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.
Yeah it’s too bad NI don’t make a machine like that. Oh wait…
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.
Winning.
Just what I was thinking.
Looks tasty.
