GAS

[foRUMS 4 punkdISCO]

Hey Ron

 

The Vermona did not grab me as it comes across as being a bit too “standard”.  There are so many new-school mono analogues out there, you need a few unique points or to be inundated with every feature known to man (like the Pro2 and the Sub37).  Is there anything special about the Vermona that I missed?  Maybe its just the sound that’s it main selling point?

 

Ta,

The Vermona 14 is the one that I'm most interested in.

I must confess that I suffer from serious GAS these days. There's so many new synths I want to buy :-)

Moog Sub 37, fantastic interface, great sound and lots of cool synthesis features. They have really stepped up since Amos joined them.

Korg MS-20M, i really like the grittyness you can achieve with a MS-20 but have previously found it a bit limited sonically (maybe just because I haven't spent enough time with it) and I haven't really liked the physical format either. The recent demos of the new features (pwm, sync, fm) really sound nice and the desktop look is really nice.

Arp Odyssey, wow, I've always liked the sound of it. Wish they hadn't been so conservative though, why not put in some modern stuff as well, like velocity for amp and filter. I'm on a preorder list for a Mk3.

Sequential Prophet-6, a poly analog is just what I lack in my arsenal (not really counting the poly abilities of my Elektron A4). By the demos it sounds great but I don't get the "no-screen"-policy. If you have 500 preset locations, wouldn't it be a nice feature to be able to name them to other things than 271 or 103? They already got code to handle a screen from the other models...

What's your take on this and all the other stuff that was presented this NAMM?
