Amptown/Grenzfrequenz - Synchrotron

Post by **Guest** » Tue Nov 21, 2000 2:45 pm

I got Synchrotron the other day and it rocks. The surface design looks better than all others I´ve ever seen on pulsar. Synchrotron sounds real punchy. It´s a joy to program sequences and sounds with it. Many details like the sequencer copy&paste funktions, envelope modulation matrix and the filter distortion/boost parameters make it fuckin´ great to work with this device. The build-in effects make it complete. Especially the filter delay is wicked. A real special is the DSP handling: When a feature is unused it leaves the DSP load. Even some knobs turn their program parts off when turned to the minimum. All that for only 69 Euro - Amazing.

This is one of the nicest synths out there for the creamware platform - something like a little 303-alike toolkit. But don't let that stop you. This thing is probably the only step based synth i've seen with enough functions to turn it into a propper instrument in it's own right. This isn't JUST ANOTHER 303 clone and it's not just good for for acid. It's got all the right elements for experimentation with step based programming and a sound all it's own. Sometimes fat and evil and analog, sometimes smooth plastic creamy and artificially colored. Dsp lean, interface rich, unique. Very nice.

One of the best value pieces of kit you can get for Pulsar. Interesting riffs just fall out - and the sounds really do go from nasty to silky smooth. Love it !

Hmm. Prob gonna buy this baby.

The response above and the killer prices of the other synths make me wonder whether this guy has set his cost just right - plenty of people will be up for buying this synth but I can't see too many hobbyists investing 200 euros in another piece of software.

I reckon Amptown/Grenzfrequenz are gonna rake it in and good on them
