Synths with fast Program switching (via Program Change messages)?

I’ve read the Novation Basstation II is very good in that regard. Are there any other synths that are capable of fast program switching? I’m thinking a different patch on each step triggered :stuck_out_tongue:

Blofeld is pretty fast with program changes.

I remember reading in a review that the Pulse 2 was good for this as well

Thanks a lot! That’s some food for thought for me.

I wish I hadn’t sold it before I bought the Digitakt (well, I had sold it to fund the DT, so… :wink: ).

I sold it 3 times and bought it 4 times. :joy:

The last one, I’m gonna keep it.

I had bought it once, got the second one as a gift :slight_smile:

I really liked it, but I could not find any way to include it in my setup, so I sold it twice.

Nord Lead 4 and A1 can change instantly between 4 patches if you use the 4 midi slots separately (and there’s 4 audio outs).

OB-6 is pretty fast too, but not as fast as the AnalogFour/Keys.

Subsequent37 is the slowest in the entire universe.

Virus ti2 and digitone …

Also I’m fairly sure there are some poly synths/apps that can complete the envelope of the previous sound after you make the change. Really nice & I know I’ve encountered it but can’t remember where! Maybe the Micron?

Yep, the Kurzweil K2500 definitely plays out the previous patch envelope + fx when switching sounds. Cool ability.
