As I understand it is a construction issue where there is a mono spring reverb made to stereo by turning one output 180 degrees causing phase cancellation in mono
Thank you for this excellent comparison. I agree that the order played is the correct order from best to worst. For single notes, it isn’t so easy to distinguish, but with chords, the differences are obvious. I have the Behringer hardware and Arturia Solina. I never made this comparison, but now I appreciate my Behringer so much more.
To me the Behringer Solina stands out. The sound is instantly there. The Arturia sounds great as well but needs some tweaking to get that natural unprocessed sound as it is flooded with effects, stereoized and tweaked in different directions by default.
The LinnDrum is recorded to a stereo track, some reverb and straight to the the master bus with EQ and compressor (SSL Bus Compressor software) and that’s it.
I was going to list loads of good things but that's too much typing, but just be sure that they are a lot of things and they're very good. And this video is better than all of them
Agreed. I found my Arturia Solina vst to be a favorite as of late, but would love a hardware version. Behri has nailed it, and I'm surprised at how different the vst sampled versions are... They seem to be so much darker, in a 'not better' way. Nice video!
Very educational. And confirming what I've come to finally understand with many standard synths. A lot of what people attribute to the unique sounds of each has to do with the presets programmed by the factory. Architecture matters but a square wave with similar filter cutoff and resonance on each are going to sound much more the same than different.
Nice improvisation! Also, nice studio! You have a Prophet 5/10, an Oberheim OB-X8, a Minimoog, AND a Fender Rhodes, MS-20, Arp 2600, TB303, and LinnDrum? WOW!!!! SWEET!!! That's quite an investment there in what are among some of the BEST synths ever made! BTW, I like the sound of that LinnDrum too. Totally '80s.
Owner of both! For my uses, I find the Prophet tends to sit better as the foundation of my mixes, while the Oberheim tends to shine best when it’s programmed to be front and center. Both are stellar instruments! Cheers!
OB-6 is a great synth as well as the new TEO-5. You should be able to make similar sounds on these. A part of the sound is the reverb. I use Lexicon PCM-80 with a hall of 15 seconds, but would work great with other reverbs such Blackhole etc. Another central part of the sound is the use of the filter that I control with a foot pedal. Good luck with your sounds!
@@alainthiry3965 why not make your own presets as it is easy like a piece? I’ve made a video how to program ambient pads like these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d07VJEyD1EA.htmlsi=XYJ4ANbAJ5boUCDc
It's like asking Corvette Stingray or Porsche 911. Both vintage sports cars, but that's where a lot of the similarities stop. These synths have completely different circuitry, they don't really compare. Each has their place and everyone has their preference. For me? The Stingray!
Prophet 5 - tight, snappy OB-X8 - elastic, pliable Respectively, each just barely more than the other. Both equally magnificent - but more magnificent is that you have both within an arm’s reach. I’ve got the P10rev4 but, for now, will have to “settle” for my OB-6. First-world problems are a bitch. Nicely demonstrated, sir. Cheers!
If I had a rack of synthesizers around me, I'd want them all to be Sequential instruments. They re-introduced the Prophet-5 (and a single-deck Prophet-10), and I hope they reintroduce the Pro-1 mono synth, but maybe remaking all of their old gear isn't really part of the Sequential game plan... new stuff can be made, too.
