1:08:32 Tom Wolfe's presets yeah. Definetly on my list of things to buy. Edit: bought binaural pads, thinking of textures as well. There's a 50% off a second set but I have no idea how that works. Email sent.

[@KlemenKotar]

Btw, a bit OT: I'll probably need a synth for playing live, Juno X still looks like a good choice (price/performance). EDIT: Or an Arturia AstroLab, come think of it. Pretty much the same price as Juno-X and I already have the V bundle.

i've been using two fostex d824's to do what these arturia boxes offer for years, combined with a minidsp usb-to-adat card at home that's just perfect (my old d824's go up to 96khz aswell though...

[@ProSynthNetwork]

A bit of an apples and oranges comparison, but Arturia aren't claiming to have done anything particularly new here. They've simple offered their own brand of ADAT expansions that can be used with theirs or any other compatible audio interface. What is different is the quality of the converters, I would imagine, and that sexy Arturia styling! 😉

@@ProSynthNetwork i think you missed my point, this is not what i meant. I didnt say Arturia were claiming anything, i think redoing these is a great idea, very usefull, that was my point. And just tbh, being an electronician and a gear freak, i would doubt, with nowadays quality of supplys, AND the price they are selling these for (if it could lower the price of used ones...), that theyre converters give better results (at same bit/freq rate, 24/96 i'm good personally) than the fostex or tascam units of the late 90's. Just an opinion though, i couldnt proove what i'm saying right away. I'm an arturia fan since the beastep pro, because they are very good at finding what the home studist needs to makle his life easyer for nice prices and good quality hw, that adat series of boxes is a great idea, my point was also to let know that MINIDSP(go check theyre website...) make great cards with tremendous definition numbers (24/96 i'm good lol, i dont record orchestras) in many formats for really neet prices, and to use a usb to adat i doubt one could find that good for that kind of price and nobody knows about that... I would love to hear what your tech on the show would have to say about converters in those modern units compared to high end late 90's early 00's ones like you gert in an S6000 or fostex/tascam hd recorders, i have my opinion but it's just an opinion, but as an electronician, one thing i know is that those mass produced chips in nowadays dont have the type of quality they used to have. But in the mean time, they have spotted chinese fake chips in F16's...Apple and oranges i dont think, if you compare commun functions, an hd recorder records these dont, but these older hd recorders are used mainly like these in nowadays to go from adat to mutli outputs.

Both, Oberheim and Sequential(not all) synths sound way better to me than Arturia.

[@ProSynthNetwork]

Vive la difference! 😉
