibe, but "modern" orchestral sounds?
And, yeah, the rotary knobs must be a clue. In fact, if they didn't specifically say "software synth," I would have guessed this was a channel strip or pre-amp or something, since that's what the knobs look like (to me).

The video says "another first in software synth emulations" which tells us right there it's not a CS-80.
The rotary knobs, hmm....the GS-1 had some knobs I think, but its' already been emulated as well (by Xils)...

It was more the track seemed very Bladerunner-esque to me. If so, I'd veer more in the GX-1 territory than CS80, and that would be a first...Introspective wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:04 pm Indeed, that does NOT sound at ALL like a CS-80 to me. That sounds like string and horn samples.
Well, it does say "software instruments" quite prominently in the teaser...Introspective wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:04 pmAnd, yeah, the rotary knobs must be a clue.

Depends what the marketing message "first" means. Could be the first to do it "properly"...? But I agree, I think it's unlikely to be a CS80, just an initial thought based on the audio. Same for another Oberheim, like the OBX, which Dave has had in his studio recently...
The screenshot image doesn't really tell me much either...

Guess if it's Mac only, then yeah, there'll be complaints.

Some good guesses on YouTube comments - and image matches the looks but if correct not sure I'd count as an instrument ? Still looks exciting though
I wondered if one of the EMS synths based on photo of controls - but the effects guess on YouTube looks much closer in looks when I googled image of one

I thought you were guessing like the rest of your post. Don't see any PC info in the trailer.beely wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:30 pmI already said it's not in my first post (confirmed by GF).Mr Arkadin wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:19 pm Guess if it's Mac only, then yeah, there'll be complaints.

Yes they are, it's coming soon. Right after this release would be my guess.
