modulate's Electronic Studio Setup

It's an ok synth for the price but I've always found the engine lacking somehow compared to other VA type synths. It just doesn't sound as smooth, classy or rich as many others. Ok, that gives it a certain character, but the K Station had a real dirt and grit and vibe to it that this doesn't.

The capacitive sensing knobs should have given rise to a hugely expressive synth but somehow even that falls short, only doing a limited number of roles on only a few presets.

I always thought this was a synth that promised so much and never really delivered.

Brilliant synth, absolute workhorse, AWFUL company that have abandoned their users, ignored them completely and refused to update the software in years rendering it unusable on modern Macs yet continue to sell the TI.

I'll leave you to make your own mind up on whether you want to give your money to such a company.

Probably THE drum composer at the moment. Programming beats is so easy on this.

If there are any complaints, it's that the pads are somewhat difficult to program with and get consistent dynamics and really explore the dynamic range it's capable of...mostly you'll end up hitting beats at 127 velocity. They could have been better.

And it's not that intuitive to use...definitely needs a good study of the manual.

Otherwise, bang on. A huge selection of kits and patterns that is constantly being expanded. Sounds great. Easy to program. It's my go to beat maker.
