Critic Reviews

Alpha-Syntauri (EMM Dec 81)

muzines.co.uk

The Alpha Syntauri, while ambitious in its attempt to combine traditional synthesizer feel with digital capabilities, falls short in several key areas. Its high sampling rate and innovative programming allow for impressive sound variation and user control, but the limited library of presets and a confusing interface mar the experience. Critics note the lack of realistic instrument emulation and issues with audio recording features, which could frustrate musicians seeking a reliable tool for live performance or recording. While it exhibits potential, it ultimately requires more refinement to satisfy both novice and experienced users.
