Beat me to it.

This is the best demo I've found so far, and I have to say, I'm not in love with it. Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds cold and digital to my ears, not at all the analog warmth I look for in synths. Plus, for $2k, I'd much rather have a DSI Rev2.

At 1:00 in, I thought we were all about to go "OUR SEPARATE WAYS!!!!!!"

And yeah, for $2K, I'd just save up a bit more for a Prophet-6.

That prologue would be a cool synth for a grand or so. And since it's 2 grand ish, I dunno. Seems like it's trying to be a prophet for just a little less money all right.

I'll be interested if they try copping the oberheim sound on the cheap, though.

[OffYourFace]

sounds good to me... also looks more user friendly than any of the DSI stuff, IMO.

Could be. I sat there the whole time thinking it sounded like a Prophet, but not as smooth and kinda brittle.

[Singlebladepickup]

It sounded good, but yea that price is wack. I wish the minilogue sounded as good, I just don't need all the bells and whistles of the prologue

Behringer is coming out with a OB-X module, I believe. I'm definitely interested in that.

The Korg? Meh... I really like the Monologue, which my brother has, really easy to use, sounds great, and every time I play it I find myself inspired to write really great basslines (though I would have loved it if it also came in a Minilogue size, with more keys). But this thing doesn't really do it for me, personally. It seems like it's trying to be a Prophet, but not quite getting there.


AND GUH, why is synth GAS now the thing in my life? I really want an Octave Cat but they're expensive and I really shouldn't be spending money. But of course now I want the ARP Odyssey Module Rev 1. Oh baby. I love the look of that...

[redchapterjubilee]

Cool board, but at that price I'd turn to Dave Smith.

Oh shit, really? Where'd you hear about this?

I ran to the arms of the Google machine and now I'm peeing my pants. Ahhhhhhh!

This thread got me curious about what all is out there, and I came across the Studiologic Sledge.

Pretty cool virtual analog board, now in black and under $1000. Lot of options in this category, but between this, the Roland System 8 and maybe a Dave Smith Prophet 08 (true analog), I'm torn! One plus for the Sledge is that it has the ability to load samples and the newest firmware has I think 24 voices of polyphony. Rather nifty.

Don't run so quickly: the product - if they decide to release it - is more then a year ahead of it's real availability. And having tried a Behringer Model D I'm not so excited: it'a plasticky piece of crap.

Oh... really?

[matbard]

Really.

It resembled me the dashboard of a '70s Italian city car. Thus, the sound is quite good.

But for the assembly it would have cost half of the price requested.
