Just played around with that. It's very subtle. Good info, though. THanks! |

I did so by just increasing the output on my DAC. I could hear a difference. It was quite subtle, though.
Also, if anyone cares, if I don't like the ATC-1, which I'm 1/2 expecting that I won't, I'll definitely be getting a 2nd 3rd and perhaps even 4th pulse. What an awesome machine it is! |

| You want to connect them for polyphony? or just because you're too lazy to bounce? I think I read in the manual you can connect them for polyphony.. i'd like to hear that. |

Does the LP have a noise source, Eric? |
No, but you can add the CP-251 Control Processor, which has noise. |

OK, so now that the LP purchase is done, my attention is turning toward the next thing. I'm going to have about $3,000 to spend around the holidays, so I'm beginning my search now for the next unit.
Obviously the Andromeda A6 is high on the list, based on this thread. However, I have also been considering the Omega 4 voice and the Roland V-Synth GT. The Andromeda has been discussed already. The Omega sounds great, obviously, but I havent committed on that. The V-Synth is tempting because it has the ability to produce unique sounds unavailable in other synthesizers. Resysthesis? Elastic Audio? Sounds tempting. I saw a demo of a guy that brought in an external synth (D-50) as an oscillator, mixed in an internal oscillator, and then put the signal through a modelled TB-303 filter. Thats pretty cool. It also seems to take a lot of the best features of other Roland units and combine then all into one unit.
Does anyone own one of these? |

I would only say to get an Omega if the voice limitation won't bother you. Especially if you go for a 4 voice. You can get a 16 voice Andromeda for the same price as the 4 voice. The OSCs on the ATC-1 are supposedly very similar to the Omega. They definitely sound stronger, more vintage analog. But not Moog vintage, more Roland vintage. Which is awesome.
I've never played with a V-Synth, but the guy at http://www.synth.nl who owns a ca-gillion synths says the V-Synth is one of his favorites along with the Jupiter 8, Moog Model D, Virus, and one other obscure instrument. If it interests you, get a rack that way you can easily re-sell if it's not for you.

So, though sheer luck and a good connection, I managed to score a brand new Little Phatty Stage II from GC with a 33% discount. This deal was simply too good to pass up, so I jumped at it. I had my sights set on picking up a poly analog first, based on the recommendations in this thread, but the discount price allowed me to pick up the LP now and I'll be able to get an additional poly in the next few months.
I've only had it for a little less than a week, but I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. The sound is really, really good. It sounds so much better than the VA hardware I have owned (and sold) in the past. I can certainly see why people extol the benefits of analog. I'm finding a lot of use for the LP in my productions. I'm amazed at how easy it is to get good sounds out of the unit. The interface is so simple, it has already proven to be a big leap forward in my programming skill.
Anyway, thanks for everyone's suggestions, especially Alan for taking the time to put together all those comparisons. The LP might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is fitting perfectly with the style of music I make, and thats about all I can ask from a new sound unit. |
Awesome man, have fun with it. I know I do. :D |

Yeah, the 4-voice limit is a major problem, especially since I use a LOT of pads. I have not checked out the ATC-1, but I'll have a look. Thanks.

Thats a pretty good endorsement. Basically right now the two top contenders on my list are the Andromeda and the V-Synth. Its like a pennant race with these two, because they keep trading places. :)
The Andromeda has the ooey-gooey analog goodness, but the V-Synth keeps getting described as a "truly unique instrument". I have some time to decide, but that's why I'm starting to look now. |
