|
|
So after so called "stability issues" update I started experiencing issues with custom osc. Sometimes it just freezes and makes no sound whatever I do. i had to reboot the synth several times yesterday. Does anyone have the same? _________________ Korg R3, EMX1, volca keys, minikp 2, electribe 2, prologue, karp oddy, dns 12, all ios apps. |

Haven't noticed it yet but I'll keep an eye out for it. Just got a Microfreak though so I may be some time |

Honestly, I think for me it's probably a more useful tool in the sort of thing I make. It's a lot more capable modulation-wise, with a very nice mod matrix that's deep but simple to operate. The polyphonic aftertouch works very well indeed with four voices of paraphony and I find I can get quite organic sounds that are more to my taste without fighting against mixer headroom or limited modulation.
The polyphonic aftertouch is also a delight – I have been using it with u-he's Repro-5 to get expressive Prophet goodness. And it's tiny, and USB powered, so I run it off my laptop and take it just about anywhere. Also the sequencer is absolutely immense for the size - two patterns, up to 64 steps, and records parameter changes in 4 lanes. Oh and the analogue filter (LP/BP/HP) is just lovely, with fantastic musical resonance.
It has been a little buggy and can sometimes be frustrating but overall it's one of the best value synths I've ever bought. Absolutely feature-packed, incredible design, and four-note paraphony is great (only the filter is shared; the four notes have their own VCAs).
I've had the Plaits oscillators on the Prologue. I've thought "well I don't need a 'freak, I have those oscs", but I've been frustrated at having to menu dive to use them effectively, and those oscs don't have built-in movement so you're reliant on that one LFO wired to shape. They feel like they could sound good but they're a bit hamstrung. The 'freak just sets them free, with great results.
I didn't really have many stock patches that I liked/would use in a track on Prologue. I can strongly recommend patch 4 (Ether) on the 'freak – lovely ambient lead that sounds like it has a reverb on its own and goes into full glitch with aftertouch. Add a delay and it's otherworldly. |

Yep I agree on limited mod options, have to employ extra lfos from my hardware sequencer. Also familiar with arturia filter and it is quite good I would say _________________ Korg R3, EMX1, volca keys, minikp 2, electribe 2, prologue, karp oddy, dns 12, all ios apps. |

Hi, update. The freeze is not related to 1.32 update. According to Korg it happens to custom oscs that have direct access to memory, they acknowledge the issue and working on that. _________________ Korg R3, EMX1, volca keys, minikp 2, electribe 2, prologue, karp oddy, dns 12, all ios apps. |
