Hi Everyone!
I would love to see a hardware version of Subtractor.
Who would buy one?
I'm not talking about a controller either. There is an image of a controller (like a mouse matt style) knocking about online. I mean an actual physical hardware version you can use outside of Reason or within.
Pick one option in the poll.
Thanks!

I mean, it’s a cool idea, but it would have to be made really well, but also ridiculously affordable (think like $50 or less) to be worthwhile, given the glut of other amazing hardware synths out there.

Think about £250 ($326) would be a fair price and would sound better 'cause it's analogue. I should've included Thor in the same thread. Thor would probably have to be analogue / digital wouldn't it?
Why so cheap?

I would buy a hardware unit that could host REs.

How would that work or do you mean just a controller like the Subtractor one?

If it was analogue, it wouldn't be Subtractor. It would just be a hardware analogue synth that happened to use the same interface as Subtractor. Subtractor is as digital as dial-up. It has an olden-times non-zero-delay-feedback digital filter. It has a "low bandwidth" button to add extra digitals. It has wavetables.

I suppose you're right yeah. It would still be cool though and I'm sure it would sound nice.EdGrip wrote: ↑13 Aug 2020If it was analogue, it wouldn't be Subtractor.

I just mean that a digital box that could host RE instruments and fx would be of great interest to me. It could have a few assignable buttons/sliders/knobs but you could only cover a few basics at a time without reassignment due to the variety of REs but if it was designed with a specific midi keyboard in mind that would open up more parameters that could be assigned at one time.Creativemind wrote: ↑13 Aug 2020How would that work or do you mean just a controller like the Subtractor one?
Give me a hardware box that hosts combinators AND has 8 macro knobs and we're talkin' .
I guess a 3D printed case with a Pi4 + dac head running the core code would be cool, but the case would be the most expensive part and RS are never going to release the actual code to produce it.
I think the Deadmau5 cgi version of Serum was cool, and I definitely would have sold shit to buy that.
How do you create polls on this forum?

noooooooooo way I’d pay that much for a hardware Subtractor. as others have pointed out, it’s a digital synth. it sounds good, but for that kind of money, you can get something much better sounding than Subtractor, and probably a lot more flexible. the cachet of being able to say I’ve got a physical version is definitely not worth an extra $275 above what I think a hardware version would actually be worth to me.Creativemind wrote: ↑13 Aug 2020Think about £250 ($326) would be a fair price and would sound better 'cause it's analogue.

I voted yes.
Why not?

But synths like Subtractor wouldn't work properly in a rackmount unless you were thinking of a surface type thing, not sure I'm following you correctly here?

I was picturing it as a 4U (7") height synth that would be rack-mounted. Checkout Novation SuperNova RackMount 4U as an example. I.e. all the physical knobs on the front.Creativemind wrote: ↑15 Aug 2020But synths like Subtractor wouldn't work properly in a rackmount unless you were thinking of a surface type thing, not sure I'm following you correctly here?
If it was like that, I was thinking that the rack that you buy could be made to look like a Combinator, by painting it white, and having a few knobs/buttons at the top of the rackmount, just like a Combinator. Hope that's clear
I don't get the hardware synth's hype. I mean playing live you need to turn knobs and re patch cables between every song. I think of it like I would need to restring my guitar in between every song.
