Weet iemand of die A van ADSR's van MacBeths een beetje snel zijn?
Het is trouwens een prototype zag ik staan.
Lijkt me een strakke concurrent van de SE-1x.
Fuse, heb je de M3X wel es bekeken? dat lijkt me eerder een concurrent van de SE-1x..werd ook ERG goed gereviewed in de SOS tijdje terug...
"It's worth remembering at this point that no two Minimoogs sound the same, and it's likely that no two instances of the M3X will be identical either. Consequently, an ostensibly identical patch set up on two Minimoogs and two M3Xs may well yield four subtly different sounds. Nevertheless, the M3X looks like a compact Minimoog, and sounds like a Minimoog. It's still a mistake to treat it as a Minimoog, because its additional capabilities make it a markedly different, more powerful instrument, and a 'touch-sensitive' one, at that. Nevertheless, the M3X retains the characteristic 'voice' of the Minimoog. So, should you buy one?
On one hand, if you're thinking about spending £500 on a tiny, 20+ voice polyphonic virtual analogue module with a squillion modulation options and effects processors, it's unlikely that the M3X will be of much interest. After all, McBeth's synth costs nearly twice as much, is merely monophonic, has no effects, and takes up a sizeable chunk of studio real estate.
On the other hand, if you're thinking of splashing out somewhat over a thousand quid for an nth-hand Minimoog, I would suggest that you take a very careful look at the M3X. It's far more flexible, both in terms of the sounds it makes, and in the ways you can use it. It's at least 20 years younger, and should have far more of its life ahead of it. And, for the most part, its sound is classic, vintage Moog.
Moreover, the M3X is almost certainly going to be cheaper than any working Minimoog, leaving you with enough spare cash to buy a powerful effects processor to spice it up even further. Who said that the British synth industry is dead? "
over de envelopes:
"If there is one quantitative difference, it's that the envelopes on the M3X are not quite as snappy as my Minimoog's, nor do they have the same amount of effect on their destinations. I understand that McBeth has already eliminated the latter discrepancy by increasing the gain of the VCAs driven by the envelope generators, but I'm not sure how he can speed up the Attacks. After all, manufacturers of analogue synths have been trying to emulate the Minimoog's sub-millisecond Attack for more than three decades, and, in my experience, only the enormous Technosaurus Selector has managed to do so."
