12 on Legs · Source: ArturiaAs I’ve gone on enough about the sound and synthesis of the PolyBrute 12 (see the above links for more on that), I’ll talk instead about its expressiveness, something that our Rob also mentioned in his review of the synth back when it came out. Calling it “the real star of the PolyBrute 12,” the instrument’s FullTouch keyboard offers three aftertouch modes: Mono, Poly, and Alt. It’s the Alt part that is unique, with three unique options for expression. This all adds up to a synth that is powerfully expressive with only something like the expressive E Osmose to rival it.Great sound, deep expressiveness. That’s the Arturia PolyBrute 12, one of the best hardware synths of 2024.Affiliate Links You are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube.

Those oscillators. Those pinstripes! However, contrary to what you may think, you can’t get rich writing about synthesizers and so it’s always been an aspirational dream for me. However, with the release of the Oberheim TEO-5, that dream is now within reach.Oberheim TEO-5 · Source: OberheimAn affordable Obie, the TEO-5 squeezes big Oberheim poly magic into a pint-size package. Like the Sequential Take 5, from which it borrows circuitry, TEO-5 is five-voice analog synth with a three-and-a-half-octave keybed. However, it has its own sound, one that is very Oberheim thanks to the dual VCOs and classic SEM filter. And that sound is glorious.If you’ve always wanted an Oberheim but balked at the cost of the OB-X8, this is the synth for you.

All that was missing was virtual analog, right?KORG multi/poly · Source: KORGTruly rounding out the lineup is this year’s multi/poly, a modern-day reimagining of the company’s classic Mono/Poly from 1981. Rather than try to compete with Behringer and its analog MonoPoly, Korg has gone the VA route – and doubled-down on the digital by offering wavetable and waveshaping oscillator types too. That means that all four oscillators can do

And quite different from one another also. I can confirm Heathfinnie, RobJB06, and Dave Peck: Used to own Chroma, Chroma Expander, and Polaris. Sold all of the Chroma synths because of a relocation and space limitations in the studio. But I loved them dearly. I still own a XPander. They are complete different sounding synths. The Chroma sounds bolder compared to the XPander, which has a more darker sound.Matthias Becker's Synthesizers von Gestern CDs has some nice demos of the Oberheim and the Chroma. Not sure if they are still available though.More about the chroma: of Becker's Chroma Demos: not find any Becker demos of the Oberheim online, but here are a couple of other ones:Factory presets of the M12:Another demo in Japanese which I like: Gear Head Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 43 🎧 15 years Thank you all for your feedback! thumbsupSo it looks like both these synths would complement each other quite well.But the Rhodes Chroma is much harder to find, probably a bigger service hog and would need all the new upgrades like CC+ and SPSU kit to be more or less reliable. And to have easy access for programming one should also have an external controller like a Behringer BCR2000 or a Mackie C4 Pro with this software: ChromaI just read on the absolutely fantastic Rhodes Chroma website that there is a Pressure Sensor retro fit kit. They say, that the Chroma has a polyphonic keyboard pressure sensor software and interface hardware, but does it also output polyphonic aftertouch data on the midi interface of the CC+ ???I use at the moment an older Roland A-50 masterkeyboard for polyphonic aftertouch, but it would be great to replace that with the Chroma keyboard.The Matrix-12 is much easier to get and with a recapped PSU it looks much more reliable and probably doesn't need to meet a technician so often.....But I would really like to do it the hard way and start a journey into adventure with the Chroma...What's the going rate for these today's?

Oberheim Matrix-12 - Sound Programming

Gear Head Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 43 🎧 15 years Rhodes Chroma vs Matrix-12 Redundancy How similar in overall sound character are Oberheim Matrix-12 and Rhodes Chroma?I watched and listen to lots of youtube videos of both synths, but based on the crappy sound quality of most of these videos I can't make a final verdict.I would really appreciate some input from users which have first hand experience with both of these units...Thanks! Completely different, the Chroma is bright and percussive, the Xpander mellow and smooth. Extreeme ends of the CEM rainbow imo. (I have a Chroma Expander and Obie Xpander) Registered User Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 2,369 🎧 15 years I have a Chroma and an Xpander (half of a Matrix12). Both are very versatile synths, with each having lots of different filter modes / routings, and this level of versatility makes it difficult to make general statements comparing the sound of the two synths since no matter what you say you can probably make plenty of patches on either synth that don't match the statements given. That being said - The Chroma can often sound more 'aggressive' than the Matrix12. The Chroma's filters often exhibit more distortion than the M12's, especially at higher resonance settings.This is not a bad thing, or a good thing, it just makes them sound different. You could say the M12 tends to sound smoother or more refined or more 'lush', while the Chroma tends to have more 'bite' or 'power'. But aside from general descriptions of their sonic characteristics, it's also important to note that the two synths have different voice architectures and different feature sets. There's certainly some overlap in what they can do, but there's waaaay more stuff that one can do and the other can't.

By NGC 5139 ➡️ So it looks like both these synths would complement each other quite well. You could get a Chroma Polaris and a XPander. Get the best of both worlds. The Polaris is not as powerful as the big two, but it still has their charm. Just make sure that the membrane panel is on worn-out or broken. Lives for gear Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 728 🎧 15 years Chroma Expander with CC+ and an Oberheim Expander would be great. The actual Chroma and Matrix 12 synths are too damn big and heavy.

Synthesizer Expander ModuleOne Tremendously Powerful VoiceSynthesizer Expander Module is a free emulation of the classic Oberheim self‑contained synthesizer module of the same name. Originally released in 1974, the keyboardless, mono module was intended as a companion to the one of the earliest digital sequencers, the Oberheim DS-2. Soon thereafter, Oberheim linked multiple Synthesizer Expander Modules to an early digitally scanned keyboard to create some of the first polyphonic synthesizers, used by legendary artists including Joe Zawinul, Toto’s Steve Porcaro, Styx, and Jan Hammer.{See video at top of page}Though it was a simple, barebones monosynth, the Synthesizer Expander Module possessed a unique tone quality, courtesy of its 12 dB/oct state-variable filter. With lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch modes, this flexible filter was the star of the show. We’ve precisely recreated it here with a filter section and Phasor effect programmed by award-winning synth designer Mark Barton (MRB).Best of all, it’s absolutely FREE.Synthesizer Expander Module features:Ultra-accurate dual oscillators.Multi-mode filter emulation by award-winning synth designer Mark Barton (MRB).Massive unison mode.100 presets for Basses, Leads, and Percussion.Unique “Phasor” effect section emulating the vintage Oberheim stomp box, also replicated by Mark Barton.Studio-quality Echo effect with tempo sync.Complete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls, with easy-to-use MIDI learn and mapping (Preset and Global).Focus zoom-in feature, as well as standard UI zoom and resize via drag.Complete documentation available directly online from the instrument or in downloadable PDF format.Highly optimized DSP for optimal performance.User-adjustable oversampling control.Did we mention totally free?Want more?
