    I will keep repeating myself. It's great when someone can demonstrate a synth by playing keys, with musical intention, and good taste

      hi sasarasa88, totaly aggree, ive made that same comment on many yuoutube videos, most synth demonstratoes just set up a squencer/appagiator [ and mearly twist knobs ] and dont demonstrate what, in my opinion is what a mono synth was originaly dsighned for, eg the minimoog was desighned so that a keyboard player could rival a guitar solo, so if you are into synth solos you might like my channell "carl aylward" where i demonstrate original [ even the few videos that do play proper solos are normaly covers , like by rick wakeman etc. ] proper lead line improvised solos, which is rare on you tube, one video is a static moving picture video, the other a normal moving video featureing the behringer modal D, , and make a comment if you wish to . cheers. carl

      Honestly, as much as I desperately wanted one of these I decided to wait because I figured my music didn’t really need one. If I had known that’s it’s actually capable of making music, instead of just epic droning blares, maybe I would have one already.

    • @sasarasa88
      @sasarasa88 5 років тому +6

      As I see it, it is a serious monosynth that you can greatly expand with eurorack modules. So yes, good for all kind of noises but equally capable for tones and melodies. I am actually having a blast creating tones on it and sampling them for playing like a polyphonic synth

I’ve been thinking about what to pair with it, and I feel like for a poly synth I would need something like a Prophet 5 for this kind of pure tone. Hoping the Take 5 might be an option, but may have to look at the Prophet 5 or 6 modules.
