      @@annother3350 oh, no, I'm saying the 61 is a horribly weak synth. I'd also say any 4-op FM synth is horrible except in the very narrow sense that BACK IN THE DAY they could make a wide-range of crucial sounds, albeit badly, at a good price point. I'd also say that for today any 6-op FM is equally crap, as software is effortlessly capable of doing far more. I'd also add every one- or two-oscillator mono-synth like the SH-101 and Pro-One and MS-10 to that list of keyboards so weak they're a waste of time even enumerating the weaknesses of.

      One thing is that it's nearly impossible to gig or jam in Japan--where would you do it in a country where apartments are 600 sq ft. and houses have such thin walls you can hear what your neighbor's watching on TV? So keyboards tend to just stay in the house and don't get too dirty.

      @lqr824 2 роки тому

      @@HotStrange basically it lacks any and all power of digital, and yet also misses out on half the appeal of analog by 1) digital-controlled oscillators. Hold two notes together and there's zero beating, zero fatness. After a while it sounds like just one note. In contrast a Polysix will always have a little detune sounding far richer when you do the same thing. 2) no cross-sync or FM ability like the Mono/Poly. 3) 6 notes polyphony isn't much either. Korg only made one more 6-voice synth, and even that, the DW-6000, was a marketing gimmick to get people to upsell into the DW-8000. Granted 6 is better than 4 or 5 like Jupiter-4 or Prophet-5, but still not much. 4) lost the Polysix's great effects 5) only 7 steps for PW, PWM 6) no sine, triangle waves 7) only 16 LFO frequencies, absolutely not enough
      All in I'd far rather have a Polysix.

      @@lqr824 lol seems like you’re just way too picky. It’s senseless to compare synths and measure their worth based on that. You could argue that with any synth in comparison to the Moog One for instance, and none would measure up. I see a synth as it’s own instrument, and on its own, for what it is, the Poly61 is pretty cool.
      I’d rather have a Polysix also, but I’d also rather have a Minibrute 2 over the MicroBrute. That doesn’t make the MicroBrute bad. That’s just a bad argument.
