@VEsound Год назад

Oh no... Tobi can't say the Moog Minimoog Voyager can be disappointing for basses... My Minimoog Voyager XL is the first synth I use for basslines and there are some videos on my channel proving its bass quality sounds. ♥ For me the Minimoog Voyager sounds as good as the original Minimoog and it's a pure joy to have patch memory and MIDI natively on it. The real modern Minimoog. :) I agree with him about the Jupiter-8 beast & Deckards Dream mkI and its expander. Excellent instruments for sure! Novation does really good stuff as well, including the Summit yeah. Really nice episode!

@subaquaticencountersofthed8515 Год назад

Yeah. That's quite misleading what he says. What's more likely? That he has a poor listening position with low frequency cancelation in his old room where he was using those Keyboards? Or that Moog somehow managed to design nearly a dozen synthesizers that all have notes that drop out? 🤔 I'd say it was user-error. But.. like him I haven't actually owned a real minimoog, so maybe there really is something to it. I know that I prefer my Mother 32 for techno style bass to my slim phatty and micromoog. Had a voyager in the university studio and the bass was insane... but that's 12 year old fading memories.

@VEsound Год назад

@@subaquaticencountersofthed8515 You remember well because Voyager's basses are insane. ❤️

@modmodell8897 Год назад

Well it was my experience. I gave them a try for more than 2 years, Voyager and Sub Phatty. Somehow the bass at the end was always a problem, it was swimming and not really there. Some notes were over present, some disappeared. And believe me I know my shit. On the SH 101 this problems doesn't exist neither on the Pulse or there SE-1X. And since I‘ve own the Minimoog I know what was wrong with the other Moogs. They didn‘t use a discret voiceboard. They work chip-based, with integrate circuits. And that made them blurry and undefined. The Voyager is a great synth no doubt, but one OSC, triangle wave (for me the supreme discipline) was never convincing me.

@marzzz1 Год назад

@@modmodell8897 I grew up with a Minimoog in the 70's. Years after bought a Voyager when it first came out, and spent more than a decade trying to gel with it, finally sold it. Literally weeks later Moog reissued the Minimoog, bought one immediately and have been happy ever since. Oh, but if someone would actually reissue a hardware-based Jupiter 8...

@jekanyika Год назад

I'm surprised he was allowed to criticise so much of Thomann's current stock. Fair play.

@DestroyER82 Год назад

Lovely studio, great taste, awesome talk. Really enjoyed it. Tobi seems like genuinely awesome person. Just a little comment to Deckard's Dreams, even the controls resemble CS-80, the sound / VCO / architecture and outgoing sound is quite different. VCO is 3340 clone (so it is more SH101 / Prophet 5 etc. sound) and behaves lineary instead of IG00153 that is controlled exponentially also the filters sound different. Dont get me wrong, still amazing and amazing sounding polyphonic synth. I would recommend to dive into real CS and getting for example (still extremely affordable) CS-15 (thank or hate ma later). All the best! :-)

@zentiic879 Год назад

Thank you for the great video! Аmong the other things it is also a perfect demonstration of good synthesizer sound! It's funny because I've just watched some reviews of the new Roland SH-4d and was wondering if there is something wrong with my hearing... but the section where Tobi speaks about SH-2 says it all :-) Question: how did you record the synth audio? From the monitors using an external mic?

@modmodell8897 Год назад

Hey thanks. We I recorded the synths directly thru the mixing console and then straight on the DAW, and then gave the file to the guys from Thomann. Just the Decker's Dream and the Summit are unfortunately not directly recorded.

@bryanl1524 Год назад

@@modmodell8897 Great video, what kind of interface/ad converters/patchbay setup do you use? Do you send any midi coming out of logic?

@Thirolls Год назад

It’s a shame, because the new SH4D is a true beast with a really good workflow and a really really good emulation of those classics Roland synths. I understand what Tobi said about the legacy of Roland’s stuff, and he is right when we talk about some recent gears that sound too plastic and perfect, without any organic feelings. I have a TR8, it sound good, but without processing, it sound too « digital perfect » for e.g. But, this is not systematically true, and I think we don’t have to be snobbish when a digital one virtualise some og’s analog just because there are digitals… The SH4D sound massive and dirty, and I think he has some permanent kind of drive on the filter, who make the feeling that it sound analog. 2500 euros for a Juno106 or 1700 euros for an SH101 seriously lol…

100% agree with him about Roland as company and the legacy. The old Roland synths are awesome, among the best ever. Roland synths after the 90s XP80 are crappy. The latest Fantom is crap; RD2000 also a crap, Their hammond simulations are horrible and all products after year 2000 nowhere near the Nord or Yamaha.

@compucorder64 Год назад

There's a few synths I've regretted selling over the years. The Waldorf Pulse is one of them, and it surprises me these still aren't very expensive for how great they are. Such a solid, very direct sound. Think it was Kirk Digiorgio that recommded them when I was a teenager (yip, in Sound on Sound 1998!). Videos like this might mean the prices go up ;) I do think last time I checked they might have been selling for 400+. Think I sold my Pulse to fund a Moog Voyager. But, Voyager wasn't necessarily better, just different. Love my Novation though.
