MATRIXSYNTH: Three Octave Synths Please

Three Octave Synths Please

Moogulator has a funny post up on how there aren't enough three octave synths out there. Instead we keep getting two octave mini synths. I couldn't agree with him more. I once picked up a Novation k-Station and while it's a nice synth, I barely used it because it only had two octaves. Not much range there, you know. A nice three octave synth? The MEK of course. Thank you Dave Smith. And thank you Brandon Daniel for posting these shots of NAMM 2006 and more. You rock.

    id almost prefer 4 octave, like the ion i used to own - but the advantage of the 3 octave is extreme portability

    plus - this is evolver!!! um - badness? fuckin awesomely extreme unheard of sounds?

    having all those knobs is just pure gold

    evolver is my fav analog synth of all time - the ONLY prob i have with it is the digital encoding and thus stepping parameters used for the knobs... i noticed when i hooked my tabletop up to a peavey 1600x it would tweak without stepping... so i wonder if dave put smooth knobs on this model?? i doubt it - they look like the same knobs

    but at least most of them are right there for the tweaking

    listen to the freaky lead sound on my song "from orion to giza pt2"... only the evolver could do that kind of sound... especially the very ending.... and i was just using the tabletop version there - yo baby - i want this fucking keyboard!!!

    no problem. if anything, you can thank the anabella hotel for finally getting wifi internet installed... it's the only reason I can upload this stuff so quick.

    i can't see the problem with 2, really. it limits you to being inventive rather than wank-full.
