Thanks a lot for this exellent demonstration! Must be one of the best on youtube, have seen them all up to now, and yours shows off all of the functions in the best way imho! Looking out for one of these for years now, been in doubt, but I think I'll have a go on this, though prices have gone up these last years... I do have a Korg PS900, early "preset" synth with not much of control possibilities, but it has that awkward (weird) sound, that none of the modern synths can match, and which I like so much. As you can suspect, I am very much into seventies stuff, and a big fan of the German underground scene of that era... I can get one mint condition, but it does cost about 940 dollars without shipment, it is though from a very good company and completely overhauled, Icould try and bargain about the price a little bit I guess. Any thoughts on that? Greetings and go on on your Sigma!
Did you end up buying a Sigma? Someone in my city is selling one for 1125 usd and i am very tempted to bargain a price although i know i shouldnt.... the sound is just so incredible. it reminds me of the rare korg 770.
@@dc5815-j1n I too am curious if he got one. I did, it's in for some repair work :-( But none-the-less I did play with it before it went in and it is incredible. Lots of great stuff.. Performance aspects are its strength, not the overall synth engine(s?).
I bought a CS10 instead of this. I don't regret it but I do regret not going back for months to buy the Sigma and by the time I was ready someone else had bought it.
Very different instruments - I have a CS-15; it's awesome in that you can set-up a much wider palette of sounds out of its oscillators. The routing on it is killer. The Sigma excels at performance parameters. While the presets aren't all themselves that exciting, what it seems to be great at is getting an awesome sound by combining them along with the ability to use those extra performance controls. I'm on the hunt for one...
@@PaulBoos I still wish that I bought it when it was in my local shop but I couldn't justify another mono synth as I already have a Yamaha CS10, Moog Sub37, and a KARP Odyssey.
@@RoomAtTheTopStudio I can get that... I’ve been focusing on monos recently. Really like some of the extra expressiveness that was thought about in many of them. That said, the Polybrute looks to be both expressive and poly... it seems to be a monster.
