Sounds realllllly nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how limited the Synclavier 9600 was by today's standards. The standard 9600 offered 32 stereo 16-bit voices of sample playback with no filtering and 32MB or RAM.
ReplyDeleteWhat made the Synclavier special were the sound libraries and the psychological impact of playing a system worth more than your house.
That, and the fact that each voice had it's own 100khz DAC, with analog volume control so that at low level you still had 16 bits of dynamic left. Something other samplers didn't have except for the Emulator III and maybe the Prophet 3000.
ReplyDeleteIt could also do FM and resynthesis.
I wish someone would build a Firewire audio interface with 16 DACs that each have their own analog VCF and VCA. A bit like the Waldorf AFB16.
That in combination with an adapted NI Kontakt, where each sample played would be assigned to its own DAC, would make one good dynamic and analog sounding sampler.
To this day I have not heard a better sounding sampler.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds sensational.
ReplyDeleteThey really built it right. I like the way they shop upgrade old units to slightly smaller boxes.
I heart the Synclavier.

ReplyDeleteAre you all deaf?
Yes, I am deaf. I thought the discussion was about the Sign-Clavier.
