NI’s “Revolutionary” New Synth Teaser

Anyone else seen this?

More here:

yawn

Already got Reason 5.

In all seriousness, NI would be far better served pushing out a cheap(ish) MIDI controller and a software synth as an all-in-one package, kinda like how they did with the S2 and Traktor.

I’m totally waiting for that too. 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!

I’m sort of hoping this new synth is an actual synth, and not a soft synth. Seeing how they have been putting out hardware left and right over the last couple years, this seems somewhat like a logical next step. That being said, I can’t help but feel it would be slightly underwhelming next to a Virus or Prophet. Crossing my fingers though!

Nah, it says on their site it’s a software synth. No hardware for you!

I want it.

I don’t think we will see any new MIDI controller soon as their MKII version of Maschine are pretty young on the market. However if they do a more “traditional” keyboard thing, then yes, I would be in. Something like my beloved Novation Remote would be great.

As usual we’re still 2 weeks or so after another teaser, a month before all the official info/pre-release.. and then in september they’ll include it in Komplete 9… only speculations :wink:

I’d love to see them push out something more than just the generic midi keyboard controller though. Something like a Virus TI would be awesome. Having an amazing VST integrated seamlessly with solid hardware that would also take care of the processing and give my cpu a break. On board ins and outs for standalone use which could also be doubled as an audio interface if so desired. All at a $1000ish price point.

Oh one could dream…
I guess I just want the Virus :stuck_out_tongue:

Massive 2.0?

I don’t see the added value for NI to release a hardware + software combo. They’ve got a good thing going on with Maschine, integrating all their instruments into that one. Users can buy a generic midi controller for detailed control of those instruments when the Maschine doesn’t work for you.

The market for generic midi controller keyboards is crowded enough as it is and the newer models hardly add extra features, so what would NI want to do in that?

I like the sound of the new synth, but owning Komplete 8, I think i’ll wait till it’s included in a Komplete 9 upgrade.

Massive 2 or massive replacement or Massave or Masynth or Mosynth or Mysynth or Moshive. for crying out aloud what is the M in the video for?

Threads merged!

sounds like an ms20 imo

“Monark”

Sound like a real time circuit modeled VA synth to maybe compete with Dvia, but more modular. Judging by the prominent M for monark which sounds kind of like modular and hints in the video it looks like a modular interface.

It could be a dedicated controller with software which would be cool but probably software.

it’s definitely not massive 2 or anything like that

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.”

It’'s going to be a modular stand alone VST, With a reaktr backend.

SO you can buy the “basic” VST/synth. Then add(buy) modules for it. kind of like a dopher. The reaktor back end will allow you to make custom modules for it.

They probably molded it after a bunch of modular synths and even some of there down vsts and other analog synths.

I don’t think it will have a midi side to it, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

If it’s another reaktor ensemble like razor it will be useless (and would also rule out PSpice-esque real time circuit modeling- the demos sound better than reaktor). If it has its own modular interface and doesn’t run in reaktor it will be cool.

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.
