In reality, I wonder how many users have owned or used the original hardware synths. That would be an interesting poll.

yeah, to vote, one would need to know all the Original synths and all the Arturia Emulations.

Don't they all sound the same? Seriously.

I have most of them, but the SEM is my favourite. Many of the Arturia synths sound great but I find the interfaces lacking. The Jupiter 8, CS80V and Prophet V all have really fiddly controls, which let them down. I personally would like an alternate GUI option on many of their products where they lose the on-screen keyboard and use the space to allow for larger controls.
My latest track uses Jupiter 8, Oberheim SEM, MiniMoog Original and SparkVDM (plus Audjoo Helix for the lead sound and a smidgen of Omnisphere at the end) - it's another Jean Michel Jarre-inspired track.

Pretty much. SEM is so far away from an actual SEM it's ridiculous. Not to mention Mini.Mushy Mushy wrote:Don't they all sound the same? Seriously.

They are all virtual analogues, but they each have their own sounds and architectures. I'm sure Vince Clarke could make every sound he ever needs with one modular system, but that doesn't stop him from collecting a multitude of synthesizers.Krakatau wrote:

I'm not a skilled soundsmith and tend to use presets with a little tweaking, so the more tools I have, the larger my palette is. Besides, it was fun to put together a track using just one instance of each instrument - just like if I'd been loaded with money 25 years ago and without a multitrack recorder...

Where is the "none of the above" option?
I think their Prophet VS model is decent. And it's purdy.
And if their interfaces are lacking, that would mostly be because the interfaces on the hardware are lacking.

Well, without frankly disagreeing the best would be to have ALSO an Arturia's emulations user's opinion ?

How about an andrew71 inspired track?andrew71 wrote:it's another Jean Michel Jarre-inspired track.

Used them, then played real things. Arturia's "emulations" are a far cry.Krakatau wrote:EvilDragon wrote:Pretty much. SEM is so far away from an actual SEM it's ridiculous. Not to mention Mini.Mushy Mushy wrote:Don't they all sound the same? Seriously.
