You said saturation. Did you tried Selig Coloring EQ saturation ? If so how does RX950 compare to Selig saturation ?Marco Raaphorst wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018I bought it. It's a great "more RMS and more sweetness device". Adds pressure to sound, more RMS in a unique way. Nice saturation and low tech data.
Agreed - I should have added that it works very well for this task, something most S900/950 owners were familiar with (initially clipping the inputs when sampling). I first read about it in a Keyboard Mag article. Wrote a longer post mentioning all this on my iPad, then responded on my main computer (forgetting the original post). Anyway, fixed now!joeyluck wrote:There was a fix that is now available. This behavior wasn't intended and wasn't present during beta testing, but as Mathieu explained, was a bug introduced sometime during the acceptance process. I think what willbe is describing, is the use of the input gain knob, and the deliberate, manual adding of loudness.selig wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018Quick sanity check…
The RX950 adds 9.25 dB of gain - are you suggesting the original S950 added that much gain as well? I'm pretty certain my S900 didn't add any gain by default. So yea, it's going to make your instruments sound louder for sure!
Input in Blue, output in Yellow:

That's my only disappointment with this otherwise stellar device. Additionally, it would have been nice to see the original input meter to help with intentional clipping for effect.
And although I have tons of sample from my S900 that already have "the sound", I'm sure to find many uses for this device in my rack!
Selig Coloring EQ is fantastic.Voyager wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018You said saturation. Did you tried Selig Coloring EQ saturation ?

That sounds great. A bit BoCish, which I like. Going to be checking this RE after work today & over the weekend. From what I've heard so far & the fact it's only $19 & also that it looks like a perfect RE device that fits the rack like a glove .......... thinking I might be hitting the BUY button quite soon after the TRY buttonKirkMarkarian wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018Here's a short track using the RX950 on the entire track:
I used:
Kong (all synthetic drums)
Parsec
The audio chain:
Distillery > RX950 > Kuassa
I like the warmth it imparts, as well as the ease of use. In this case, it's got the sound I want, and few, concise knobs. Love it!

With no disrespect intended - the RX950 is a tiny little piece of what Decimort 2 is. If you guys are really into these kinds of devices, you're missing out on the best device in its class, IMO. It even comes in an RE version for just $30 more. Worth it if you ask me.
I own Decimort 2 RE and just played around with 12 bit mode, while adjusting many of the controls and the filter. Seems like it can do it all with its many controls, so I agree. I use to own an FZ-1 and FZ-20M and this does great emulations of those sounds. Also fun to sweep the filter and/or the frequency range for a neat effect.

Don’t know about noise, but as for the rest I guess that depends on what happens when you crank up the input (preamp). My guess is yes, but I don’t own Decimort.Marco Raaphorst wrote:Is Demort also adding quantisation noise on low input and ODD harmonics and added rms value on a hotter input?
This is true. I played with Decimort 2 vs the RX950, at times achieving a close sonic match, and totally unable to match at other times. Clearly RX950 is modeling something distinct here.
Funny how that works isn't it? I guess it was only matter of time before people realized that sometimes things can be a little too clean or "sterile" as some would say. The RX950 really does add a lot of character from the noise and the saturation from the input gain. Very desirable sound!wendylou wrote: ↑26 Mar 2018This is true.

Anyway, I was perusing some comments on another forum and someone remarked how they found it rather funny that modeling the S950 today is something we seek, i.e. to degrade high quality digital recordings, considering that back in the day, everyone wanted the S950 to keep sounding better than it was capable of at the time!
