Since I decided to create music dawless, I have much more fun in the whole creative process. I am very gratefull to Elektron because I think they played a great role of making this possible these days.
Sometimes I just miss some great VST instruments and I imagine how cool it would be to have some of them in an hardware version.
The last one I am thinking about is UVI String machines 2, I would love to have all these string machines sounds in a Digi format with the Elektron sequencer.
And you, which VSTi you dream to see turning into reality?
Madrona Labs Aalto, as semi-modular CV- and MPE-friendly hardware. It’s as rewarding, deep, and playable as any hardware I’ve owned, and has its own quirks and features you can’t find in any other hardware or software out there. Any of the Madrona plugins would be fantastic as hardware.
We need a hardware bitcrusher/sample reducer with an multi-mode enveloping analog filter on the end that not only performs those effects in realtime, but has the ability to hold a sample in memory, then pitch it and play it back to get authentic aliasing from stretching the actual sample. Basically, an SP1200 with variable bit rate and sample rate is what I’m after.
That would be great! along with Kaivo, with the physical plugable connections. They’re both layed out in a way that would be pretty clear how to make the hardware.
I’ve thought about Aalto, and how a Eurorack equivalent could be made.
Ohmnicide would probably be the best distortion/mangler ever.
Omnisphere set up like a Voyager would be nice (I know of the hardware controller thing).
I don’t know how you’d do it, but Diva as some sort of hardware machine in which you could switch out components sort of like a 500 series drawer would probably be one of the best synth available.
Hive would also be pretty niffty.
Punch Box would be pretty fun to mess around with in hardware form.
Some type of box similar to the Collider that housed Valhalla reverb and delays would be a dream.
NI Raum reverb as a pedal would also be nice.
Soundtoys filter is one of my favorite filters out there. I use it’s ability to self-oscillate in a lot of my stuff.
I ran diva on my iMac Pro in divine mode and with a single xenon core it was 56%. When I used all 8 I got it down to 17%. 8 cores just to play some chords.That’s how crippling divine mode at 96k is. As a prophet 6 owner though I am very impressed.
