Jeeez Matt you've gone in ! I've held off for so long ,but think it's time to start . My fav is the Prophet 12 and the Sub37 .

I'm about to off my MKS50 and Little Phatty towards the new OB6 when they're for sale in the UK, but would be curious to know how the P12 stacks up in terms of sounding analogue, given it's more towards digital?  Or is it all about the immense sonic palette with the P12?  I just worry the possibilities might be too much and the sound not as warm.

Hello!  Here's my latest, a track that was started and (mostly) finished around 2001, lost, then found on a hard drive, re-edited substantially with new parts layered on top and a full new mixdown in order to bring it up to date.  It's great to hear it finished, especially after 15 years lost on a drive and knowing the amount of tracks that get lost and forgotten over the years! 

Somehow it's ended up a bit like the Floorplan like sound of Robert Hood, never a bad thing...

That's helpful, thanks. Gonna hold on to see what NAMM has to show but will keep an eye on Serum and rinse out the demo. Cheers!

Soundtoys' Echoboy is great for emulating the classic Roland Space Echo (amongst many others).  Eventide's H3000 Band Delays is a more creative one, similar to Logic's Delay Designer in that you can set 8 different delay lines with panning and filtering too.  For really creative though, Reaktor has a ton of weird FX units in its library.

I was considering Serum and Massive and am curious, how much did you sell Massive for?

£50 - check KVR's sale forum for good deals.

Hi - been looking at Serum as an alternative pad synth to go with Diva and my hardware (A4, System 1, Reface DX). I was originally looking at a Blofeld as both have wavetable synthesis but at £110 Serum is cheaper. I like the integration of LFO tool into it too. I do different types of dance both solo and collaboratively so don't need teh latest vengeance / garrix / etc type sounds as such, just a good, solid, impressive synth. Is Serum it? Or Spire, though reviews favour Serum. I'm on Mac so no Sylenth.

I also have Reaktor 6, Rounds and Razor plus Ableton's suite synths (and Diva). I sold Massive to pay towards Serum so won't be looking at that.

Personally I found it too much, and it weighed down on me to use it all, or there was simply too much choice. I sold it and bought back the few I used a lot - Reaktor, Monark, Razor and Transient Master mainly. Mind you, I had ultimate.
