Proxima - Synapse Audio

[zerocrossing]

.... I'd say its analog modeling is also a step up from Multi/Poly as well, but that's because it's a lot more synth....

Curious to know what you mean by this.
Of course one is based on an actual hardware unit and the other, well hardware but virtual.

I feel like Proxima is doing a better job with the analog oscillator emulation, where Multi/Poly oscillators have less character to them and sound more like basic high resolution digital waveforms. I haven't directly compared them yet, but I'll go into more detail when I get into my studio later.

I will say for def there will not be any money off Proxima this year. Richard and Co would not do over the early customers like that.

Ok Dave, you know best.

Can you do super saw with this one? I looked on ui but it doesn't seem like you can stack unison etc

Yes.

Can you get jiggy with the envelopes like really clicky kicks and basses etc like modern sounds but with more vintage sound

Yes, the envelopes can go very fast and consistent. You can also set the oscillator starting phases using the mod matrix.

Oh okay do we know how many unison voices there are

6, but you can mute any voice, so 2 - 6

oh ho, very cool time to get the demo

It was actually between this and the Korg Multi Poly native. That thing sounds great to me, but so does Proxima and it seems much easier to use. And quicker.

Proxima is way easier to use, but also much simpler. I'd say its analog modeling is also a step up from Multi/Poly as well, but that's because it's a lot more synth. If you're looking for basic vintage analog sounds with a bonus mod matrix, there's no doubt that Proxima is the way to go, but if you want to do more interesting synthesis, it falls far short of Multi/Poly.

Absolutely- I'm not heavy into synthesis or sound design and I get a lot more enjoyment from easy to use synths so in this instance Proxima wins. I think they're both excellent in terms of their sound though. Literally spoilt for choice these days!

no this not synth for me not really like the supersaw or the envies. tbh. i like also setting for phase reset on osc like sylenth1, retrologue etc. (simple!)
but, it presets sound very nice i like for many people to try. very very good sound quality.
but just not for me.

You can also set the oscillator starting phases using the mod matrix.

thank you for that but i already has read this =)
thank you for you time.

(ps. if not is clear, i not want use a mod matrix to reset a phase it should be on osc section for me not an extra step for a mod) bUT THANK YOU JUST IN CASE

Of course. I was just pointing out that both instruments have different properties. I love both of them, for different purposes. Honestly, I think it’s silly to compare them. Proxima has more in common with Repro than Multi/Poly.

Yeah I guess they're two very different tools. Perhaps my bringing up of the Multi Poly in this thread doesn't make much sense, it was more in the context of what I was considering for a purchase. In the spirit of comparisons though I tried the demo of Repro and, well, I'm still going to go for Proxima!

At some point, you just end up getting a somewhat different flavor of the whole thing. Like trying to pick which breakfast cereal to buy. Eventually you will realize that they're all just combinations of corn, oats, wheat and sugar. You've got to be crazy to buy them all... like me!

Muesli enjoyer, I take it.

What's the difference? The Mod Matrix is on the front panel, just as accessible as the oscillator settings. It's one of Proxima's beast features, I think.

Becos it was confusing to how to reset phase it was not clear for me how to do it. I assume velocity in left row phase reset other row but turn knob left or right it was no clear for me what it did by listen only. I like just a single click (Sylenth1) or a degree knob and setting (reset, free, random like Retrologue 2)
I dont like very much it synth but it's OK there many other out there

[seafire]

Why would velocity reset the osc phase?

English clearly isn't your first language, but it does sound like you're not really sure what you are doing.
