How are these guys paid to do thisā¦ Such a clumsy presentationā¦ Not the worst demo man Iāve seen, but come onā¦
Hahaā¦ Ya, I was shouting at the screen when he was fumbling with the oscillators and mixer section. I had to stop the video out of frustration.
Cheers!

Would love to hear more bassy and brassy patches - preferably without effects, but no luck for demos this farā¦
Why would I want to hear - I cannot afford this anyway!

That Inhalt demo is quite bassy!
It sounds great, but at the same time perhaps a bit too precise, clean and lifeless to my tastes.

Sounds like a synth with boring linear envelopes to me.

Manual is here, there, at Sequential
So bend them in the mod matrixā¦

Another something coming in a few months Dave said in an interview.
That is exactly what I donāt like about dsi. Releasing a product with questionable design and then say: find a workaround or āitās a featureā.

Yeah, I could do that with the five envelopes of my Pro 2. Or I could turn to a synth which has nice shapes as standard, which is what I tend to do for bass and sequence patches - or anything that requires typical synth movement.
Software envelopes are all well and good - but why settle on a default shape that makes life harder?

LOLā¦ Too funny.
Seriously thoughā¦ Iām happy to bust DSIās balls about a great many things; but if I were designing a synth from scratch, and I had to choose between linear, logarithmic, or exponential curves for the basic envelopes, Iād probably go with linear, given that you can bend them either way from there using modulation as needed. Makes sense to me.
Cheers!

Personally, I really like the envelopes on the PRO2 and OB6.

I guess my point was that these are software and surely itās not going to tax anyone who knows synths to add a top-level āshapeā option so the user doesnāt have to prat around in the mod matrix all the time just to get the response expected from classic synths of old.
Itās an extra stage I, as a Pro2 owner, would dearly love to avoid. I tended to use two envelopes on my Evolver combined to get a bit more snappiness and probably moaned to Dave at the time about how hardware envelopes of his past synths were brillliant compared to this linear modern nonsense. And letās face it, Korg managed it brilliantly with the Radias - and if Korg can do it, anyone can. Admittedly theyāve lost the art since thenā¦
