This is one of the most recent synths out there so everybody's still getting used to it.
Pigments is new, expanse is kinda new, Parsec is old, Serum is old, Thor is super old etc.

Yeah somebody needs to hit up Aiyn Zahev, Kevin Schroeder, Arksun and Howard Scarr. Tell them about Europa. No one does does EDM refills anymore.

There is this free soundbank which is quite nice.

As to the rest of your complaints... well, it is what it is. But I think it sounds great, am happy with the name. If the name Europa reminds you of a moving company, I say fire it up and let it move you.

The name always reminds me of a Tangerine Dream track...

If you ain't hip to the rare Housequake, shut up already.

Damn.

I am working on a ReFill for Europa (80s sounds, many bread and butter super useful patches) wanted to have it ready before Christmas but I am a perfectionist. Should be ready in January. I love Europa. It is a mind blowing synth.

Europa Relay is a really lush set of sounds, Iโ€™ve gotten a lot of use out of it.

It's Greek mythology, man - as in "Europa (consort of Zeus)". It was popular for some synth manufacturers to give old Greek/Roman deity names to their wares back in the day (Roland's Juno, Jupiter; Alesis Andromeda;). Props carried on the tradition with Scandinavian mythology in Thor. That said, judging by the planetary/moon icon to the left of Europa, I'm guessing they named it after the moon first (which is obviously named after the classic mythology deity).

Europa goes right in line, and sounds pretty bad ass IMHO. And yeah, Odin, Ragnar, or Loki would be cool - maybe they'll tap those for a future project. :puf_smile:

Can you confirm - does it have 50 patches, or 150? Because someone can't math on the Shop Page: :shock: :? :lol:

Europa sounds like a supermarket , and that logistics company is everywhere they even sell toy trucks , http://www.europa-worldwide.com

That said it is a good synth , but the name should be something in scandinavion history like thor , that would have been cool , and cool names sell things , bitwig for a daw cant get over that still what a rubbish name , hopefully more sounds come out and people love this synth , because ill make it one of my main ones coz it sounds nice and i will hve to try that relay refill ๐Ÿ™‚

Must be a regional thing, because from where I'm at - Europa sounds pretty awesome as a product name, IMHO. ;)

And don't worry - people do love this synth. It's one of the best parts of Reason 10 IMHO (aside from Grain), and even the VST version of Europa made quite the positive buzz (judging from the reviews and recognition Propellerhead got from MusicTech/Future Music):

If Europa can run in Intro it simply should work. Need to check that though. (good question)

I guess they could have just called it Gold Pillar or something but hey it's a good wavetable synth that has 3 wavetable engines on it.
Not talkin oscillators man lol full engines running in parallel.

Europa is doing great: https://www.vox.com/2014/11/24/7272929/ ... -good-news

So therefore it's a great name for a great synth.

Its down to the extra plug ins that you might have put in the combinators , that has annoyed me where i buy rack extensions and some of the patches dont load coz of the missing plug ins
