Pretty nice. Iā€™m no expert, but my ear would like the clap in the first to be less on the beat, or ā€œlazierā€, i.e. more microtimed

Just realized itā€™s now possible to create wow/flutter effect on the delay using the slewed random LFO on the delay time in the FX track! sounds so good!

Getting to know the Syntakt better, I think I was able to sculpt the sounds according to how I want them to be on this one. Except for the Reface DX bell tone at the latter part, this is all Syntakt. Thanks for listening.

Really nice, especially the cymbals! What machine are you using for that sound?

1013

Thanks :pray:

Cymbals are the default cymbals from the analog track 12.

I love Syntakt default analog cymbals.

Oh, thanks.
Iā€™m currently deciding between Syntakt and Digitone II as a xmas present for myselfā€¦ I must confess Iā€™m torn between the immediacy of the first and the more sound sculpting options of the latter! :slightly_smiling_face:

I have and love both. One question might be how much do you need polyphony? Assuming theyā€™re the same/similar price, the DN2 is the superior machine, IMO. Syntakt is awesome though

The question is probably more phylosophical in his nature: will I spend all the time making sound design with the DN2 instead of writing songs? :joy:

Seriously speaking, polyphony Is not so important for me, but i fear the machines from syntakt are going to be a bit limited in the sounds palette that can create.

If you put in a little time, you can get so many cool and creative sounds out of the Syntakt, itā€™s silly

Agree! They kinda managed to get depth and accessibility in perfect balances.

Gotta find the edges and intersection of which there are many :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

(More LFOs would be great though, or doubling destinations as on the A4 would be great.)

Glad Iā€™m not the only one :sweat_smile: they sound good with almost everything

I guess you already know this, but you can get a used Syntakt for a bargain right nowā€¦ I may be a little biased, but I think itā€™s probably the better choice for the money right now.

Yes, youā€™re right.
Iā€™m eagerly waiting for Thomannā€™s cyber week sales; Maybe there will be a nice discount for Syntakt!

Very possible! I got my Syntakt e25 from Thomann only a few months after the e25 edition came out - and it was $250 less than MSRP. I donā€™t remember if they were doing any particular sitewide sales at that time but just giving you hope that they may put up some good discounts :grin:
