Thanks Matt for the great sounds and your kind words! The presets have been uploaded to our website, in the news section.
Thanks was desperately searching for them 🥰
Congratulations on a phenomenal synth!
This sounds amazing 👍👍👍
Suena muy groso!! Felicitaciones
first, congrarulations. second; did i hear a ring mod in a polysynth? imo thew ringmod in polysynthsa is not implemented enough... now, make shure 8 keys get proper ring settings, i believe it might not be that easy to biasd 8 M's to sound together in accordance with kbcv....
Since the E7 found his way in my studio, the Prophet 10 gets used less and lesser. To my ear, the E7 is so much more pleasing.
Argentina! What a great surprise.
I just really like hearing Matt says “synfs”
and "polysynfs"
The best sounding analog poly I've ever owned. Glad it's getting more attention!
I fully agree with you, Matt. I had the good luck to review it for the German Amazona online magazine and I was really amazed how vintage and characterful it sounded in comparison to a lot of modern analog synths, like from sequential.
5:34 was a great patch. Reminded me of all those strange British TV series for kids in the 70's or 80's where there was a mystery cave or something.
Yes!
Vamos Argentinaaaa!!!
Boy, you weren't kidding when you said beautiful sounds! Absolutely gorgeous. I bet you've had a great time creating.
Thanks Matt. You were a primary inspiration for me making the e7 my next piece of analog kit and I couldn't be more happy! I'm using it with my Osmose atop a Crumar Seven digital piano running through a Boss RE 202 Space Echo pedal and between them, I'm in heaven (specifically, 1978 heaven.) Vibes for days and days. This thing 'out-analogs' my Prophet Rev 2 and my Moog Sub 25 put together. "Characterful" is the proper non-word for this little beastie. Your patches are absolute 🔥🔥🔥 and you GAVE them all away. What a legend!
I had the privilege to play in Genesis tribute band with the creator of this Synth. Congrats, Guido, for this beauty. Hope you can play it with us some day.
I've had this synth for about a year - it's really great and a relative unknown amongst many synth-heads. Really nice sounds Matt! They weren't in my E7. I do wish I had gotten the Blue edition - it looks very cool. Nice work Matt and GS Music!
You can download them
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Oh man, that makes my day. Thank you again!
Love your showcase of the GS E7. I just received my blue E7 yesterday along with a Melbourne Nina. I have to say that the E7 is really really powerful and organic sounding. I have the two new arrivals side by side and I will probably get lost for days.
Both great synths
Ooo you're right. I love the way that sounds. Thank you for the demonstration!
Amazing how you capture the soul out of every instrument and sound you lay your hands and mind on.
Best synth on the market
The E7 is truly underrated. The presets are so lovely on that thang. Cant wait to add it to my roster.
The synth exceeds abundantly at those spacey like sounds , beeps and random noises. Nice sounding filters !
Great sounds, Matt, and wonderfully demonstrated - that synth has oodles of character! Vamos Argentina!
It sounds beautiful. Lovely playing there, Matt. 🌅
It's also available in 4 different colour combos! 👍
Vamos Argentinaaaa
Carajoooo
Ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar. Queremos ganar la cuaaaarta. Quiero ser campeón mundial.
Wonderfully atmospheric and distinctly analogue! Some early Vangelis sounds in your creations there. Dare I say even some Tomita? A special, unique instrument in capable hands there.
Thanks for the owl graphic from the late late show, really brought me home
I have the E7 and it’s my favourite modern analog synth,. Your patches are amazing and show sides of the synth I’d never even known were there. The pad at 11:00 is perfection
damn!! this sounds amazing, so much character! Going to be hunting one of these down for sure....that blue/white version is sublime!
Wow sounds really good! love the demo and of course the playing :)
The E7 sounds loooovely - a good combo with a Super 6, perhaps
this character thing you mentioned I absolutely agree. The GS7 sound is what I normally think of when I talk about the "analog" sound.
But Matt: I would LOVE to see and hear a comparison between the character of GS7 and Nina. I love the Nina architecture, but somehow, so many sound examples on yt haven't that mojo-factor like the GS7 - it seems like a GS7 is like a Moog (sounds good whatever you do) and on Nina you have to work on it to find the sweetspot of a sound...
Does one go bettet with the Vintage Vibe, and one with the Montage? They both seem to blend as far as color, on the screen at least... but I mean the sound. Some people who owned Nina have said it gets hot. Maybe that one's better for cooler months and air conditioned studios?
If you care about a random's opinion at all, I owned both the e7 and Nina. I kept the e7 and sold the Nina because I was so let down by its sound--I really hate the filter on it. The motorized controls were cool, but it didn't matter because I kept going to my e7 or Waldorf Iridium instead.
@@user-kx5fs9jy1g there is nothing more annoying when the synthsound is in a soundbubble which sounds "not good" (however you feel that) in the first place and you can't escape from it, no matter which knobs you turn :))) 2 days with that experience and I am out ...
The sounds at 2:50 and 3:00 minute mark are my favorite. Very expressive and hauntingly beautiful pad/keyboard sounds, I have ideas already for them , they sound perfect for neo-soul / r&b music like Jamiroquai lol.
Loved this synth when I tried it. Gives me the same vibes as the Peak (probably due to warmth, size and affordability) but as you say, it is so unashamedly analog, they would complement nicely.
That patch at 03:43 is worthy of being a signature sound.
At the 2:10 and 2:54 mark this enters a dreamy plane of sound, incredible sculpting of sounds thanks for sharing! Great gear demo and exploration
As always, awesome sound sculpting and sound demos Matt! The E7 is a great under the radar stealth synth!
What a knockout set of patches. The thing I love about your sounds is they always seem to be very player oriented. I am a keyboard player and it seems like many patches that come with synths are more sound effecty.
Yes I feel the
same
This synth is right up there the poly analog warmth paradise with Studio Electronics Omega serie.
Thanks a lot Matt and GS Music!
I've been waiting for a loong time for these patches, since you mentioned this in a video almost a year ago :)
Defintiely one of the more interesting synths on the market. No doubt.
always watching these trying to get my sound selection right thanks matt
I love my E7🖤
Beautiful synth.
Uff me invade una patriótica alegría al ver el reconocimiento de Matt y, no menos importante, de la comunidad local (Argensynth; etc.). Lo probé en una feria que se hizo hace un par de años en la rural y casi casi que ya estoy para dedicarle los justo mangos que sale, jajaj. Tengo varios fierros, incluso rarezas, pero me encantaría ese albiceleste en casa (Estudio Midimusica). Felicitaciones nuevamente!!!
I feel like you have sold me on this one honestly! Seems easy to use and sounds like a million bucks. That blue is so nice too
Great synth indeed! I have one as well (the grey version). Will definitely check out your sounds asap! Are they in a update or something?
Check on their site
Beautiful sounds and beautifully sympathetic playing that really brings them to life.
Matt, your not only a brilliant keyboard player, your sound design is so good. Would love to see a patch list by you for the Arturia Polybrute …
A lot of modern analogue synths that have digital control seems to lose what makes analogue sounds analogue. This one thank goodness really sounds like it. Its the one that got my attention.
What a remarkable instrument, in the hands of a skilled keyboardist and sound designer! It really sounds uncompromisingly "organic", i.e. it is artificial yet it reacts as an acoustic instrument. Kudos to this clever Argentinian bunch of developers, and - once in a while - what a beautiful light blue livery with white knobs! My favourite colour, shared by the stylish UDO underneath, and I guess/hope not exclusively chosen for national reasons ;-)
I have been looking forward to these. Thank you, Matt! They sound amazing!
My e7 stands its ground in a rack with an OB-X8m and P6m. They complement each other extremely well. Where the Oberheim/Sequential synths require the vintage knob to really sound - well - vintage, the e7 doesn‘t need one. It is, as someone put it elsewhere, the most vintage sounding synth on the market. And IMO it has by far more Memorymoog vibes than the Trigon-6.
Yeah it’s way better than the Trigon
Hey Matt--Have you had a go on the Trigon?
Always a treat when we get a Matt synth vid , cheers from AZ 🌵 brother!
Great full bodied real analogue sounds. A great showcase!
Sounds indeed very good. Thanks for sharing and the robust role for the UDO Super 6!
Matt , he got the vibezzz
Looks like a good synth, with some wicked sounds. Very nice.
❤ Each time I hear an amazing sound, you are playing the Super6.😊
That synth sounds amazing, so versatile and cool sounding
Oh yeah. Can’t wait to watch 🙌🏼🔥 cheers from germany. Domenique
hei Matt , some of those Rhodes and synth harmonies remind me on Adam F album Colours , just add sometimes few note mute trumpet pass on that :) , Nice synth .
Hi Matt,
thank you for this wonderful demo. Very deeeeeep bass. I like that.
This is a stellar synth, it offers a little more than the ones that it sounds similar to, so that's not a bad thing imo.
In your hands, it's the goods.
Argentinian suscriber here. Love the sounds and the matching jacket.
😊
Sounds great. I particularly liked the sounds just after the video of the flying owl(more flying owls please), which had a Japan "Visions of China' vibe, then the one after that had a 70s Herbie vibe. A really versatile piece of kit.
Wowsers. @09:20 that's something different! Kinda like fireworks going off in the background. Really interesting!
Yes, it sounds great, and I know it does MPE; but lack of response to PolyAT is a deal killer for me. Lovely demo as always, Matt!
Is the MPE feature different from Poly AT?
You can see here commercial for UDO's supa robust faders 😂😂😂
True it’s built like a tank
It sounds absolutely amazing. Man, those chords you play are just beautiful. I would love to hear you play and program a Korg Poly 61. A Poly 61 can be had for about £500 and it would be great to hear what you come up with using a Poly 61. They are a really nice Poly synth with a very raw analogue sound.
Lovely sounds!
The pad at 3:30 sounds really fantastic, otherwordly... Great synth 🎩
pure magic! thanks for this video.
Great sounds! 3.29 Instant Gary Numan'y feeling.
Incredible !!!!!
Now that you have played this and the Moog Muse, how does this compares to the Muse?
I hear very interesting sounds from the the e7. But the Muse seems to be a bit fatter sounding? I guess the e7 is no brainer, I like the sub osc. The muse it has keyboard and other bells and whistles but had some interesting sounds. For the price don’t know if the e7 makes it a better buy.
Amazing sounds 👌
wow yes this is good, character abd quite a spectrum of sounds !!
It really does sound lovely and yes, I agree. Modern analogue is often boring (even if on paper they should be impressive) . Tempting! 7:37 on is absolutely gorgeous..
I have just got lost for a while in your 'Enter Grid' patch. If you sustain a load of notes, whack up the res and lfo 1 filter mod, you get a terrific William Orbit sound.
Sounds incredible!
The UDO Super 6 is an incredible stand! :D
Just joking,
Great sound btw!!!
Looms like the GS7 is levitating on top of the UDO6 :-) Great sounds. Very tempting. From what I hear this is not prophet, not Oberheim, something different :-)
Great synth and great patches Matt! Heard some great Japan/Tin Drum sounding ones I think... and an excellent kind of Vox Humana-ish one in there too?
Yes those kind of vibes
Thank you Matt & GS, YES IT REALLY DOES SOUND WARM mmmm😂
Fantastic sound !! !! ✨✨🎧🎧Thanks for sharing !! 👌👌
Im surprised all the sound is coming out of a Analog Synth, some familiar sounds and some very unique.
GS orgullo nacional!! (National pride)
Wonderful synth, great video!
I saw you in Berlin/Gretchen great Show!! 🧡
Thanks that was a fun night!!
i love listening to you play this synth. Sublime. FX dialed in too
this sysex file is welcome indeed! Thanks Matt! any way we can get a list of presets for reference? are any of them optimized for MPE? the few I've tried on my Sensel Morph (RIP) sound pretty great, `
Amazing demo!
Now that Perfect Circuit is distributing it in the USA I'm tempted to replace my OB6 with this. What do you think - can it cover OB6 territory? I found OB6 a bit limiting in modulation capability and like the voice split options here - enough to give up the famous sweep-able filter. How are the knobs? Solid or wobbly? Hardware feel is important IMO.
I personally prefer it to the OB6 although that is a good synth
Love the sounds in a Rackmount Package
Beautiful sounds. We would say, "il a du grain"!
Love the Gary Numan bit
Keyboard companies should be airdropping you money. All your videos are nuts.
What a sound ❤ love it
Would be nice if this Synf and some full blown Rhodes jazz bath chords were used on Jamiroquai's next album. :) we all hope it's not all (down with the kids) dance disco pop. Keep hope alive. Mizzel vibes...
Can you make a video on how you go about making patches? You’re able to make so many, it would be incredible to see how you get so much diversity.
I already did a video about programming you can find on my channel
Bought the blue one, too but sold it to get the black one. Yesterday I even sold the Melbourne Instruments NINA as I prefer the E7 for analog poly sounds.
Matt, do you create a soundbank fir the E7 as you did it for Nina?
My opinions tend to be quite binary. Things are either good or bad. I appreciate and love analog synths and some popular modern analogs haven’t met my expectations bearing in mind the pedigree of the manufacturer. In chasing the sound I’ve followed heroic synthesist’s leads and bought vintage gear and although it sounds exquisite finding the tech support is proving a no-go where I am. It’s great until it isn’t and then you have a problem on your hands. Cue GS synths. I’ve chatted via email with Guido and I love the ES-7. I will love his future releases too. Why go vintage Roland when a modern GS synth sounds as good with modern MIDI compatibility and reliability. Give the big US brands a swerve please. Argentina has an amazing new company producing sounds of yesteryear without the negatives. GS synths - allowing analog to breathe xx
man that does sound raw but I would suggest to you Matt to try the mfb synth pro it’s the working mans moog one
