Liking it better than my artutia SEM damn

[@arkasonus7678]

Gforce usually does a very good job. 👍🏻

[@synthanatomy]

Thanks for your input :) I can only confirm this, Dave Spiers and his team is doing a great job :)

[@hellcore]

The sound is huge. Unbelievable what modern software can achieve. What I did not understood in the video. The Legato knob? I need another plug-in for it? Why is it in if it’s not available?

[@synthanatomy]

Legato is available. You can switch it bweteen mono and legato voice mode

this compared to brainworx oberhausen tho? I dont know if anything can compare to their TMT modeled voices.

[@synthanatomy]

Thanks for your input. I compared it not in super super detail with the Arturia SEM V and Brainworx Oberhausen. I, personally prefer the Gforce Software version. It's a person opinion and everyone will have their favorite there. Both are great emulations that you can use without hesitation. For me, at least, I prefer the GS version, than the Oberhausen and then the SEM V.

[@stu9000]

@@synthanatomy I'd agree with your ranking to my ears.

[@issiewizzie]

is this cut down OBE

[@synthanatomy]

OB-E is a Oberheim 8-Voice emulation and the 8-Voice are 8 SEM modules that are interconnected. So the Oberheim SEM is so seen a mono version of the OB-E with a single SEM module :)

[@GlenJDiamond]

@@synthanatomy it is possible to make the SEM polyphonic by using Pluginguru Unify with their "PolyBox" technology.

[@synthanatomy]

@@GlenJDiamond yes :) but to be honest, if you want polyphony then I would take OB-E instead of SEM. It's gives you 8 SEMs instead of one :) and there is also an option to use it in a single mode :)

[@GlenJDiamond]

@@synthanatomy That's true, although in the "wave sequence" it could be possible in Unify/Polybox to have an 8 note ARP sequence going and select either different patches and/or different EQ/Effects on each layer in Unify

[@GForceSoftware]

Interesting! It should be noted that the 8 SEMs on OB-E don't all sound exactly the same. That's where the "magic" is. Whereas 8 instances of SEM would. Not to take away from Unify though, it's awesome.
