![]() Although, with Eurorack modules like the e352, Piston Honda, and the excellent Doepfer Xpander filters a good bit of that magic is there (and more!), but in monophonic mode only. The Arturia plugins recreate the workflow, spirit, and UI - but not the sound in most cases. ![]() The only reason I keep the Prophet VS and Xpander are because there really isn't a modern equivalent (and for sentimental reasons as they were a big part of the NIN synth sound). But Sequential may have an OB-Xa coming so I will wait and see. I do like the OB-6 and if I actually needed an analog poly I'd be all over it. If I actually did like the original Wavestation and I saw the Wavestate, I'd probably launch the Wavestation from a trebuchet (which everyone knows is the superior siege weapon). ![]() I should say that I do approve of a modern, $700, small hardware synth that takes the concept of a beloved original and thoroughly updates it for the current environment. Lots of cool 80’s tunes where synths were prevalent.Ĭan’t think of a better synth for this type of Duran Duran, NiN, Level 42, Pet Shop Boys stuff. No biggie but I’ll be gigging with this in an 80’s Tribute Show this summer. No effects as I prefer all CPU power be devoted to modulation routings and polyphony.ĭon’t’ judge this on the Stored Performances, they’re acceptable but way too much chick a boom stuff, and FX are overdone. Im using 2 synth waves, one with MultiFilters, the other HPF to make a basic synth sound, then adding WaveSeq’s or sampled pad type sounds. Wavetables, Bells, Strings, Synth Waves are really big sounding. Starting from scratch I found at least 70 sounds that are only a single part out of the 4 available parts that are great as standalone sounds. This synth is meant for signature sound sculpting. Speaking of Omnisphere, WaveState is a hardware Omnisphere + Wavestation on Steroids. is also using these external FX on Keyscape/Omnisphere. Using Strymon and Meris External FX on VSTi and Hardware Synths just adds much more presence. They’re drenched in FX which are pretty good, but I still prefer using my DSP Rack and External Strymons. ![]() Once I got through the Performances which are many, I only found about 15 that were useful for me without editing. ![]()
