New Synth from Native Instruments

[mdcdesign]

Judging from the controls/waveforms shown in the video it looks like a virtual Nord Lead. I still say they'd be clever to sell a MIDI keyboard with a physical 1:1 representation of the controls offered in the software. The entire unit could be sold for less than £200, WITH the software, and would significantly eat into the Korg/Yamaha/Roland marketshare.

I think they could make a killing off a hardware software keyboard combo. However I think would require a reimagining of their entire soft synth lineup. Or maybe they could have something like FM8's easy view where you can tweak simple parameters and then have an expert view for getting Into deeper programming. I have a little phatty that I love playing with because its way faster to tweak and play with sounds, just wish I had this same feeling with soft synths

Massiver.

I need NI to come out with good software and hardware packaged up. 16 pads combined with a bunch of rotaries and other buttons would make the deal pretty sweet!

Yeah it's too bad NI don't make a machine like that. Oh wait....

also I love this youtube comment

"a new soft synth! ...must buy! ...unlock my hidden creativity! this soft synth will revolutionize the way i make music. not like the last one, which said it would, but didn't. this one will make me a musician. it'll be totally different from all the others. it'll make waves that sound like hello and goodbye. i should totally buy this. if nobody else notices it, i'll be revolutionary."

lol

Would be great if NI finally introduced a keyboard to go along with it.

Been pondering this at work all day. I think i'm getting tired of soft synths. Never could work out a midi mapping that I would honestly choose over the old point and click for editing sounds. Just seems more efficient for me. Hardware is starting to look really good right now and some of these new synths are pretty reasonable. I heard someone say that if you figure in the cost of your vst's along with the price of updates over the years it's not too far from the cost of hardware these days.

I think I might just ditch komplete and switch to a pair of synths and operator.

Massiver.

Winning.

I'm thinking it will be stand alone, but have reaktor, or something like it, also so you can build things for it your self, they can make new things for it.

it will then turn into a reason like synth / app over time.

Just what I was thinking.

Looks tasty.
