Keni Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Just astounded! Thanks. I downloaded it, installed and browsed a few presets and immediately came here to post the deal. Of course, others were faster! ? I browsed the available options and were very pleased. I made my living for many years with one of the hardware beats back in the 80's and this seems to have all plus extras!...and you don't have to leave it on overnight for the oscillators to settle! Thanks! First impression is great job. Sounds wonderful has the thngs expected. Great job! BTW. I do still own a stripped down 2 voice version with keyboard currently disconnected in road case and deep storage... ? (originally a 4voice but that's a story for another time and when the keyboard got disconnected0 Edited March 15, 2021 by Keni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan o driscoll Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) At the rate these guys are adding new retro synths I am beginning to wonder will I need Arturia any more ... CA stuff is way "lighter" on the system resources / fast to load etc and they begin to cover that niche. Next up a DX7?

Vernon Barnes Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Need to check later if there is a discount if you own the other synths. I also wonder if it will be available for Voltage Modular. There are advantages in both formats, its a shame you have to buy both but given the low prices one can't complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably buy the Voltage Modular version as it give a lot more flexibility. Currently $29 at Cherry for the Poly/Mono version bundle. I have been getting into Voltage Modular lately, the latest addition being the Octagon sequencer which is very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The module version is missing the appegiator /summer module - ie the synth version is made of 3 types of Oberheim type modules while the module version has 2. Possible CherryAudio may give a further discount on the the synth version if you purchase the module(s)...

Buy the standalones if preset convenience is important. Of course, the host module in VM (not part of the free version) can load the standalone VST although not as flexible as the SEM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still leaning to the modular version, I have several sequencers and an arpeggiator there so I don't think I would miss them much versus the extensive modulation and processing capabilities that would be added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, with the SEM modules one could always build a monster 16 voice modular ... why stop at 8? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 While there may not be tons of presets in the modular version, it looks like there are some good ones and ones that act as a good example of how to use some on the switching and boolean modules. The Ambiant Strings preset in Modular is gorgeous, combining the poly version of the SEM Expander with Cherry's Poly Stereo Spread module, two incidences of a Cherry's digital delay and a digital reverb. I think it will become my favorite synth strings preset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you purchase them at the same time, there was no discount. Of course, that might have changed by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin H Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 This genius was trying to buy the vst/au version, clicked on link and totally missed I bought the modular version instead. I guess I now have both to play with hahah Read the email carefully and click on correct link you actually intend to purchase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone that bought these twice, I paid $29 for modular and the $23 for vst/au so second one was discounted... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yes an extra discount applies when buying both SEM and 8 Voice Not when 10 hours ago, Vernon Barnes said: It may go lower if you complete a bundle, There is no bundle to complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the synth version doesn't show you the cabling. I would buy it just to learn the the routing. I wonder if at some point they're going to offer the Oberheim flavored appregiator module for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
