Many years ago, I was one of those strange basement techno-geeks who designed and built various experimental analog synth modules . . . at the very least, it kept the neighbors intrigued with mysterious sounds oozing out of the basement in the pre-dawn hours. As for the software versions of this, it's realistically the only option available for many, as the cost of the real hardware has become so pricey. I think it's very cool that people interested in poking around with analog synth music can actually do so . . . just my opinion.
I have all of Arturia's software (pretty much), and I'm finally into my first week with the Chroma. I want to love this one; I'm too simple to figure how to start the sequencer. I've been hating this for almost a year now, because the only time I can use the sequencer is with a preset. Sucks to be a simpleton: "On" does not "on". Oh, well.
Thanks for the demo! Do you happen to know whether any modular systems ever actually allowed the input amounts to be controlled with a ring around the jack socket, as here? Or was it always a case of having to route the voltage through a level control module or rely on onboard gain controls in the modules themselves?
I got the Arturia V collection and have been using it a ton for home recordings. Mainly been using the combo organs and the Wurli. Now working to teach myself how to program the modular synths. Very dope stuff
@@circaxx85 I think that's to be expected though when you're talking about a digital software synth, vs the actual analog hardware when live electrical signals always running through it.
What might help is running it through a signal chain that emulates real live situation ie. (and it’s just an example) a preamp, channel strip, even a speaker emulator plus effects. The plugin is only a raw sound without the benefits of external devices. If you had an actual Moog modular you’d also (need to) plug it into some gear, right?
