- Planning to have this video for a while. I usually take an extra, small form-factor synth with me on live. Here I attempted comparing these for synths I have for the purpose and explain what I like and don't like in those.
0:00 Intro
2:16 Moog Sirin
5:45 DSI Tetr4
8:35 Dreadbox Typhon
14:21 Korg Volca Keys
20:53 Summary
Have to admit: after creating this video Nymphes joined the race and dominated eversince.
Excelent video, thank you! Would you recommend the Nymphes? Make a video with it! Thanks
@@THESHINE-ns3jk I love the Nymphes, its amazing with a good keyboard or sequencer. 6-poly is very handy. Will do a video for sure :)
Yes, love the Nymphes
Great review, nice hearing your feedback regarding performance capabilities.
Hmmm I find the Tetra very easy to work with live. I have a patch ready to go and another on the combo mode, I can easily tweak the filter, and envelope and well as detune the oscillators.... I think one thing that you fail to mention with the volca and dreadbox is the lack of pitch stability... I use at least 4 synths per show. They need to all stay in tune...the DSI is digitally controlled and tunes itself.
I’ve just purchased a Tetra. Do you edit patches in the box, a software editor or midi controller?
Thanks. Chapters would have been good for a vid like this. Cheers
Agreed and added. Thank you for pointing out!
I have a couple Minitaurs that I use all the time, always eyeing the Sirin but it's just so expensive. Do you actually use SIrin pitch above C5 very often? Minitaur is such an awesome bass synth and I have so many other monos and polys that I think I just have GAS.
No, not very often. These complementer use cases would have been the reason to go upper octaves (like in the video), but even in this scenarios I prefer others.
Tbh, if I hadn’t have this for cheap back then (or if I have sold it by now), I would not buy it today. The only reason I keep it because its a rare magical item, but not much of a use these days. Its a pretty nice sounding but simple monosynth. For the price you could almost buy a Sub37 which has way more sounddesign capabilities and a keyboard. Also, dont forget: Minitaur goes down to 20hz, Sirin goes down to 40hz. Not that I felt the missing bass, but still, the fact already hurts a little. :)
Fight the GAS, buy a typhon or nymphes instead. Dreadbox is the manufacturer that compares to Moog for me. I also have an erebus v3 and its just out of this world.
@@minoclue thx. I didn’t know minitaur goes lower. Nice. I already have the sub but I like desktop units like in your video. I don’t have a single Dreadbox yet but as soon as a decent used one comes my way I’m in. There’s a few models Im into but a good assortment of built in effects does sway me even over polyphony. Cheers.
@@minoclue …and yeah, stupid me didn’t even know that Sirin was a thing until after it went out of production, and I already had that minitaur. Was a good price back then.
Do the Digitakt midi channels drive the stuffs?
Yes, each track has some melodies mapped to each device. Although, apart from the Sirin, all of them have an internal sequencer.
Put all these in the bin and forget about them and buy a gramaphone😊
