Arturia Origin

[Tony Scharf]

Well‚ I will have to give it a look.  My trend is toward less and less
hardware though, and 2k is still quite a bit of cash.

Another one that I have been thinking about is the specktralis 2.   Now that
the os is at v1, I wonder if it lives up to promises?  I got to borrow one
that was v.97 and that was pretty good...

It's 2k, but Arturia has had price drops on everything so I'm not sure if
it's going to pop back up. One thing I learned is it's not a hardware
version of their softsynths, and it's not really ment to be. The minimoog is
the only pre built synth that comes on it, though pre built versions of the
other v synths are supposed to come in an update. You can of course build
your own versions of the synths, though one note - the SOS guy who was
reviewing it maxed the cpu trying to build a CS80. But it's really about
building monsters that never existed, moog oscillators to jupiter filters
and so on... the routing looks pretty deep, 4 parts multi(each with their
own effects), analog style sequencer. It's basically an analog style
workstation. Apparently the presets suck ass, even though a minor thing, I
think this really messes with peoples first impressions who don't bother to
dig down into the synth.

Apparently (according to the liner notes) it was used on Vitalic's Flashmob
album, which has a sound I dig. Though I'm sure there is a French connection
somewhere in that.
