As you can see I am a little in the dark about it. I see A/D conversion rates for audio are typically at high resolution, but not so much A/D conversion rates for external modulation. Are you saying that analog to digital CV conversion for modulation on these machines model continuous curves at a high enough resolution that they would not be noticeably aliased as MIDI CC (and it would have to be MIDI CC if it's being converted from CV, right?)? Because that's not something I have noticed in specs. Up until now, I hadn't really considered CV to MIDI. When you say monos that do duo/paraphonic, in your opinion does the Analogue Solutions Impulse Command qualify?
And the depth of the menus on the A4 gives me pause in terms of workflow (not that it's a dealbreaker per se). I'll check out the Minilogue XD in more detail. I think this is a good use case for Minilogue XD. Most (all?) polys will be A/D converting CV anyway. Perhaps with exception to the Moog One, there are better bassline machines than the polys mentioned, subjectively ofc. I love A4 but it's not a bassline machine (it has plenty of superpowers elsewhere but might disappoint for traditional bass.) I'd defo look at monos that can do duo/paraphonic personally. Pros: Nice complex polyphonic sound-shaping, onboard sequencing, and as an added bonus it's one of the best designed, best-looking synths I have seen Cons: No CV, and are the oscillators analog? EDIT: digital oscillators. Pros: Nice complex sound-shaping, enough CV ins to make it worth looking at Cons: Monophonic, one channel. Pros: four-voice polyphony, a wide array of LFOs and envelopes, and powerful onboard sequencer Cons: only two CV ins I would consider that nominal but perhaps acceptable. (I'm not a fan of the orange color of it, but I can live with that.)Įlektron Analog Four mkII. Pros: Nice bass sound, plenty of CV ins, three-voice polyphony (or maybe technically paraphony?), onboard sequencer Cons: pricey, large, but those aren't really cons. Pros: Nice bass sound, plenty of CV ins, onboard sequencer Cons: Monophonic (though demos make it sound like it might be two-voice paraphonic or something?).Īnalogue Solutions Fusebox X. Pros: Eight channels of highly configurable and tunable sounds Cons: No CV.Īnalogue Solutions Impulse Command. Pros: Nice bass sound, plenty of CV ins, onboard sequencer Cons: Monophonic, one channel. I currently have a Vermona PerFourmer mkII with the CV expansion, and I might be covered, but I am always looking at the other options that might be out there. I have looked at a number of other standalone analog synths, and in particular those that are also polyphonic and feature plenty of CV modulation, for use to make complex, layered basslines. And the Pulsar-23 is unparalleled in terms of its avenues for CV modulation. Background: I have a Pulsar-23 and I love it, but what I really love about it is the BASS channel I wish all four channels of the P23 were exactly like the BASS channel.
