Re: Random Stereo Imaging Pedal - Vertigo?

Are you sure you want to hear the panning jumping around during the sustain of a sound? If you use noise to drive a Sample & Hold module which will produce stepped control voltage you could then inset a Slew Processor between the output and the CV input of the Panner module to smooth out steps and ...

Re: "Test" CDs

I experienced ten KH150’s at that Jeff Beck auction, they had them arranged in a circle, to play the audio from videos of him playing live. It was very impressive, high volume too, I thought they were using a sub, but they weren’t. Fork! And I was struggling to find TWO in the UK! (that's eff ...

Re: A new synth from ASM - the Leviasynth

Multiple oscillators only really come into their own if they also have independent amplitude envelopes, as well as non synchronous start time. phase and detune. According to the manual the Leviasynth has all the above covered :-) Just had a listen to the Sonic State review, nothing there to tempt ...

Dave, have you got these yet? This is important, if you can tell me in no uncertain terms that they have changed your perception and made recording a lot easier for you, the best 2k I’ve ever spent, then I’ll buy a pair.

Re: A new synth from ASM - the Leviasynth

Just had a listen to the Sonic State review, nothing there to tempt me, I know you can’t go by the reviewers choice of sounds, but it’s the same old same old 80’s sounding stuff, with a few "lush pads"
Way too complex for me too, a non-starter, on that basis alone.

I’m thinking of buying these, but was wondering about potential cone surround deterioration, is this an issue with these? Any other related problems to look out for?

Re: "Test" CDs

Any classic Floyd album is always a good yardstick, amazing how those albums sound so good, they are just very good recordings.

My Moog Grandmother has two oscillators, the other night I turned one off and preferred it, I ended up with one.

Re: Boss GT10 for keyboards

I haven’t used a GT-10, but I have used a GT-6, which i think you said you also have. The sounds are nice enough, mod effects and delays are good. Distortions and reverbs less so.

This was given to me as you probably know, I was thinking of getting a pedal to use with my Moog Grandmother but thought this will do.

Re: Polybrute 12 or Summit?

Might be £300 in 2026 but back in 1999 a Triton 61 was £1799. That’s worth roughly £3500 now. So very similar pricing in relative terms. In 25 years the Poly Brute may well go for £300. But we are where we are now, and for me personally, that extra £2,700 doesn’t give me a proportional increase in i ...

Yeah, I've been thinking about whether the summit might be a bit more versatile in terms of variety of sounds vs the polybrute. But the polybrute might be more expressive to play vs the summit.

Re: Polybrute 12 or Summit?

As usual, no one keyboard can do it all, a friend has a Summit, it’s great, I’ve also played the Polybrute, it’s very expressive as Eddy says, but IMO it’s not worth it just for that aspect, as I found the overall sound to my ears just a bit thin. I’m in the market for something similar, and I'm look ...
