Whats the point of this synth? Who wants (another) 2 vco monosynth? Especially one without proper adsr-envelopes??
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of a name? Wouldn't have it been cooler if it had become a Dresden or Zwickau synth? LOL
ReplyDeleteIf the sound is teh tits, it most certainly has a point.
ReplyDelete@matti: What would that point be? Im sure that it sounds good (well not really, considering other AS products) but thats not what im talking about. What im asking is; what is the point of creating yet another very simple 2 vco synth when there are already so many very similar products on the market... Especially since this one seems very limited in terms of patchability (compared to the XS for instance), EGs (on/off for sustain?) aso, aso...
ReplyDeleteHmm... Well... I've read countless complaints about the Voyager not sounding like a Model D. And that the price is just too expensive, yada-yada-yada...
ReplyDeleteSooo, if the Leipzig would sound exactly like an early oscillator board Minimoog (with one VCO hardwired to LFO duties), I'm sure some people would be interested.
I'm not holding my breath, but I think the Leipzig deserves a chance.
It doesn't have (variable) noise in addition to the 2 VCO, does it?
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this one. The TBX sounds great. The Red Square is cool too. I have no doubt this will sound good. As far as monosynths go, you can't have too many flavors IMO. It's a good price too for an analog synth that's handmade.
ReplyDeleteJosh
Is the manual in the link supposed to be for the TBX bassline? I was kind of expecting the Leipzig one...
ReplyDeleteOooo my dear lordy lordy. I have a leipzig..and a zillion other synths. I've had her up against my partner in crime's model D and as much as the model D is the one of the best sounding analogue mono synths that I know of, the Leipzig stands next to it proudly. First of all, the oscillator sound is identical, the filter is super close and the 3...yes 3 vco's (who ever said 2 vco earlier is wrong, it has an indenpendent sub osciallator that drives down either 1 or 2 octaves) are more stable. You have option of sawtooth, square and sine (if you use the resonance in combination with key follow) wave forms and a greater routing option matrix than the Moog. I got my Leipzig for a mere £620 second hand compared to my mates £2600 model D and prefer my Leipzig. It seems to have a better hands on feel to it and is quirky as hell. You never quite know what super big sound it's going to produce next and doesn't seem to run out of sonic possibility. It's my favourite synth, i'm so glad she's amongst us. So give her a fair chance before dismissing this crazy great and uba flexible synth...Oo did I mention it's also got on-board midi to cv input for controlling the Leipzig via midi and then a cv output for the Leipzig controlling anything else with a V/Oct cv in..mega! All in all a 10/10 synth for me.
