i see juno 106 is there
does it simulate voice chip failure?
hurrrrrp!
It`s sampled by me with my Juno. And my Juno has no voice chip failures 😛
It sounds great, it has a lot of additional synthesis (sub etc) and effects over the normal sample playback, so can be a bit CPU heavy (20-30% on an i7 with some patches)
Amazing collection of sounds for the money, and some hard to find instruments in there- I love that they are also sampling ‘modern classics’
The filter/arp/mod fx etc can take the base sounds in a totally different direction, highly recommended.
What’s the technology? Sampled raw oscillators + modelled filters? How close are they to the originals? If it’s good I see no real reason to collect lots of hardware, unless you’re planning to open a museum 🙂
Still just scratching the surface of it but quite pleased so far. It can definitely consume some CPU depending on the patch, but I really enjoy how much tweakability there is for essentially a rompler. Sounds really good.
I see that it has it’s own rompler synth features beyond the samples but I’m not sure why it should be taking so much CPU. Those features are fairly simple compared to other soft synths—and this is using samples for the OSC. Effects maybe?
