I knew I would love Cascadia but it has surpassed my expectations. It is a joy to explore and feels endless as a stand-alone instrument but integrates so well with the rest of my euro and fixed architecture synths like the Matriarch and PolyBrute. Highly highly recommended and worth every dang cent.

[@limbicbits]

My 2 cents: cascadia is already one of my absolute favorite synths of 2023. What a sound range: From subtle and sweet up to brutal and aggressive. This demo could only cover a part of it and I guess there will follow at least another one. I really like the design, especially the layout of the different sections. The pre-wiring makes a lot of sense and every time when I thought this or that would be great or useful - there it was! For example, it has tap-tempo for the MIDI LFO! And even without using one single patch cable, the cascadia offers the functionality of a mid-sized eurorack modular system but with a much smaller footprint or cable mess.

[@erwinm187]

thanks for the wonderful sound demos

[@cougarman8]

How’re you liking it 2 months on? I’m still in the trial period. I think it’s a beautiful machine, I barely know or understand what I’m doing but it’s been fun just guessing and getting cool results! Is it a keeper for you? Love yours vids and sound packs!

[@limbicbits]

@@cougarman8 It actually is a keeper so far and I still like it a lot. Doesn't happen too often.

[@cougarman8]

@@limbicbits while I have you, do you still have/like the Fusebox X? I want that too! And do you prefer one?

[@limbicbits]

@@cougarman8 That's been a loaner and although I liked it quite a lot, I've sent it back. Its sound is more on the vintage side and would be a nice addition to Cascadia.

[@zipnone1996]

awesome sounds. love the pedal integration, and the amount of distortion options in the signal path - soft clipping at the OSC stage, overdrive in the filter stage, further clipping at the main output. don't always have to use them but great to have!

[@Taketaketak]

Its a very nice form factor, and i understand people like it. Reminds of the roland sound, easy to fit in a mix.

[@cassildaandcarcosa294]

sounds awesome as usual. The Cascadia was one of my favorite synths to come out this year as well.

[@igor-mamaev]

It sounds really great

[@kabukijoe99]

it is kind of sound search! Cool

[@pimhansen6720]

Labor sequence sold me on this thing. Very tasty indeed.

[@hiddenmaterial]

i think the stack lead sold me lol

[@limbicbits]

lol - I wasn't even sure to include that one in the video

[@Bobo]

Sounds absolutely amazing… I want it! 😁 Btw your affiliate link to thomann isn’t correct.

[@limbicbits]

Thanks!

[@VTOLKits]

Why do you always have such veggies around your devices? Make some space and order. 🤣 Great video! 👍👍👍

[@limbicbits]

Healthy living

[@VTOLKits]

@@limbicbits I don't mean it in a bad way! 🤣👍👍👍

[@limbicbits]

@@VTOLKits no worries, no offense taken. It's just that it doesn't happen the first time I'm struggling with whether or not I should include a patch in a video and eventually it turns out that's the one who receives a lot of attention. Maybe I should readjust my KZbin radar ;)

[@chrisleeramsden2077]

It's a vegetable patch...

[@tomalaerts8839]

I want to like it, but I really don’t find it sounding all that attractive, at least in this demo.

[@limbicbits]

that's absolutely fine, I guess. Tastes are different and if you don't like a thing why pursue yourself to end up spending money? Better stick with what you've got and make music.

[@tomalaerts8839]

@@limbicbits i am curious to try a modular/semi-modular and checking options, will likely wait until Proton is released.

[@MUNRO13]

This or Taiga?

[@limbicbits]

Between those two I'd definitely go for cascadia but that's just my taste and preferences. I find the cascadia to sound more versatile but still with a lot of character which is an important thing for me. The waveshaper in its default configuration reminded me a lot of the sound of the taiga but in combination as a whole unit - cascadia wins for me.

[@davidhrivnak]

That’s well said, and I agree. I have both the Taiga and the Cascadia, and the Taiga’s a good synth that I plan on keeping, but the Cascadia is in a totally different league. The Taiga’s a cool synth, but the Cascadia is a truly astonishingly great synth. It honestly might even be the best mono synth to have come out since the ‘70s

[@Sicolirics]

@@davidhrivnak

[@davidhrivnak]

@@Sicolirics Haha I know that's a bold statement, and I don't blame anyone for being skeptical about it (or even annoyed by it). I was honestly surprised to realize that I feel that way about the Cascadia, but I really do. 🙂

[@sector328]

Well the cascadia is 3x the price of taiga...I would go for cascadia if I had the money, and besides I have a Pittsburgh sv1, I don't personally feel like a wave folder and 1 VCO more than the sv1 is enough to justify that over the sv1, which sound amazing on its own

[@Somewhere_sometime_somehow]

Very desirable instrument. Does it do paraphony well? What are the major limitations?

[@AceGarpTruckingCo]

I'd like to know this too. I love a bit of paraphony. Still to find anything that matches the Sub 37 on this score.
