Be sure to see the write-up on Sonic State.
Note, the sample set includes a burning piano amongst other creative things.

  2. Interesting. Very creative, although it's sort of like what a lot of folks have been doing on their own with good samplers for years. Just take that $500 and get a good mic ;)

    For some reason, I fear it would be very CPU-intensive, but I suppose they were conscious of that when designing it.

  4. It seems a little gimmicky to me.

    I'm not really impressed by their creative sampling.

  5. Well, if you can really mangle stuff up into something bizzare or import samples, that's one thing.

    Playing nepalese goat header horns that have been turned into an an average cathedral organ patch, seems sorta pat yourself on the back snobby.

    I felt sorry for the guy as it didn't seem like he had much to offer beyond the crazy sampling they did.

    IMHO, typically, spectrasonics sells overpriced sample CDs disguised as synths.

    Ah well, not that I'll buy it, but I await further demos..

  6. Right. The sample sources may be interesting, but that "skinning a flaming cat while on the planet Venus" still ends up sounding like a bell.

  7. is it just me or do the original samples sound better than what the synth engine does to them?

  8. it is not you...its me too....the synth engine just squeezes the neat sounds into digital dullness IMO

  9. I agree completely. It sounds like a cross between a D50 and any number of newer mainstream synths.

    What's the point? Products like Poseidon and Absynth are infinitely more interesting, IMHO.

  10. Ha D50, That popped into my mind for a minute too when watching the demo.

    Q: So its a ROMPLER with fancy modulation.

    A: LOOK OVER THERE! Flaming piano!

  11. Well, Eric Persing is largely responsible for the success of the D-50 as his factory presets were the most memorable, and most abused.

    Example: digital native dance.
