Literally with yet another deadline looming (i know, thats on ME that I updated software while working on something.
plist check, installed something at the time that couldn't be run on my current os (usually even the biggest amateur install would know that), and bonked a lot of work I had in progress. I DO like Spark, although they even screwed me with that with an installer that didn't do a simple system. i felt a little bad.īut I have definitely have better synths on my phone then most of the Arturia package, and while $11 apiece is apparently a good deal, most of them are "samey" besides the fact they have a lo res gui of an arp2600/jupiter8 etc. but when even they started complaining about problems with the simplest of things. I have lots of friends that are hobbyists or whatnot, and I have recommended the arturia collection to them in the past, as it would give them a cute little pastiche of a lot of different kinds of synthesis, and vintage units, etc.
Most of their stuff just sounds the same to me, and while I believe interface is important in providing a certain "experience", they put a lot of lipstick on pigs. Certainly not dumping my oberheims and moogs and roland analogs for it! Good idea, once again though, poor Arturia support and continued development. In all fairness I have only used the Origin a handful of times, and again, 10 years ago, would have been nice with underpowered cpu's and whatnot, but with what I have heard personally and read from other owners, they aren't dancing around psyched about it. Had Arturia marketed this as something that gets you closer to the GX-1 it would have sparked my interests.That's interesting, I will definitely check out. Synthfanatic decided to see how close the Origin could come. Keep in mind with the GX-1 it's almost all raw synth power with very little effects. The GX-1 is a beast no one has attempted to emulate, and the CS-80 only gets you half there. I felt the same way until I heard this: (posts 122 and 131)
