thanks, thats good advice. it is true, i love it as ive stated many many (probably way too many) times in this forum. but i also love the a4 for different reasons. maybe one day i will sell it for the pro-3. it is very appealing. i hope someday elektron makes an a4 with a synth as nice sounding as the pro-3
interesting that you still use it alongside the ob6, thats good to know.
the Take-5 is analog, only has vcos and has pretty solid fm implementation. it’s actually my favorite aspect of the T5, aside from the core oscillator+filter sound. without it, it wouldn’t be nearly as flexible for timbre sculpting and sound design that i like to explore so much. i wonder how it differs from the pro 3’s implementation. the take-5 has it (osc2) as a source in the mod matrix, so you can fm the filter cutoff or waveshapes, etc. i could see how the pro-3 would be valuable without that exact feature, it just seems like a weird & unfortunate (for me) to change it. i do like the idea of having a wavetable osc for modulating the carrier though
you can do some crazy things with it, especially when combined with osc sync, as demonstrated with my weird broken trumpet patch here: Sequential Take 5 five voice poly - #778 by Encephalitislerthargi
i think thats the best part, that you can combine osc 2 fm of vco 1 with oscillator hard sync, which is pretty powerful
and some more subtle and musical waveshaping, as illustrated in this patch: Sequential Take 5 five voice poly - #769 by Encephalitislerthargi
but i apologize for derailing the thread. should focus more on the pro-3 itself here
