Vongon Replay 6-voice Synthesizer

honestly… I thought that is what made it special?? I love black. But the visible text labels/logo is killing the whole vibe.

I was close to buying one. But this put me off… hm.

Also is this a cool synth for the buck? I’m not so sure. But I some kind of love it. But then again… I can afford it. But is it worth the price? Guess I first look on 2nd hand market. Not quite sure anybody who bought it would sell it tho.

I bought it last year but ended up returning it because of the little to no space between some knobs. Call me picky. This Synth, though, sounds fantastic! I’m not in the market for a 6-voice Polysynth right now (I’ve bought the Artemis recently) but this black beauty is calling me. I could even forget the spacing « issue ».

hm wdym knobspace? did you squish your fingers between two?

You have 2 rows of 3 knobs on the Synth. I forgot to tell you that I bought it with the intention to play/tweak it Live.

No but it was uncomfortable to turn them with only the tip of your fingers. The knobs have a strong resistance.

It does look pretty cramped in that regard now that you mention it.

Is the new Black version USB-C now?

I just hit up Vongon about the usb c upgrade kit. They haven’t publicly announced them yet, but they do have some available. He just asked me to pay the shipping cost.

Got my black Replay this week. It is absolutely marveolus. Not just the sound, also the esthetic and formfactor. I own OB-X8, 3rd Wave and other highend synths and it’s nice to sit down with a more simplistic one once in a while. Good work Ryan!

I can recommend order caps with text. Almost forgot that. :sweat_smile:

Did a very fast recording without effects for you who just want to hear how Replay sounds like. I´m not a keyboard player, but I can push som keys. :slight_smile:

Yes and no. It´s inspiring to have a synth that doesn´t do everything, but sound really good. On the other hand you can get more sound for the money with another synth in this pricerange. I like the sound and the formfactor - it is a nice looking synth and it is nice to play on it.
