why do you say not on the virus? I find the virus to be the most versatile: enveloppes can be pretty much whatever you want with the proper modulation

+the built in eq helps for the tone

if 16 voices of analogue unison doesnt sound phat i will stop producing lol

sure it's versatile, you can use recursive modulation to make the amp or filter envelopes more/less concave/convex, woo hoo, but the nord still sounds better at ALOT of things, not just 808 kicks. modeled after prophet 5 FTW.

heres the best ive gotten out of virus: http://www.sendspace.com/file/y1j73y

if anyone has done better post it up.

they all have a unique sound. nord, virus, even the moog rogue and the little phatty which is pretty much spouse to be a remake of the rogue with more features are slightly different sounding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufv29kL05Fg

Here was my take on what you said about the 808. I do actually know what it sounds like, but I thought this sounded good too. No analog though, just wave editing, and no processing but the filter envelope.

interesting. is that entirely made from a square wave? or just a square for the attack portion?

yup pure digital square into the filter. of course the wave was pitched. i actually don't know if thats cheating

course not. there is no cheating.

Haven't tried yet. The LP doesn't have its own noise generator, but I could run an external noise source through it I suppose (you can use the LP's envelopes to control the dynamic character of the external audio).

voyager don't have internal overdrive

Voyager can do every thing the LP can but also a hell of a lot more.

The voyager has an external input so of course you can get the overdrive. Just route one of its outputs or headphone output back into the external input. Turn up the external knob to taste to get crazy overdrive and distortion effects!

Software editor for the Phatty, i tried the demo.. seems like it could come in handy when you dont want to menu dive.
