Access Virus „Virtual Analog“ Synthesizer access Access Synth overview / überblick.. VIRUS TI SERIES <– click to enlarge.. die TI funktioniert bisher nur zum editieren, die audio latenz ist für den normalen betrieb noch relativ wackelig mit OS 1.06, klanglich hat er aber kein Problem, hyperSäge und Rechteck morph mit syncklingt schon nett breit.. wenn auch nicht so breit wie ein analoger Oberheim Xpander oder sowas.. er ist optisch nochmal verbessert, oder besser haptisch: die matrix und die effekte kann man nur sehr gut überblicken und weniger umständlich als in…

Test: Roland JX8P Polyphoner Analogsynthesizer

– the Roland Juno + Alpha Juno Synthesizer Series ROLAND SYNTHESIZER images (click the pic to enlarge it – if available) JUNO SERIES its simple user interface and the absence of ringmode, crossmod or any other „dirtmaker“ is responsible for the juno’s sound that always sounds „good“.. but is also reduced to the minimum. it has DCOs (one DCO plus SUB with pwm,saw,noise), it’s not as versatile like the jupiter series but this may be the cause for the name: juno a moon of jupiter?.. it’s LFO has one waveform…
