I love the synclavier, I'm grateful the company is in the hands of someone who equally loves the history/sound of these instruments. I cant wait to try and purchase one.
I’m very impressed by this, and can’t wait to check one out. Seems extraordinarily deep and complex, and what other people see as bugs may be features (and the rest of the concerns may be fixed easily)
@@cameronjones906 Someone on Gearspace emailed Synclavier about that, and the answer was tepid. The response implied that the knob and Regen aren't well integrated at this point
Where's the great, military-grade red pushbuttons? I had the pleasure of maintaining two Synclavier IIs back in the '80s. Mono sampling on a huge hard drive that held a whole 5 Megabytes! Entering musical scores via a VT100 terminal pre-mouse. Powerful, but took a lot of effort. Got to visit the company in Vermont a couple of times and met Sydney and Cameron.
It was a very advance workstation in the 80's, i love the Arturia version, it's so massive and expressive, you should ask Tony Banks from Genesis to make some patch for it, im so happy to see those hardware version, the original cost a fortune i think the producer of the band Propaganda use that synth, like sting and Frank Zappa too.
I'd love to use this live when on tour. Always looking on something as expressive as FM but with my own samples. Being a sounddesigner, I hope they keep optimizing the workflow of importing and looping multi samples. Btw, what's the internal sampling rate?
Nice. For the Money it’s not bad. Not my first choice but after owning montages and kronos, I would own one if there. Even with lacking some modern features.
Clear winner here is the Iridium compared to this. It may be deeper in areas the Iridium isn't, but overall, seems to be a better product than this. Plus, hands on controls.
I finally figured out what bothered me about this one. It suffers from the same curse as the DX7 - very powerful and deep but incredibly hard to program and understand. So I think it will eventually be reduced to a preset machine, with users doing minimal tweaking.
Bullshit. I went to Full Sail and got to be quite proficient on the Synclavier - I also owned a DX7. They're incredibly different machines and approaches. - they sound very unique. The Synclavier was actually rapid and quick to use - much, much more so than the DX series. Everything was at your fingertips and both the additive and FM were quick, logical and intuitive. Not sure where you got this idea. Reliability, superb quality and ease of use is what you paid for.
I imagine it crashing ... Has it crashed.... I ask because I owned a new roland cm and paid a ton for ... it kept crashing and I returned it I flip through the video and everytime it is explanation and then someone clicking buttons and calling up... man ... it sounds good the times I hear it but tedious and annoying. I assume once u know what youre trying to make it could be great once you're finished... if you're a noob. Maybe try something simpler.
A big NO from me after watching the LoopOp video. No knobs, no delay, no synced LFO’s. Sounds nice but it’s missing fundamental features that even cheap gear has. Paying for the brand here.
Sounds like a poorly programmed D-50. Massive potential here though! I'd love to hear what Daniel Fisher would do with this. Btw, legacy support is what's gonna sell this IMO. Reminds me of VAST. 🤔 kinda..
Just for the record, I was asked by the interviewer to do that as he wasn't sure he had been pronouncing it correctly. We do get that question a lot. But we really don't mind how people say it.
I enjoyed the subsequent pronunciations from Craig and the keyboard player ... at the beginning Craig sets the record straight: it's "sin-CLAY-vee-er", but they kept saying "SINK-la-veer" afterward. Old habits die hard I guess :)
Ok. Having played an original this is ok. The problem is the small size. This is a complicated device. Unless this has a way to show editing on a monitor it’s a beautiful sounding pain in the ass. Just like the original was. Sorry but that is my experience with the little itsy bitsy LCD displays. PAIN IN THE ASS.
So it's not pronounced Synclavier it's pronounced Synclavier 🤔 he was a bit aggressive about that I thought!? strange people strange interview, weird looking ugly device. Not sure it's going to be a success.
This isn't really a demonstration because it lacks the sound in most instances! It's mainly technical talking points which doesn't help in my understanding of this machine!
Saw it ,played it at the show. .. want one. Nothing sound like this unit. I LOVE IT
Wish it had the big knob.
You can buy that for $350 extra…no bs lol
I understand not having sampling inputs but, is there sample editing on board?

They talked about it more than using it

Played from a QS6. That’s great!
24:45 accidental Relax
the Behringer SynCrapier will be $199
Oh man, this seems like a LOT of fun....
Moog recently fired quite a few people who manufactured Moog synthesizers. Maybe you can hire some of them.
Some nice sounds there. Will be interesting to see more reviews and, also, what updates they provide.
nice nice .........just thinking 12 partials is like 12 stacks /layers of sound
Well, they should have kept the silver knob anyway, at least a small one, half the size of the original.
You can plug in the USB Synclavier knob.

@@GizzyDillespee You are literally responding to the designer of the synth 😂

At last something that tops up the access virus TI2
Ken Freeman used Synclavier a lot - be nice to hear the old Tripods theme on that.
Just amazing,! Will buy one

Would LOVE to own one of these.
Sounds exactly like NI Absynth to me.
Looking forward to this.
There really is a lot of excellent high end gear out now, with this, the C 15, The 3rd Wave, the OB X8...
The Waldorf M ,prophet 5/10 , ob6 , hydrasynth
Haken Continuum, Kyma Pacamara, Knifonium, Moog One, Waldorf Quantum/Iridium, Schmidt 8 Voice, Buchla Skylab + Easel, better win the lottery hey
@Synth&CoffeeGuy now if I could only afford some ;)
got it sounding great. thats a useful tool for the money.
Will someone make a VST?. Maybe I don't know.
The same developers already did in a collab with Arturia, the Synclavier V.
Finding this a bit meh, especially for the dollar.
It kinda looks like a Zencore backing track player/sequencer/arranger module from my fever dreams.
I'd love to use this live when on tour. Always looking on something as expressive as FM but with my own samples. Being a sounddesigner, I hope they keep optimizing the workflow of importing and looping multi samples. Btw, what's the internal sampling rate?
According to this, 24bit max. But samples can be bit reduced down to 1bit, apparently.
With all these partials, tracks, sessions, and voice count, I’m getting a groovebox vibe.
Nice. For the Money it’s not bad. Not my first choice but after owning montages and kronos, I would own one if there. Even with lacking some modern features.
Interesting

Clearly this is better. I agree with you, it’s deeper in most areas
does it have analog filters and fm?
It’s the FM algorithm from the original machine I developed 48years ago. The filter is a digital model of a 4-pole filter.
It fits my mini Mac😀
I finally figured out what bothered me about this one. It suffers from the same curse as the DX7 - very powerful and deep but incredibly hard to program and understand. So I think it will eventually be reduced to a preset machine, with users doing minimal tweaking.
And yet FM synthesis still managed to make a massive impact on modern music.
Go figure.
SO your opinion is based on actual user experience or just assumptions ? :)

The last crash bug we found was more than a month ago.

Phew, glad you got that out. I was worried all weekend about you!
Didn’t he say at the beginning of the video that it’s a different instrument in its own right?
He also mentioned synced lfo’s at about 11:40 ish seconds
So many tears

Why would you NOT edit out the whole “glare” part??? Waste of time.
because he wanted to undermine him.
What bad bad demo, please know synthesis
Love how the first thing he does is school us on how to pronounce the name, classy.
It's been a light-hearted forum topic previously... it's almost a synth meme, but maybe a little bit more niche of a meme than the Mooog/Mohg thing😅

Just unbelievably overpriced.
great job at making this seem like the most boring release of the year
Small box, big sound, too much cost.
much to expensive
This user interface seems like a joke tbh
Looks cheap and tacky

my wife will kill me if i buy it , for the moment i can afford the arturia synclavier , this synth synclavier regen look really nice
