The Prophet 5 has got a tune button, a Juno-106, JX3-P, Siel, Matrix-1000 etc. pp. don't suffer from the auto-detune issue at all, even many Moogs provide a stable tuning. I always claim that there seldom is the need to "program" modern granular synths in a complicated way, many of those allegedly new sounds already could be archived using e.g. an Oberheim SEM or even emulations of this and similar synth. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
