![]() Another reason why I deleted most freeware synths. I wouldn't buy a preset bank either, so I stick to synths that come with hundreds or thousands of sounds already or where numerous banks are available for free on the internet. Once I sit on my keyboard and load up a synth, I immediately start to write a tune or jam, I cannot help it. Personally I never proram sounds, no patience to learn it. You know some people make a living programming and selling preset banks for wide-spread synths ? I prefer the totally modular approach, just need a new CPU! I think it's one of the best ever made, my best buy ever and going 64bit soon You can pick up the Ultra Analog on KVR pretty cheaply, as a lot of people bought in AudioMidi's no brainer sale on a whim, and then don't like it. This a screen shot of my track presets, the 37 at the bottom are V-Station preset banks.loads easy this way. I Don't know much about Ultra Analogue, I must check it out sometime. I think Ace is a very fun Synth to play with. I find the controls in Ace to be super sensitive & just the slightest turn of a knob can totally change your sound. I found Ace tricky to begin with but after reading the manual & a couple of nights tinkering, I'm starting to come up with some pretty cool & varied patches. I may replace Ace with Imposcar 2 when it comes out. I think just focusing on those few synths can only be more productive in the long run.Īce though, I'm finding a bit more difficult to programme and have only made 8 presets for it. Yes I'm trying to go down to having 3 or 4 Synths in my vst folder instead of 10 to 20 synths which I'll hardly use. I've used V-Station before its a pretty good synth. I'm now up to a thousand for the Ultra Analog. The V-Station was first and I have made 5000 presets, arranged in 37 (banks) track presets. ![]() I used to spend more time making and downloading presets for them than playing music. I did go through a phase of buying cheap synths and acquiring freebies. I've downloaded this new one, haven't installed it yet. This is a nice skin, I was using the last version of this. It looks very retro :)įor all Oatmeal users, Limeflavor has updated his skin (which many Oatmeal users have as their Oatmeal skin) Thanks technogremlin I'll be sure to check it out. The UI is not that sexy but also a very close emulation of the real thing: ![]() and some more info here (SQ80 users website): Get it here (look through the whole page, there's a lot of info): I had an ESQ-1 for almost 20 years, sold it when I got my hands on this plugin :) There are not many softsynths that sound this good without any FX switched on. When you listen to it keep in mind that it has no build-in FX. It can load native SQ80 and ESQ-1 patches and there is a lot of that floating around the web. It (very faithfully) emulates an Ensoniq SQ80 that had Curtis chips for the analog filter, famous for their use in the Oberheim OB8 and OBX synths. I almost forgot about it but it is one of the top free instruments right now. Peevy, it has been mentioned here between the lines (I searched the topic )) but don't forget to pick up SQ8L. Have you any idea how FL Studio Express Edition would measure up against these? I have been looking into getting a step sequencer/arpeggiator. Toxic's on sale at Audiomidi for $79 right now. The bundles are a bit expensive for me at the moment. IMHO, FL Studio's stepsequencer is hands down the absolute best in the industry. FL Studio can be hosted as a VST / VSTi or a ReWire client within Reaper. Sometimes they will bundle a few instruments and FL Studio together at a killer price. Before you buy toxic alone, take a look at the IL bundles.
