Analog Modeling Synths user reviews

The Clavia Nord Lead 2 is a modern day synth designed to emulate vintage synth sounds, dubbed a "virtual analog" synth. It has a unique pitch shifting stick and a wheel to go along with it.…

(Originally written by Bill3107/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I use it with my Macbook Pro + RME Fireface (to reduce the CPU load) under boot camp, but I only use Midi and audio from th…

The Korg MicroKorg is a three octave synth with a huge variety of uses. It has pitch and modulation wheels, as well as a built in vocoder and a 1/4 inch output to send the signal to your amp. The syn…

Micro Korg, with 3 octaves. Has modulation and pitch control. Also resonance, cutoff, sustain, and tempo controls for synth settings. MIDI and 1/4" out connection. Vocoder accessible. 1/8" …

Good! The vox feature is pretty nice also Price paid $500.00 UTILIZATION Breeze! Quality: Great for the price! SOUNDS Good for fill ins and basslines OVERALL OPINION Love it! Originally pos…

For the MS2K's intended purpose of being a Virtual Analog Modeling Synthasizer, it boasts virtually anything you would want in a VA Synth. My reason for not giving it a 10 are because of the limited …

I. 8 band vocoder - nice!! ii. mini keys - which needs some getting used to iii. included (pc?!??)condenser mic - which i don't use - so i use my own mic instead iv. the usual pitch bend and mod whee…

The features were a little herd to learn but there are so many places to learn them Price paid $400 UTILIZATION Its a little weird to get used to Really good qulity SOUNDS Very powerful for th…

I would have liked to see more oscillators available,but for the price paid it seems to fit for everything you recieve.I also would have liked to see bigger keys. Price paid $400 USD UTILIZATION …

Needs an extra oscillator, but probably be improvised by using the timbres. Other than that, it's fine. Price paid £244 (€350) UTILIZATION A bit tedious to edit at times, but the time taken up is…

It is only bi timbral and is only 8 polyphony. Also the lack of distortion and reverb still bothers me, maybee a third oscilator would be nice but isn't a must. Price paid 1245 EURO (2750 dutch gil…

Extremely good performance control in terms of Motion Sequencing, Velocity/Ribbon assignment to any parameter, great Pitch/Filter/Amp LFO options for the mod stick......but.... The MIDI implementatio…

All the features are great. This synth has superb capabilities of changing all dynamics of sound. The volume,pitch,and Tone are what make up sound and this K-Station is jam packed with tweeking optio…

This unit is jam packed with features (concidering the size) theres all teh effects you would need, great filters and loads of good presets to get stuck into. The keys are a nightmare but plugging an…

There are not any on-board effects. UTILIZATION Couldn't be easier. 4 part multi-timbral and no effects. Very few hidden menus, all of which do not affect the sound creation side of the synth. Easi…

Very satisfied with the features. Only real downfall is the number of voices it's capable of at once. $450 UTILIZATION Tweaking the predefined settings is fairly straight forward and the menus for…

Your basic feature set for a synth, plus a great vocoder, external processing and effects abiltiy. The 8 voice stacking feature is very nice for massive sounds. The ability to blow out all factory so…

Great vocoder with the formant hold feature. Polyphony is lacking with only 4 and 2 if you use 4 oscillators (2 timbres). The keyboard is small bue it think it has a nice playing to it feel with nice…

The only things that I are missing from this synth that slightly annoy me are a MIDI THRU port and storage for additinal sounds and percussion kits. It took far too long to track down a reasonably pr…

This is a soundgenerator.. a _real_ synthesizer. It doesn't have any reverb and stuff like that built in.. i prefer it this way.. That makes the synthesizer less expensive which often makes you able …

This synth is MSRP 800$ so we'll keep that in mind as I talk about the Alesis ION. Alesis kept this unit so cheap by putting all of their effort into the sound, so let me talk first about where ALESI…

- What type of keyboard (synth, piano...)? How many octaves? It's a small keyboard, narrow keys, short, with just 3 octaves. It's got dynamic touch but no aftertouch and doesn't feel that great. - W…
