The River by Baloran (sounds only)

[@smartti1970]

le plus beau synthé polyphonique depuis la belle époque... (70's-80's) Most beautifull polyphonic synth ever.....

[@saladdays180s9]

Was salivating about the Moog One at Gearsluts, and so many on the site kept on referring to the River by Baloran. I had no idea this synth existed. I like the sound of the River to be frank. Both my kids are named with river themes. Rio and Nile Gonna purchase one just because the name seems to be good omen for me. I have two CS-80's, a LAMM Memorymoog,, a Schmidt, and an Andromeda just to name a few. The River belongs in the company of those synths. This Baloran has such warm sound.. Finally!!!

Adam Vincz I wish they had a US Distributer. Dont like handing someone 2k and crossing my fingers I get something in a couple of months.

[@saladdays180s9]

Certainly is a valid statement. I waited with knots in my stomach for the Schmidt and the Knifonium. That being said they both arrived eventually, and are wonderful. The Knifonium even started smoking after an issue inside the unit. I literally saw my beloved investment going up in smoke. The beauty in going with a boutique instrument maker, is that after an inquiry with Jonte, the brainchild behind the Knifonium, he diagnosed the issue and made me the replacement part, and sent an extra for good measure. Stefan Schmidt even sent a present to show his appreciation for my patronage. The being said, I think it is wise to do some background inquiries on folks with whom you trust your money. My gamble paid off. My original post was just due to my original delight in hearing the Baloran, and I hope they are successful delivering it to those who have sent a deposit. For the record, I don't think you and go wrong with the Moog One if you are looking at getting a flagship synth made in the good ol USA. It is a masterpiece integrating so many fine elements, and it remains on my wish lists well.

[@douro20]

Very similar to a Moog architecturally. It is actually based on the architecture of the Moog The Source.

[@kadedeclan3968]

i realize I am kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?

[@painauchocolate2395]

You have TWO CS-80’s?!?!

[@adnmusic]

Je n'en suis qu'à 6'00 et je n'ai déjà plus de mots... bravo au concepteur (que je découvre) et au démonstrateur (qui n'a pas fini de m'étonner) !

[@coyotesynth]

Surtout le concepteur, dont c'est l'aboutissement de plusieurs années de travail. Moi, c'est juste 30 minutes de plaisir, donc rien à voir!

[@calyx93]

It has such a robust and rich sound - I'm very impressed! Just lovely :)

[@chrisrowand]

Fantastic synth.

[@joeyxl3456]

that filter. the whole synth is sound heaven

[@baloranfr]

Magnifique démo, merci ;)

[@goldphinga]

sounds amazing!

[@OldBeats]

Really nice synth ! Thanks !

[@LeonxLeon]

amazing

[@baward]

Wow, a very impressive demo! It sounds very rich and flexible.

[@coramel16]

Mais qu’est ce que j’aime ce synthé.

[@lambertlambert7076]

Le son est impressionnant. Quelle richesse ! Ces nappes sont de toutes beauté !

[@philipbrooks]

the way it really bites into the bright sounds, wow!

[@SyncdAlien]

Excellent demo, thank you very much! 😍😍😍

[@pascalum]

Très belle démo. Sobre et efficace. Merci.

[@coyotesynth]

Merci, mais l'honnêteté me pousse à te dire que c'était complètement à l'arrache, improvisé, et donc un peu moisi sur certains passages, mais bon...L'essentiel, c'était que le potentiel de la machine soit bien retranscrit.

[@pascalum]

Je comprends :) On sent bien que c'est là, sur le lieu de découverte de la machine avec la pression des gens autour. tu t'en sors très bien et c'est agréable à écouter. Ce qu ile fait autant apprécier cette démo c'est qu'a partir de sons "classiques", vous tournez quelques boutons et ces sons deviennent fascinants.

[@joselares9031]

Stunning sound...¡¡¡ Need one...YEAH...

[@frankensteinhiphop]

sounds real good..

[@maxcourtman978]

Belle démo et moment très sympa partagé !!! #Baloran

[@coyotesynth]

Merci à toi d'avoir filmé. Le fait d'avoir des images mobiles rend la démo beaucoup plus vivante.

[@riza4921]

amazing!

[@BearKeys]

Why is the keyboard flat? He's playing C I'm hearing Bb

[@MiamiVisor]

Fun fact: It's called the River because that's what it will look like when someone knocks over their drink resting on the top panel.

[@zaphyd]

A "proper" analog polysynth.... Finally!

[@lambertlambert7076]

But we will not be able to buy it ( 5000 € ) !

[@Emiel1983Schoonoord]

Will be in our studio (www.northweststudios.nl) in a few weeks :D

[@kevinbirge2130]

Wow.

[@Phil-1]

1:10 Well that got my attention.

[@robertaglarsen]

2:52 so good

[@coyotesynth]

Robert Larsen it is made with the Motion Séquence feature.

[@onathanj]

It´s not SEM quality on the filter, but still pretty darn good!

[@coyotesynth]

Each voice of The River is basically a Moog Source . As the Moog Source has a 24dB filter, this is not a SEM clone.

[@jonathanosborn4800]

If by quality we mean different types, then yes its not the same. If we mean better or worse, I think these filters sound fabulous. If i can only own one poly with one filter slope, ill go 12db or 18. But sometimes this is the sound you want!

[@tonytramonti5828]

Didn’t know Adrian Gee Turner played keyboards

[@abbery9202]

Jesus christ that thing sounds insane.

[@painauchocolate2395]

It’s like 5 prophet 5’s worth of energy

[@evildead2002]

Prophet 5 vibes. Do we know what oscillators it’s got?

[@coyotesynth]

OLFACTORY RECORDS the River voicecard is a clone of the Moog Source. Same discrete design. Some additional features though: filter enveloppe can be reversed, PWM can be modulated by analog LFO (it was static in the Source) and the FM filter did not exist on the original design (it means vco2 can modulate the filter)

[@evildead2002]

coyotesynth cool. Are we talking all the usual saw, square etc? Or anything new?

[@coyotesynth]

@@evildead2002 The VCO offers the same Source waveforms: Triangle, Saw and Square with PWM. These are really a faithful re-issue of the Moog Source oscillator section.

[@PapunaOfficial]

modern cs80 😍😍😍

[@liviou2004]

Du beau et gros son semble-t-il, et belle démo, en effet. Mais toi qui a eu la bête sous les doigts, que penses-tu du tarif demandé : 5000 € ?

[@coyotesynth]

Nous avons essayé un appareil encore en cours de finalisation. Mais je pense que lorsqu'il sera tout à fait terminé et que les fonctions seront toutes parfaitement opérationnelles, il les vaut, pour 2 raisons: l'aspect "sans concession" sur le hardware, et le son très large, très ample. Je n'ai pas de polyphonique analogique qui présente ces caractéristiques, même à ce prix là.

[@liviou2004]

Ok Laurent, merci pour ta réponse.

[@flaviob829]

Hey! Is that a double Juno-106 in the back???

[@coyotesynth]

FlavioB yes, this is a double customized juno206, with a FM interaction between both sound engines. It was customized by www.clavintage.fr

[@MythixMusic1]

Really stupid position for filter controls

[@RubiconRecordings]

The classic synth face when sweeping the filter at 0:36....go on my son, get in there

[@wackenthaljef]

enoooorme!! mais le prix,j'ai peur de pas avoir assez là...

[@coyotesynth]

Possible, un instrument d'exception, avec le prix qui va avec. Mais quand on détaille ce qu'il y a dans la machine, on en a pour son argent, car il n'y a aucune concession à aucun niveau.

[@wackenthaljef]

Sur!! comme pour le Schmidt,y'a quelquechose dedans...J'ai un Solaris,bon ça sonne bien ,mais meme avec les Shark ça reste du numerique avec un bon clavier Fatar,mais y'a ren dedans.et on paie plus de 4000e pour ça déjà.

[@jktosh]

Sigh....you had me at 1:12

[@lambertlambert7076]

Ce synthé ne risque pas d'avoir du succès avec le grand public à cause de son prix. En revanche, il pourrait devenir un référence pour les musiciens et les compositeurs, c'est-à-dire des gens financés par une maison de disque.

[@FK-ve2cf]

Tu sais qu'il existe des milliers de musiciens et compositeurs professionnel en France et qui gagne tout juste le smic même une centaine de millier peut être ? Dans quel monde tu vis? Là tu parles des stars seulement, pas des autres. Sauf qu'au lieu d'acheter une bagnole on préfère acheter un instrument donc il est très possible qu'il marche

[@sK3LeTvM1]

Overrated, overpriced. Just put a Summit aside and conclude for yourself. Unless you believe in the myth of analog.

[@snuppssynthchannel]

With oscillators chips from the Moog the source and 24db ladder moog filters, this thing sounds more organic and vintage then any other synth in production today.

[@BlackToof]
