Members MuzikB Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 [video=youtube;ogr_ip466E4] Only $2000 at Noise Bug. I'm curious as to how this is going to hold up against the MiniBrute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Citizen Klaus Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 A $2000 synth vs. a $500 one? More money, more features. And (evidently) a different sound palette. The more sensible comparison is probably with the Little Phatty. Though I'm willing to bet that, despite the price gap, the Minibrute has a nicer keybed and wheels. This CME-sourced stuff does have a good feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more sensible comparison is probably with the Little Phatty. Even though it has fewer knobs I would just go for a Little Phatty. If you have a keyboard controller already you could get a couple of Slim Phatties, a Slim Phatty and a FR XS, or a Little Phatty and a used analog sequencer or a new FR Orb. Inexpensive Oberkorns come up over at muffwiggler.com fairly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuzikB Posted July 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 {censored} that, I picked up a mint Leipzig Rack on Craigslist for $450 not more than two weeks ago. Was it worth it? How's the sound? The filters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ RAZZ Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 It has a very nice sound. I think the edginess is much better than the DSI PEK. It has an old school analog sound but just a bit cleaner. If it had a keyboard it would be nearly perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members U&I Posted July 3, 2012 Members Share Posted July 3, 2012 Was it worth it? How's the sound? The filters? For the price, most definitely yes though it's a rather unruly beast and can sound rather rude too say the least. Nowhere near as polite as a Moog for example and it has a unique character of their own and is superb for bass sounds and has sue interesting mod routings.

Members U&I Posted July 4, 2012 Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 Closer than the Mopho keyboard? It's an utterly different beast altogether.Some things to bare in mind - It has 24db ladder filter but it's not as steep sounding slope wise as a Moog filter to these ears but it does have stupid amounts of bottom end I must confess and can sound utterly brutal on bass sounds. The envelopes are a tad funky - try one first (they are stupidly fast and incredibly snappy) don't get me wrong, they just seem to behave differently to envelopes in other synths I've used and take a bit of getting used to. Both oscillators have independent glide which can make for some insanity if used on both or on one and not the other. VCO2 Sync works with VCO1, LFO Square wave, and any External Input. It thankfully has a noise generator Modulation is more in-depth than you'd expect tooMod destinations are VCO1 pitch/VCO2 pitch/ Filter (Cut off)Mod Sources are VCO1: LFO try/sq/, EG1 and VCO2 SQVCO2: LFO, tri/sq, EG2, Midi (modulation CV/CV2)Filter: LFO Tri/Sq, VCO2 SQ, Midi (mod CV / CV2) Both VCO's have PWM the LPF has EG1 and Keytracking also. It does however have bucket loads of character (which is what I love about it) and it's rather idiosyncratic interface is fun once you experiment some and get used to envelope behaviour.

Members ChristianRock Posted July 4, 2012 Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 keyboard version is NOT the same spec. Ok, what I assume is: Leipzig - 975 dollars at Analogue Haven - 2VCO monosynth moduleLeipzig-K - 1499 dollars - keyboard version of LeipzigLeipzig-S - 1199 dollars - 2VCO monosynth module with analogue sequencer built-inLeipzig-SK - ?? - keyboard version of Leipzig-S I could be wrong...

Members hogberto Posted July 4, 2012 Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 Closer than the Mopho keyboard? yes. the sound is more raw, less polite, than the mopho keys. more like the pro one in that respect. (i have the leipzig-s rack, not the keyboard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
