Members sleepykeith Posted October 3, 2009 Members Share Posted October 3, 2009 i'm really falling in love with the small footprint of the mopho and evolver.can anyone suggest other companies doing something similar (compact, real time editing, analog)? it would be nice to break up the DSI sound. i know the future retro revo and the nord modular as a VA. are there others?

Members soundwave106 Posted October 3, 2009 Members Share Posted October 3, 2009 i know the future retro revo and the nord modular as a VA. are there others? Future Retro Revolution isn't VA. What's your definition of compact, anyways? The Future Retro XS is pretty small compared to a keyboard... about twice the size of an Evolver though. But it kicks some serious analog butt.

Members sleepykeith Posted October 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 DSI Tetr4 while i'll probably get that eventually, i'm looking something other than DSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franz Schiller Posted October 5, 2009 Members Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yes I realize the Blofeld is a VA but its very small and some folks seem to think its swell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sleepykeith Posted October 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2009 Future Retro Revolution isn't VA. What's your definition of compact, anyways? The Future Retro XS is pretty small compared to a keyboard... about twice the size of an Evolver though. But it kicks some serious analog butt. compact like the size of the evolver or smaller. it would also need to be in that $400-$700 used market price range. patch memory and a sequencer would also be a plus. the XS is too nice... i'd never want to take it out of my house. just looking at the options out there it really does speak to what an achievement DSI has done with their line of desktop synths. they're not perfect, but their still quite amazing considering what they are at their price point.

Members bruto Posted October 5, 2009 Members Share Posted October 5, 2009 Korg EX-800 without rack ears.... Seriously?! I've had one for years. Everyone badmouths it, yet it's one of my favorite synths. Certainly a unique sound. Here's a quick demo I made a few weeks ago with the EX-800 running through a Sony DPS-V55 effects processor (mostly reverb and one slap back echo.) 800 Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One nit pick: I wish they'd made the box bigger - just to get a little more space between the knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One nit pick: I wish they'd made the box bigger - just to get a little more space between the knobs. it's pretty much between this, the tetra or the FR revo. the dark energy's size is one reason i'm willing to overlook it's lack of other features.
