If you think about it, yeah, it's not gonna scream anything special musically from the demo, because the access rep was just flipping through some presets and messing around with some parameters in real time. However, this synth is very versatile and offers lots of flexibility... giving unlimited possibilities, especially with the wavetable synthesis. Combine this synth with the right sound design concepts and you should be able to get some amazing results. I don't believe this is a synth for those ppl looking to use presets, but more for those inclined to creating their own custom patches; that is the best way to get your moneys worth. |
it does have midi in/out. you cant play it if it doesnt have midi in/out!
also i think you should look for the namm video demo for the alesis fusion. that set the benchmark for me. the virus TI didnt seem to offer more than some extra phatness for a £1500 price tag and the wavetables? maybe a bit of korg wavestation esque sound. couldnt really tell from the demo. the alesis fusion is supposed to retail cheaper and it does fricking everything man. the sampled pianos on that are sick.
other synth that impressed me more at namm was dave smith's evolver keyboard. that thing is just crazy! real analogue and you can warp sound you wouldnt believe. he even does it live and the sound really does 'evolve' in realtime. although he kept saying 'its real easy, just grab some knobs and have some fun' and i just kept giggling. but then im really immature so dont pay any attention to me.

Now that's what trance needs! However, they were sampled vox so they don't count. The second vocoder preset was fucking amazing! The supersaw however had a HP filter on it, and didn't show off any of the top end, unlike the TI's hypersaw when he played that key progression with the release up
