What's the point of a post like that? All you're doing is trying to blatantly stir the shit. Why waste your time? Move on.

Jake, do yourself a favour and shut the fuck up.

Originally posted by MrJiveBoJingles Yeah I've looked at it, but if I want to go for a poly four voices seems a little too limited to me. Also I like my synths to have more knobs or sliders. How would you say the sound compares to your Prophet 08? Maybe the Little Phatty has spoiled me, with every button and knob having a single clear function and minimal menu futzing. I love this thing. Obviously as a mono synth with only two oscs and one filter it has limited functionality, but what it does, it does excellently to my ears.

I don't mind the 4 voices because I usually work on a patch, write something, do some automation and print it as audio. But you're right it's more limited with fewer voices and less knobs. There is a computer based programmer that you can get and there are some features on the tetra not found on the P8, sub oscilators and distortion are two that come to mind.

I love the little phatty, but for some reason we don't have one lol, although some of the presets do remind me of a certain mouse


Cheers,

Ha! Indeed.

Thanks for all the synth chat, Mikael.

The DSI Tetra actually has more control than the knobs on the hardware, has full on software GUI to control more parameters easily. Thinkin about getting one. 4 Voices is plenty for the sounds its made to make.

That does look cool and sounds nice, but I am mainly looking for an analog poly that can make good pads and chord sweeps, since the Phatty pretty well covers bass and leads. Four voices just seems inconvenient for a pad machine, I'd like at least six. I may consider the Tetra at a later point, though, because it does have a great sound from the demos I've heard.

I haven't used the computer editor yet but will give it a try this week. ...And programming from the knobs isn't that bad actually. I think it's a pretty good bang for the buck.

Yah Tetra and Mopho are more for fast attack, short-mid decay, and fast release sounds, bass sounds, stabs, groove support.
If you want pad machines, look at the older ROLAND stuff. ROLAND synths are the pad kingpins.

Indeed, that's what I'm doing.

I agree! The older Roland stuff sounds good and is relatively inexpensive (except for the Jupiter) An MKS 70 (jx 8p), MKS 80 (Jupiter 6/8) or even a Juno 60/106 would suffice nicely. Actually even an MKS 50 / Juno 2 has some decent pads. However if you get the MKS / jupiter or JX series make sure to save enough money for a programmer. Programming from the front panel is not fun, although the pad and string presets are actually pretty good on the JX and Jupiter. ...not sure if there's a software editor for any of these, maybe someone else here knows?
