saturax08 « The most convincing analog emulations I've heard »
Published on 10/10/12 at 15:31Emulation of analog synths. 3 octaves, with 6 buttons and sliders that you can assign any function to change the sound and thus evolve live. 3 oscillators and many different filters.
Sturdy construction (aluminum, buttons screwed to the plate as the output jack)
UTILIZATION
Ultra simple and intuitive. It has easy access to sounds and menus because everything is very well classified and the entire keyboard is a contribution made to facilitate access. Very good ergonomics. Buttons and sliders very pleasant and efficient. I prefer the version 2 sliders wheel unlike most Miniak which offers 3 knobs.
It also goes without saying that it is much more reliable than any old analog 70s. It is still important.
SOUNDS
I heard a lot of analog emulations and for me the best offers micron. I find it far superior in all respects to a microkorg for example.
What is surprising is the amount of different filters it offers emulations filters with well-known as Arp or moog to mention only the most prestigious. And the fact that it is!
I found the factory sounds pretty good overall, but it's worth also delve into the issue because the possibilities are endless!
Once placed in a mix (and even without any mix for that matter), but an evil who can say that this is an analog emulation.
It is also conceivable that the micron contains the same synth engine as its big brother the ion! Himself famous for its sounds. That explains it ...
OVERALL OPINION
I like everything on this synth. I have not talked about the design but I find it excellent, which does not spoil anything. For me this is the instrument or the Arp odyssey minimoog the XXIst century, much cheaper of course.
Initially I had big doubts about emulations, especially after hearing the microkorg or other machines, but then I really totally changed my mind.
The Miniak the same characteristics but I think the design and configuration with three wheels less successful. Moreover, it is a shame they have replaced the beautiful aluminum case with micron black plastic on Miniak.
I definitely adopted micron.
