I played around with the vocoder a bit today, and came away impressed. I always had trouble getting good results with the BV512, but I quickly got something usable with Parsec, just from a saw>square. I ended up with a sort of vaguely Vocaloid-esque result, sort of like the voice in Sad Machine by ...

I am definitely seeing that there is a lot of positive opinions of this synth, and so far it seems like everyone is in agreement that it is more of a top/high freq synth that can be fairly harsh. But oddly, nobody has talked about it being a solid vocoder or not. Has anyone ever messed with its voco...

And now I have figured out the source of the issue - For some reason "Multimedia" was selected in the ROG AudioWizard (I did not even know I had this), so at this point the problem has been solved. Thank you so so much for getting back to me, you jogged my memory by testing the audio source within R...

What if you import in Reason the audio file you exported and play it soloed? Does it still sound dull? If I import the song back into Reason, though a bit compressed (which is to be expected) it sounds back to being great and is no longer dull. How do you play the exported file (which player)? Does...

Alright, so I am not quite sure what in the world is going on. When I hear my song in Reason is sounds fantastic and full. When I export the track out of Reason, it sounds incredibly metallic and dull. Any ideas what is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks everyone for the responses! A big issue/selling point of this is the built in vocoder. I did not get to try this out when I trialed it back at Parsec's launch, so does anyone have any info/feedback on the vocoder?

Parsec is now on sale:
https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/parsec/

In case you didn't know, Parsec is now on sale for $59. At this price is it "worth" it? What exactly can Parsec do that things like Vecto, Quad, and others not do? Is the vocoder any good on Parsec? Or is Parsec only a glorified noise/fx machine?

But how does it "sound" compared to FET and other offerings on the table? If I already own McDSP Comp Bundle, FET, and DCAM Bundle, does this truly offer something "different" than what I already have? It is highly rated, and I have always heard positive things, but what do you all think?

I did get a response from them today! Yay! Could an admin delete this thread please?

I am hoping that perhaps they will see this post and I can get in contact with them quicker. As I mentioned before, they are usually really quick to respond (usually within 24 hours) so that is what has me wondering what's up. Hopefully they will appear soon

So has anyone else tried emailing the team over at Rob Papen lately? I have sent a couple of emails and filled out their contact forms and have had zero luck hearing back from them. They have always been pretty quick to respond in the past, but the emails have been sent well over a week ago and the ...

I actually tried that patch and still didn't get a "wow" effect. I am using the Radical Keys, would that be why perhaps it doesn't sound as good?

So on the demos do you think that there are like 3 of these attached to that guitar track? It sounds like magic in the guitar demo, but when I play a chord it sounds very bleh. I know it's me, and I've read through the manual. The particle is cranked to the max. I know I just need to keep playing ar...

The demo of this unit sounds amazing, but when I mess with it, it sounds like total crap. What am I doing wrong?

So for all those saying Zero is the winner, I do see one common statement amongst its owners, and that is that Zero is very power hungry on DSP. I have downloaded the trial off all three of these and I was pretty blown away that a single instance of it hit 2 bars of DSP, and sometimes even 3 bars. B...

This actually made me laugh out loud. The avatar has me a bit curious as to what is actually going on as well, haha!

Hey everyone! So all three of these are on sale at varying degrees. I already own Predator, Antidote, and PX-7, so which do you all think is the "must have" out of these three? Or are none of these "must have" in your opinion? I am curious now that they have all been out for a while, what is your op...

Neutron had a recent "reload", for creating that shimmer reverb some people, myself included, like a lot. :) I agree that Parsec can be a bit weird to like but it has great potential to get "more" if you can get past a certain point with it. So I have read through the description but have not reall...

Vecto is great. I went for Predator in the last RP sale, and wish I went for Vecto. The song challenge was fun. Guess I got tempted by 1. having the VST back in the days and 2. THAT MANY PRESETS. Now, taking your sound examples, I would say have a look into Parsec for that shimmery, but wide/bright...

Selig Audio, Turn2On, and DNA Labs are confirmed thus far. It is always safe to assume that Propellerheads will throw something into the mix as well for an event sale as well.

So would you say that Vecto is mostly for pads then? And do you feel like you can get more out of Vecto for pads than Antidote? I wouldn't say that Vecto is only good for pads. Vecto has four oscillators which can be used for virtual analog sounds, fm sounds and a lot more. But Vecto has some very ...

I have Antidote and Predator and still use and like Vecto for it's moving choirs and pad sounds. For virtual analog sounds I prefer Antidote or Predator. Quad on the other hand I doen't use anymore. If I could sell it I would. So would you say that Vecto is mostly for pads then? And do you feel lik...

I remember when Rob Papen's Vecto came out, that it was highly praised and there was much excitement about it. Are people still excited about this synth? Do people still use it? If someone already has Antidote and Predator, does this synth truly do that much "more" than what else is available?

just brought a used maschine studio for a ridiculously cheap price, guy even threw in his license for komplete 10 ultimate on top for free, How much did you pay for it? Im selling my Maschine Studio also not sure how much to sell it for, its pretty much brand new I just bought it a few months ago I...
