Members Swami Digital Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 No problems, man. I like a few softsynths but, yeah, I'm mostly a hardware nut. I don't need to worry about migrating across evolving operating systems or computer hardware...but that's another can o' worms entirely. BTW - welcome to this forum! Thanks! I've been lurking around for a year, just not posting much. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delicious Lamprey Problem Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 The Motif is meant to cover a larger range of sounds. The Prophet is meant to cover a specialized range of sounds well. As you said in the other thread, those sounds didn't fit with your music. That doesn't mean that the Prophet is inferior to the Motif, just that it isn't the right synth for you. For someone who is looking for that particular type of sound, however, a Motif wouldn't come close to providing it. What I'm saying is, it's like you're making a direct comparison between a similarly priced bass guitar and electric. Of course the bass guitar isn't going to appeal to you if you want to play the electric. At the same time, if you want to play bass, using an electric with an octave pedal just won't work. It's just an analogy, but it illustrates why I think it's a flawed comparison. The Nord Lead is a better comparison, for example, because it tries to do similar sort of things. (As a VA.) -D Hmmm. I strongly disagree -- I think the Motif can cop the vibe and a whole lot more -- and can sound simply better -- but, this being music, and with our all having different ears, that's probably as far as we can take the comparison.

Yeah, I guess we'll agree to disagree. Although I hope I won't end up agree'ing after the initial excitement and feel I am wasting money on the Prophet! >.

Members Delicious Lamprey Problem Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 Ha! Glad you like the avatar! I really hope you continue to enjoy the Prophet - like any other instrument, in the right hands it'll shine. I'm sure it's not wasted money!To be fair, I have weird hearing; lots of things sound harsh to me that others seem to be able to tolerate. I seem to be sensitive to stuff in the upper frequencies, and I can hear a tap dripping from three rooms away. It's not really a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members keybdwizrd Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 In case anyone missed them, I've made a bunch of Prophet '08 demo videos, that (hopefully) give some indication of what this synthesizer sounds like.

Members MuzikB Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 that explains it, we all must have left hands.. The P'08 just takes more time to get used to. A filter unit and good FX unit don't hurt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, really. :poke: Just needs a highpass and a good chorus and reverb for House. I still only find those filter settings useful to me but now I'm having a lot more fun with it.

I've been thinking of that for a while. Any one that uses Logic 7 or 8 needs to have an MC Mix. Period! The VF-1 is great in my opinion for my music, but some may not find it to be aggressive enough. I have a friend that doesn't like it much for that very reason but he's more of a Progressive House -n- Hi NRG guy. He just needs to calm the {censored} down IMO. The VF-1 Valve overdrive is not as apparent as the Tube Gain and Drive on the EMX-1. It gives just enough to give any digital sound an analog flavor which is why I love it in use with my M3.

Members MuzikB Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 Well, yeah. I liked the P'08 through my Moogerfoogers, too! Then you should have abused it that way. The P'08 by itself belongs in a cover, Rock, or Fusion band IMHO. It's going to take some extra for other styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urbanscallywag Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 And kill your wallet. An Alpha Juno, Sherman, and H3000 would be the same as a Prophet08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy is ass right now. Only thing folks have extra loot for is gas. My budget cap went from $2000 to $400 as I believe the worst is yet to come. After Omnisphere, I'm pumping out tracks with what you see until we are no longer in a recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use NI Guitar Rig & some PSP plugins for that right now. I was thinking about getting a VF-1 for a while, but I don't think it's worth it for me to use it as an outboard processor with my current AD/DA. Maybe someday when I upgrade to Lucid converters. However, it may be worth it to me as a dedicated filter for the Prophet.-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
