       Why are Arturia doing the Memorymoog years after Cherry Audio did it? Just like they were way behind CA on doing the Synthex? Both of which CA charge less than half for… I’m so bored now. I really liked Arturia.

       @jakobw Arturia has diversified in survival mode. They make expensive hardware, they have sample based Augmented ‘solutions’ and probably think that they can break into Omnisphere’s ‘solutions’ turf. It’s a bet in all directions that probably won’t work, especially as Native Instruments has found a sugar daddy. So the retro dev teams are probably starved of resources. Cherry has stopped trying to introduce new ideas. That’s where the action could be better placed. #synth #marketing

       @lardmotel Yeah I get all that, but I was viewing it squarely in terms of if we’re going to have emulations (not saying we need them), then let’s have something new. (I view emulations largely as a sort of virtual museum for nerds – what was it like to use these things? It’s a bit autistic, like it’s synths for me rather than trains.) As for CA, I think they oughta do more like Sines etc, yes.

       @jakobw you don’t need more than a few virtual instruments anyway. Maybe a fake analogue and a wavetable/sample thing and you’re done. When you have more than five things you’re spending more time feeding them than milking them.

       @lardmotel @jakobw I think you need as few or as many instruments as you need to make you happy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
