another something on my shopping list – I’ve heard (cool/different) sounds from it that I’d not heard from korg’s poly offering, or other synths around for that matter.
Yup. Want. Gonna sell my microbrute.
wild audio society could you post a link to the sounds you’re talking about?
Obviously I don’t know about his sounds, but I liked what I heard in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEM7E980H-k
It’s kind of a walkthrough, and around 15:00 and after there is less talk and more strange sounds (including something that reminded me of a frog video game of the early 80s).
What no patch bay to put my Mother into? Dwalbreaker. Keeping my patch able microbrute.
Who?
Love the design, interface, sequencer, but could someone upload a demo with non nasty distorted heavily fast modulated sounds, please?. 00:39 sounds nice but a bit boring. I like my synths to be capable of gentle but still alive sounds.
marketing person: let’s make a video and pretend it is spontaneous!
(irony off) why cannot we see and hear a demo that actually demoes something instead of hearing the waffle of paid endorsers i do not care about?
Awkward video
Great band. Cool synth. Rubbish video.
Colour me underwhelmed by that
The video is probably fine, but not for synthtopia. There have already been some nice introduction to that synth, so there’s no need for more – especially if it doesn’t say anything really. If there’s one person who should introduce that synth, it should be afx himself – as he is said to be author of some of its presets.
How much drugs are you doing that you can’t afford a Minilogue? Monosynths cant compare. Its my personal opinion that more than 4 voices is a little muddy sounding. I would prefer a modulation matrix update, not a piece of microwaveable junk.
With my monotribe becoming increasingly flaky, I am glad this is coming out. Poor man MS20!
Seem nice though… However, If your going for a a monolog analog synht, go for Novation Bass Station II. Sounds amazing.
The BS2 is a nice synth, no doubt, but it’s $100 more. That’s a nice delay pedal. 🙂
What’s cool about 2016 is that there are a nice set of <$400 analog mono synths available and they all have different feature sets. Microbrute has patching, this has the sequencer, presets and full MIDI, BS2 has presets, MIDI and full sized keys… Something for everyone.
Once this lands, a sub-$400 analog monosynth round up would make for a nice Synthtopia "feature" article. I don't get the feeling any of these are going away anytime soon.
I see that the Italian Band ‘Goblin’ is a major influence to Survive’s electronic sound.
