Advice for folks. Behringer synths. They all have external in so you can use them as filter modules not just synths I saw that paranoid london run their drums often through a korg ms20 filter so i got the ks20 by behringer and run my drum machine through the drive circuit . Sounds fantastic . So you get a great cheap bass synth but also access to an abalog filter circuit for colour and saturation of other instruments using the external in. I also send my bass vst from ableton and through the filter circuit on my pro 1. Much cheaper ways to get analogue vibe on your tracks tgan using dedicated distortion / warming units etc
Complex material. The more complex it gets, the more difficult it is to add saturation/distortion without issue. They’d all be pretty close if dealing with single source sounds, but a full mix… you need some $$$ for the classy sound if you wanna had some flavour.
Trying to decide between the vulture super 15 with a spare 1500 vs the overstayer modular channel 🤔 Overstayer looks great but fear it would just lead me into a world of endless tweaking and indecision. Do you have experience with it? Thoughts anyone?
I'm thinking your fingers-length may be noted in Guinness Book of.... I suppose for gimmickry, PolyBrute 12 wins. For Sonics, genius and everything else, it's the SUPER GEMINI.
arhitecturally i agree. super6, or one layer of gemini, is pretty much lifted from the Jup6/8. with addition of modern extras like matrix mod, fx and digital waves on the first oscillator. concept doubling this into two layers, each with its row of controls, plus ribbon and poly after touch, comes from CS80. however, built-wise and sound-wise UDO synths have nothing to do with CS80, or Jupiter 8. if i had to compare them to something, i'd rather say UDO character floats btwn the mid80s dco synths like Juno 106 and hybrids like Prophet VS or Kawai K3 from the same era. but all that with somewhat cleaner, modern/hifi presentation instead of actual vintage tone.
@@clusterchord1two further comments: the envelopes are Rolandy, the filter is a little bit too. and you actually can get some very vintage sounding saw or pwm pads out of this thing. the super mode on dds2 applied subtly does this and it sounds massive.
@strongfilm not with the factory firmware, as soon as there is a firmware exploit my tech team will work on a zoll-scale retrofit. pm me if you are interested.
it sounds like a hybrid juno , and yes i suppose there is a jupiter sound to it , i am not too familiar with jupiter although i do have a jupiter plugin , its a decent synth - quite exp - hope you like it@@zerb
I thought that, I sold the desktop S6 to get this and I felt that that was rock solid in terms of build, the toggle switches and sliders don't feel as high quality on the SG. Might be completely wrong on this though. Main thing however, it sounds amazing and very pleased with it.
Thank you for posting this and showing how the synth really is I feel like everyone has only shown one amazing pad or just ambient stuff. This really gives you an idea of if it’s for you or not or what it’s capable of which I truly appreciate. Thank you so much. What are your initial thoughts?
I guess these sounds were too avant-garde for the musicians / times back then. Just like 'edmx' I was very curious. More over, I couldn't find examples, sounds or video's about this, until now! Big thanks!
Just bought a Culture Vulture Super 15 and a Fat Bustard. I have been trying to find decent videos demoing them and thankfully came across this. I am very excited to get using my new toys. They just seem to WORK and sound right. Great demo thank you, I am subscribed now! 🙌
i wonder how much the band-limiting has to do with the vsm-2 being great. with some simple pre-emphasis and post-de-emphasis EQ in the computer, maybe a simple tube gainstage would be even better.
is A (ampex preamp) mode your favorite on Decap? looks like it's what you were using here. I'm not convinced--especially after this favorable comparison with the Thermionic--hw saturation is necessary, but tape is another story. Decap was a little brighter, was that the only difference?
Culture Vulture and VSM were my favorite. Amazing how the uad plugin versions were able to retain the same vibe. I use them all the time and sound was very recognizable on both. Great demo
artistc sonic sculptering. would be interesting to hear the "VSM Vertigo" in combination with the "ESL Vertice" analog filterbank, or the "Schippman Ebbe und Flut"
Nice review man, thanks for doing this vid. I really like and prefer the VSM-2, sounds tight, with depth and 3D over the other units, stereo image never gets thin.. As soon as its activated that snare, wow!
