Re: Papen Quad update coming

I got word that Quad RE will be updated with a new reverb and filters. Patch compatible with the newly released VST :thumbs_up: Nice! Although at the moment I have to say it is one of my least favorite synths... It just doesn't speak much to me... Maybe time to revisit it once the update lands... ;...

Re: Nostromo 2

I have also noticed that the random often changes an osc semi to +2 or -2 which ends up very dissonant. I think it would be more effective at the 7 interval and maybe 5.

Re: Rostnomo is in the Shop! [Free]

Nice synth. Open a Combinator. Insert a 6:1 mixer. Drag in a Rostnomo. Go through a bunch of random sounds. And/or manually scroll through each of the 27 wave windows. When you find one you love, drag another Rostnomo into the Combinator. Go through a bunch of random sounds in the second one. Repea...

Re: Choosing a synth...

If I asked this question to myself when I first started creating sounds beyond preset browsing, it's simple. Thor's mod matrix. Once you really master it, you've got the true jump off point for all other synthesis. Outside of just reason. The way it's setup. What you can do with audio in, CV, routin...

Re: Nostromo 2

I haven't got to try out the update yet, but it looks really good. My only critique would be the compressor. I'd like to see a visual representation of the gain reduction. Especially since we can use it as a modulation source.

I'm hyped either way.

Re: How much are you willing to spend on a RE?

I'm willing to pay what I think it's worth. Based on multiple factors. Is it a new Synth? Fx? Utilities? Will I get a lot of use out of it? Is it a novelty item? How broad or narrow is it's application in my music? Is there a learning curve (which is an advantage in a lot of cases)? Is it a paid upd...

Re: i hate the new reasons so much...

Ever since I poured a beer on my laptop, I've been producing with sticks and stones. Although they could use some compression at times, the workflow is so much better. I look forward to down grading again.

Re: Albino 3

It was still installed on my computer from about 7 years ago. It's still a special synth. Since it's so CPU efficient for me, I'm using it with distributor to utilize the million presets available online. Like 4-8 randomly selected tweaked presets can turn any polyphonic melody into something really...

There's a LOT of empty space, with the thread titles in big boxes, forced onto a four line minimum height, so less is visible onscreen, regardless of the ads sidebar.

Re: New RE from Studio Corbach

I've gotten to the point where I don't even need/use fx in synths at all. Reason's modularity (is that a word?) is more powerful when I use all my individual fx re's. They are usually higher quality than anything I would find in a synth fx chain.
