Vernon Barnes Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Well I went ahead and bought it. I have been curious for a while but held off on price. I like it. I have some other options like Arturia's Solina V, Hollow Sun's Prog Pack and Soniccouture's " The Attic 2" The Attic 2 is probably closest in range of sounds available. I think the VSM has a certain immediacy that makes it easier to layer different sources together and shape the results. The filter and envelope options for each layer give a lot of scope for editing. Being able to control the filters with after touch is useful too. That said The Attic, being a Kontakt (player) library does leave you the option of building layered multis far beyond the two sources available in VSM and It has non- string machine instruments. VSM has way more presets. I am pretty happy with the purchase even though it was a non essential for me given my other options. These things take me back to the days when as a spotty student oik I got to try a Solina in a local music shop. They had the amp up loud as all it took was for me to play a few block chords to bl-ow me away with the power.

The big difference for me is Fx , the flanger , chorus , ensemble ect in geforce stuff are just authentic versus uvi arturia and Ni stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassDaddy Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I picked it up too. I love my MTron Pro so not hard to do. I think the original Mtron was the first software instrument I ever bought. The Yamaha's in the VSM are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Dang. Some people being very negative about VSM (but not about MTron Pro): https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=420750&start=45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn't let that put you off. Any criticism I have are down to the GUI/interface which is fairly prehistoric. This is true of ALL the gforce stuff IMO. The sound is first rate (to my ears) and the price is pretty good too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
