nikosThank you both for your help.
I tried Audacity but the timestretch sound awful for a less than 1 bpm tempo change. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, I will check the manual
nikosThanks a lot, this is a very informative answer.
It’s a shame Podium doesn’t offer this feature, should be easy to implement i think.
About shortcircuit, I use it and really like it but I didn’t know it can timestretch. Could provide some more details on that please? I can’t find anything in Google.
Cheers
nikosSylenth is truly a great find. I’ve been playing with the demo for two days now, and I keep being amazed with the sounds it makes. I was always reading in forums and magazines about synths that sounded warm but could not understand what that meant. I think I do now 🙂
About buying a licence for Podium, I will surely do that once I decide that Podium is the one I’m going to stick with. I’m still trying out other hosts in order to find which one is a better fit for me, although I have to say, yesterday I tried the Cubase SX demo (which I found in one of my Mogwai CD’s strangely enough!), and I was frustrated with the dozens of overlapping windows. I liked the midi fx though, is there anything similar available for Podium?
So, thank you both for your help, I’m going back to my Sylenth now.
nikosVisit http://www.sonomic.com – they sell downloadable samples and even downloadable cds (I bought some Zero-G cds at sonomic). You can preview sounds before buying and decide yourself.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
(Oh, by the way, I can’t stop listening to the Sylenth demos. What a great, warm sound this synth has. I have to try the demo.)
nikosHaven’t heard about the Sylenth 1 before, but it sure sounds nice! However for the same amount of money I can buy the v-station, the attack, and the reverb. Decisions, decisions…
Another advantage of the v-station is that it seems to be as simple as an analogue synth can be, an important point for a beginner such as me. Also it has a great gui and a easy to read manual.
Could I also have some suggestions for the sample cds as well? I will check out the programs you mentioned but they are only electric pianos, i’d like to have some organs and a few classical ones as well.
Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.
nikosHi Max, thanks for the reply. I just watched the video for the Protoplasma 21 synth. Wow! The sounds this little thing makes are incredible. I’m downloading the free version as I write this. The effects look interesting too.
About the xiosynth, I have considered it, but it doesn’t look so interesting too me. I already have a keyboard controller, and the demo sounds in the product page sound horrible in my opinion.
I’ve tried a lot of free and commercial synth demos. I liked a lot of them but the ones that blew me away were the v-station, z3ta+, and absynth (especially absynth!). Of these, the v-station is the cheapest one at about 60 euro, so…
nikosThanks for the quick reply. It seems like there were some problems with the new release, so they reverted the demo to the previous version. I downloaded it, and it runs great.
nikosSorry the previous posting should be in the technical support section. Can someone move it there?
