Hi!
Looking for hardware synth.
Hoping to get some cool sounds for tech-music (benny Benassi/Royal Gigolos style sounds)?
What do you think is the "best"?
Also it would be nice if it is easy to use with Reason?
Maybe Novation XioSynth? |

Definately go for the Virus if you want the Benassi-sound...
Basically it's what he uses (and obuses ;-) ) on 90 % of all his tracks. In this interview he mentions his gearlist:

His gearlist also includes the Clavia Nordlead. I don't know this personally, but I know for sure that the Access Virus has just the "sound" I think you're after.

Thank you for helping!!
I will look/think about the Virus!
Do you know/think, is Virus easy to use with Reason? |

| Reason does not record audio or host softsynths. Do you have a Rewire host? |

Thank you again!
There is no audio record or vst/host softsynths in Reason, it is very true...
But I like the way Reason works, and it has some very nice sounds :tongue2
But I did read, that with Novation XioSynth (it is also much cheaper than Virus...) I can control Reason (twek the Reason sounds + play them with the hardware synth) stright with the XioSynth.... And that should be very easy (at least that what they say in novation) :toothless
But I don't know about the sound in XioSynth... |

what about reaktor5?
thats pretty much a hybrid synth and seems capable of anything.
just have to master it though! not sure on cpu useage? but u can always freeze. |
