Expected REs in august

[JNeffLind]

As for the sound, so far I've not heard anything that particularly impresses me in any of the demo tracks. Nothing that screams "buy me, buy me". Will have a look when it's released, but based on what I've heard so far, I think my money is safe.

Unfortunately, I agree with this. Doesn't sound bad by any means, but doesn't sound like anything new. Having laid out a bunch of money recently on REs, it's going to take something special to spur my next purchase. Being more a preset guy than a programmer, I don't expect to be getting this. Will give it a chance though.

The pic of the GUI appears to be low res.. maybe a screenshot from the video ?

You are correct, I took a screen shot while the video was playing so expect the device to be clear looking and with higher res upon its released.

I think it's no problem with the synth itself but with the soundprogramming. Pure sawtooth with just a tiny little pinch of filter sweep... that's nothing to show the full potential of a synth.

True, but I would have expected them to use sounds in the videos to really show off what it can do - not the rather ordinary and somewhat uninspiring sounds that they did use. If it has strengths in a particular area, I would have thought that they would have been showcased. Time will tell, I guess.

Yep, that's exactly what I liked to say . These videos lack of signature sounds!

What about the filter crossover feature? That seems new. Not in a position to try it ATM, but my guess it that instead of cross fading with amplitude, it's done with filters instead - if so, that sounds cool. Also, the visual CV inputs - they also seem new...

About the GUI, I think it's the oscillator section that lets the rest of the interface down - the wave selectors could be a tiny bit smaller to balance the appearance. However, those octave knobs need to be the same size - that IMO looks bad ATM.

Well, the Oscillator section looks pretty ugly, I agree - BUT did you see those tiny little 'Bands' knobs in Osc 2? They are meant to detune every single waveform of said oscillator, and that's a pretty cool feature. Never seen this before.

Looks interesting indeed and worth a try - btw, that second octave selector could be dropped altogether - is there a real need for it? Maybe just have a midi and CV input for it instead...

Different tastes and needs. I prefer having both octave selectors as they provide for quick octave tuning.

@ Exode: Guess any synth has to appeal to the broadest range of needs possible - in the end of the day, it's how it sounds. The more one looks at this RE, the less conventional and more innovative it gets. Good positive reception too. Worth a try me thinks...

BTW, I remember you on the props music forum a decade back....

Yes, it means you could tune them in intervals for creating chords, but also i.e. tune a sawtooth one octave above either square or triangle, to have the latter behave as a sub oct/osc. It's cool!

Time flies eh?

Indeed...

Have the Red 70 and the sound.... WWWOOOWWW!!!
That's not to mention the possibilities with LFOs and I haven't even tried the Filter X yet...

This is fun!

Here is another sound demo.

The reverb in this demo is it a reverb from the new synth or is it an external fx? It sound realy good.
By the way any news when this will come out or any other news

Yes, the reverb is from the synth. It is scheduled for release next week.
