[@lookyseymour1145]

I recently bought the E7 from a retailer in the UK. It has a great personality and something about the VCO give it a very unique tone. I like the Moog-like knobs and how tactile the experience is. The oled screen display changes depending on which knob you touch, a nice modern function on an otherwise vintage feeling machine. Everything is well designed and feels sturdy and, importantly, it has presets. I see the 7 voices as one extra from 6 and a bonus rather than a limitation. It comes in very handy when playing supermassive epic pads. This video represents the sound of the synth really well.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Great comment! I agree totally about that’s what makes it unique. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more new synth videos in 2023😊

[@santiagoduran5129]

Thanks for the video, luckily I have one and it's my fist analogue polyphonic synthesizer. I would to like a patch video of e7

[@Goettel]

Great machine, great price, great video. What GS needs is a distribution deal. Importing from Argentina (to the Netherlands) means a substantial added cost of shipping plus about 20% import tax on top of that. Anyway, a great machine such as this deserves to do well.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Totally agreed! Having this at your local synth store would be so awesome. Thanks for watching my channel 😊

[@samuelsop371]

That's what we say in Argentina when we see great European synths that we need to import, haha, but with much more import tax, a 50% minimum. But it's true that the market is much bigger there; it makes much more sense to get a distribution deal. We also need to take into account that this comes from a small company, I'm sure they are working hard to increase production.

[@Claude_van]

They now have a distributor in Spain. There is a link on the GS website! Two years European guarantee, two weeks return (but that’s a keeper I guess 😊). Should be easy to send to any place in the EU without any hassle.

[@Pinko-Diamond]

I read an article about this a while back it sounds amazing! the only possible issue that the article mentioned is getting service or warranty all the way from Argentina

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Can't speak for warranty service as my unit is issue free, but the owner of the company has been super responsive over email and overall was very helpful!

[@loweroctaves]

Thank you for this Vid really diggin how good this sounds and agree what a shame no distortion. I am torn on getting this cause im really liking the trigon 6 which i feel has been misrepresented in videos. will you be doing a video for the trigon 6 any time soon? Great work always look forward to more of your reviews!

Thanks so much! Unfortunately no plans for the trigon, it looks amazing though. I’m gonna be focussing more on reviewing the SYNTRX 2 and Motorsynth 2 this summer as they interest me the most of the new synths out.

[@Truedetective604]

Wow ✨

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Much love!

[@earlsfield]

This is very much Prophet 5/10 architectiure with some modulation touches of REV2. I love the sound of the ladder filter and I really think this one can be a workhorse as analog polysinth. Price wise it is way under Trigon, and still you get decent analogue poly with a ladder filter.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Great point! It does combine a bit of the Rev2 modulation with the VCO sound. Thanks for watching!

[@earlsfield]

@@MilesAwayOfficial my only gripe is the lack of modulation i would love at least basic FM and poly-mod or x mod like modulation. Also heard (not experienced though) there is some buggyness in digital control - firmware update can sort that. Lack of mod, not really. I guess it comes to good sound of vco/ladder filter. That Chorus is useless and could ve been used for a mod matrix (the space I mean, see Super 6 for good Chorus:) But as you said - the next good thing, especially with the ladder filter is Trigon - 3.2 k quid. Almost as Prophet 10. Ah yeah I wish g7 had more voices so it could be bi-timbral. Cheers.

[@eldflaug]

I hope this too! I was thinking exactly the same. A friend of mine was making an album and in every song I could hear one sound sounding so beautiful and it was always this synth. Then I tried it and playing it was really intuitive and fun. I felt like the synth could understand me and I it. One day we will buy it!

[@Unison_Detune]

Thanks Miles, I agree with EP below that it is more unknown. I'm having trouble getting hold of one in the UK but I'll have to be patient. I think this synth has a lot of vintage character just from the oscillators. There is a thread on SOS Forum about it and they are all a bit underwhelmed - I really don't think they could have listened to the YT demos. Even if this was the same price as a P6 module I would still choose the E7. I hope they implement polychaining to up the voice count.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Yea its a great one absolutely! Polychaining would be cool especially since it is multitimbral.

[@stephanblomsterberg2871]

Hi, Im pretty new when it comes to analog synths and overall analog.. Im a sucker for Arpigiators and I wonder if any of you guys know if it's possible to ad an Arp-pedal to the G7? btw, I really enjoy this review of the GS E7 thanks for that Miles!

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

The E7 takes standard midi and usb midi, so any midi sequencer or even a laptop with a USB cable will work to sequence it/make arpeggios. I'd advise against buying an Arp Pedal, they are gimmicky. Get a good sequencer, or if you only want an arpeggiator, hook up the E7 to your computer or even tablet over midi and use a DAW !

[@dannyjohnson2471]

Hi Miles, Can you make a preset patch bank the E7? ...You have such a great feel for this synth, your demo sold me on it. I think all of us who purchased one would love to have a bank of custom presets programed by You. just sayin". Cheers, DJ Burbank CA.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Super late reply ! But i am working on a patch bank for the E7, stay tuned over the next 2 months :)

[@jfishnotes9177]

Excellent review! Can you advise how many presets it comes with? This or the Super 6? Which would you prefer and which is more immediate? I know they’re different; leaning towards this one

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Unfortunately haven’t played a super 6 but it seems cool too! This will definitely sound more vintage I would think cause there’s really something in the OSCs. Presets it comes with several dozen factory programs and tons of empty banks (8x8x8). I barely even went through the presets cause it’s so easy to make your own sounds, but there were some nice ones. I think this is really a synth for making your own patches cause it’s very hands on like you said :)

[@BravosReviews]

Would also love an explanation of how you crrwted the other tracks here

[@atxwolfattack]

I see you have an OB-6 in the background, how do you think it stacks up against that? I have an OB-6 desktop, and I'm thinking of possibly selling it and getting a GS e7.... The patch around 9 minutes sounds pretty amazing, maybe more P6 territory since it obviously doesn't have the OB-6 sizzle, but I'm not worrying about that as I don't have a P6. Decisions, decisions! I don't make super complicated patches, but 2 extra LFOs and sub-osc per VCO seem very nice to have...

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I like the OB-6 more because the SEM sound is my favourite thing ever, but the E-7 is just as well made, has more modulation and sounds just as vintage! If you like what you hear you can’t go wrong.

[@skrapadelix]

I have both and they complement each other very well so find something else to sell. The E7 has far nicer sounding VCOs to my ears and the OB6 has a slightly more beautiful and considerably more varied filter. I prefer the build quality of the E7. Another reason to keep both is that they are exactly the same width and look great sitting together, like brothers from a different mother.

[@thedarkestrainbow]

I feel like another close competitor would be the Take 5. It’s at a similar price point, albeit with 2 less voices and with a keyboard. Beyond that it is similarly spec’d. Take 5 has more modulation options and other bells and whistles while not taking up much more space given its compact size.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Good comment! I haven't but I'd really like to try it, on the lookout for a rental unit. It seems great.

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Would be interesting to compare to the Take 5, especially modulation capabilities

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Great call! I unfortunately don’t have have a Take 5, but I’ll look out for any rental unit if I can.

[@RundFyrkant]

Play blinding lights on it 🙂 Blue and white leds are mischievous on synthesizers. Red is the correct color and also knobs and buttons should be black. The E7 sounds awesome though. On par with Super 6, Peak and rev2. Would love to have one. Thanks for the demo 👍 *EDIT* The Greyfaceplate with black knobs and blue buttons looks very very nice. Led mod with reds and i'm fcuking buying it! 🙂 *EDIT2* There's a darkfaceplate version on instagram with red leds. I'm ordering one! Or the Super6... can't decide... Thanks for the video

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

That’s a really hard choice man! I love the E7 but the Super 6 is one of my dream synths as well

[@milowiik7649]

this one looks very nice. i have a super 6, and i love it, but i feel like i want a synth with some vco for even more analog sound, for some reason. been looking at the ob-x8, prophet 10, and even the moog one. after i saw ur video on the 3rd wave i been seriously considering it that one to fill my analog hole as well. but now this one pops up, which makes everything even harder, haha. this one looks good for its price, but im just wondering if i will still want one of them high end synths after buying this, or if it will fill my hole, so to say. and for this case, money is not an issue, i can afford them all. any thoughts? ;D buying several synths could also be an option, but im trying to avoid getting too many to save some studio space. i can also say that my use will be in studio as a full time producer, often with random clients, so versatility will also be a huge plus.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

That's a tough choice. If you want my honest opinion (studio tour coming soon), the synths I use the most are the OB-6, 3rd Wave, and OBX8, in that order. Stuff like the GS E7 , Matriarch, Syntrx etc I love them, and use them on some songs, the sound quality is absolutely equal to the Sequential/Groove stuff. But for me, the complete package of the Sequential/Groove/OB synths is just the best on the market. If you can get anything and price is no issue I'd personally check out one of those first. But a combo of E7 and 3rd Wave Desktop could be insanely powerful too if you don't need the keyboards.

It is for sure a beauty! Absolutelly intuitive! and very fun to tweek! With 3 LFOs you probably could emulatesime Polymoog sounds ( I am obsessed with Vox Humana! :D), even with different osculators). Does it have modulations and filtering measured in Hertz?Thank you for showing it!

[@moritz_schoenermann]

@@WoodysAR Exactly that! It has. But there is an tutorial on how to synthesize it with other synths. All you need is 2 oscillators (PWM/SQUARE & SAW) and 3 or 2 LFOs, to be modulate pitch & square width. The impression I had is that the XILS emulation of Polymoog is closer than Cherry Audio´s Polymode, but also wat mo expensive.

[@benkovrishkin8956]

Hey man, would you say its underpriced? and how would you compare it to an ob-6 for example in terms of sound specifically?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I will always be honest, the Oberheim sound is my absolute fave so I prefer the raw tone of the OB-6 / OB-X8 slightly to this just cause of the filter, but this thing can absolutely hang with them. E7 and Ob-6 both have this wildness/rawness that a lot of modern synths and VSTs are missing where every oscillator sort of gels together and fits. Price wise, E7 definitely wins, its fairly priced for what you get.

[@arakaneuman]

Sounds really good but youre right, the obx8, 3rd wave, Prophet 10, Moog one etc sounds even nicer, ☺️.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Agreed! It’s a great one, for the price nothing sounds more characterful. OBx8 and 3W are on another level. I need a P10!

[@joshtackett]

Hey Miles! If I’m buying my first synth and will have only one for a while, Would you recommend the E7? Or should I go with something like the Prophet 6 or OB-6? I already have a lot of amazing soft synths so trying to expand into analogue/hardware for the first time ever. I make music for film and enjoy Stranger Things and Blade Runner

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Any of those are great options and will boil down to personal sound preference! Sound wise I like the OB-6 and the GS E-7 more than the Prophet 6, but the Prophet 6 is probably the most swiss army knife sound of the 3, it works in every genre and is a good first/only synth. GS music has the nicest sounding oscillators, but the OB-6 has the best filter by far imo. I have videos on all 3 synths, I'd recommend watching all 3 reviews, and then making your choice :) lemme know any other questions

@@MilesAwayOfficial now that I think of it it doesn't have a ladder filter either also I'm pretty sure it has the artificial drift thing which I guess could compensate for the DCO stability with extra control. Thanks for your reply, also do you mind if I ask if VCOs go out of tune more than DCOs?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

@@dijjidog late reply but modern VCOs stay in tune well, they just have that extra 5% wildness that is musically pleasing

[@andyscott5277]

How would you compare it to a Prophet Rev 2?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I've never owned a rev 2 unfortunately! But it's quite similar to my Prophet 6

[@AnalogKitchen]

Ok… Now I’m seriously gassing for this box…

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

It's pretty amazing tbh!

[@FreeThink1984]

Wtf I never heard of it. Sounds based as hell

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

So good. Thanks for watching!

[@1hullofaguy]

Thoughts on this vs ob-6?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

OB-6 is my desert island synth. But it's also more expensive and sounds more fizzy/less warm than this. This is more like a Prophet 6 or a polyphonic Moog than an OB.

[@phuturemusic]

How is it tuned in F# but you're playing in C

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Global transpose! most synths have it, helps producers like me who are not trained piano players hah

[@mercurial71]

Nice vid, but there was an advert every 30 seconds. Is it normal?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

hmm - that sounds like a KZbin issue, I just have the normal monetization settings on my channel. Thanks for watching either way!

[@dukeofpearl]

It’s an interesting synth. But Ruffles is an Oberheim cat! 🐱

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Haha true! He definitely likes that one best for trying to climb on when I’m not looking 😈

[@aloharay]

how much of this sound is from your external effects....

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Big Sky is only used when I'm doing sound demos/demo song. For all the raw tone demos and creating a patch it's the synth 100% dry

[@wavesequencer]

Totally not underrated by myself - seen this before. Excellent job on sound, UI, and the voice allocation modes/multi-temporality. I hope a US & European based retailer will become a distributor - it would encourage more sales for sure - requires scaling up production I guess.. or maybe they just want to keep it niche/super boutique. (OB6 desktop can be found used under 2KUSD or 2400 new - probably the closest alternative in price.) I wish them luck with it.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Did anyone rate it poorly? People keep,using underrated to mean not known about, even though the word is about people who have seen it and how they rate it...

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

Cat demands like!

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Ruffles is the boss!

[@iansayerpersonal2925]

No phase sync? Or is it hidden in a menu?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Lfo phase sync is there! In a menu. I just love the default poly lfo mode :)

[@iansayerpersonal2925]

@@MilesAwayOfficial My bad, I meant vco phase sync, like on the prophet 5, JP8, Memory Moog, all the Oberheims etc. Is that on a menu as well?

[@keithbarnhart6952]

No love for the Novation Summit?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I've done 2 videos and a Custom Patch Bank on the Novation Summit, check em out! Awesome synth.

Wow. I had forgotten that’s what are times were. CB is a lot of hours and political maneuvering on my part to get the playlist expanded with less twangy things and more funky things. Starting earlier this week everything slow down for me like an NFL quarterback on the 10th week of their 1st season. The two disc jockey suit already been there for decades started niggling and corrected me and doing weird things like that, while at the same time, they’ve both change their shows to sound more like mine. The manager is weak, his boss’s boss is rather corrupt, and none of that matters because I’m just the low guy on the totem pole, who keeps his head down and does the hard work. The problem with WCBE is all those people have been there for decades, and they really don’t know how the real world works, like how Digital audio goes now or how to do things that I just take for granted. Friday I asked a very difficult question apparently, “ what is our mission statement?” I sincerely wanted to know it so that I could use it to base decisions on. If our mission is to attract a certain kind of audience, then that would make me want to play one kind of music and act, one way on the air, or if our mission is education that I would choose different music and speak a different way on the air. Nobody has the answers to any of these questions, which means that it’s floundering a bit, but I have plenty of room to maneuver an invent. Make any sales? Oops my 930 is ringing in, let’s talk soon, maybe in 24?
