    I think this is a very interesting concept. Hearing these two side by side i was struck at how possibly incorrectly I've pervieved their tones.. Rollins i thought would have been bigger richer. Coltrane "smaller". All those loud partials seem to make the sound almost more square in a way. Waveform may be an interesting comparison as well. Immasuming this is just spectral info and not wave shape. I may be wrong. Either way, it seems that our lexicon when it comes to tone needs a dose of reality, or science so that we understand what exactly it is we are hearing.

    It's good there's finally a competitor to the Aerophone and a pity it falls so far short. My must haves are bite-sensor and buttons instead of Akai pads and that left one choice: Roland. The one thing where falling short is a plus is it looks like it would fit in airline carry-on. I would love a version of the AE-30 that fitted carry-on even if had to be packed diagonally.

    How can they expect the musician to play this with different lag times between certain note combinations. That is absurd. Just save your money and get a properly designed Roland AE-20 from Patchman Music. The sounds are way better, there are hundreds of great sounds, and it is a far more professional instrument for not a whole lot more money.

    Great review! Looks like a nice design, but what happened with those side keys?! Man I wish these windsynth makers would just give us a damn VA synth instead of lousy samples! Love the inclusion of the wireless audio, that’s a fairly unique feature (though I would also make more use of wireless MIDI than wireless audio). Also love that you don’t seem to need a neckstrap. Some nice design choices, apparently hurt by cheap implementation. Subscribed!

      I agree with you - but as a windsynth player, sounding like a “real instrument” is not all that interesting to me. I’m not sure I think “sounding like a real instrument” is the right way to judge a windsynth. Most keyboard-based synths sound nothing like a piano - and that’s fine, because they’re a synth, not a piano! 😁

      @@bodhibeats8257 my noire piano i doubted seriously till I was able to match several recorded CFX grands sounding 99% similar to those with the editing options they give you. I matched it 100% to Ryuichi Sakamotos CFX grand, literally every small sound, detail, even noise floor is identical I've never been more impressed by a vst. The only things that's slightly different is the sound of the damper obviously as they all sound a little different, but seriously if I played the recording perfectly, and you do an Å B comparison, you COULD NOT tell the difference. The point of sounding like the real instrument is how beautiful it sounds and the art of music and fine sound it produces. I can't find an instrument enjoyable if it doesn't sound like the real thing, especially if you need to record. VSTs specifically from performance samples, are extremely close to a natural sounding Orchestra and it's insane. If you add your own reverb it can sound 1 to 1, the hardest thing to replicate are solo instruments, but the Guo Cello is a fantastic example of how good articulations can be.

    • @bodhibeats8257
      @bodhibeats8257 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JohnnyADi Agreed all around. If you want to reproduce acoustic sounds with your windsynth, have at it! A lot of joy to be hard there, and of course it can be done well. I like the SWAM physically modeled instruments - but there are good sampled-based ones as well. I was simply saying that *for me personally*, unnatural and novel sounds are more interesting. And, I was saying that synthesized sounds are themselves worthwhile - an instrument need not sound like a “real” instrument in order to be good or useful. I think a filtered saw wave is about the most beautiful sound on the planet - and there’s nothing real about it. 🤷‍♂️

      @bodhibeats8257 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JohnnyADi BTW, I also use Noire as my primary piano. It’s great. But it’s not a keyboard-based synth as I referred to. It’s a sampled piano library that can be used with a MIDI controller. If you buy a hardware synthesizer, most will not be capable of sounding anything like a real piano. And that is fine - the point of them is not to sound like a piano. I’m saying the same thing is true here - the point of windsynth is *not* to sound like a saxophone or flute. They’re synthesizers, that’s why they sound like synthesizers. I think it would be more fair to compare a windsynth against other sytnths, instead of acoustic instruments. (This particular one doesn’t seem to hold up very well against other synths, either. 😁)
