Likely most people neither use MIDI nor CV/gate, but more likely they are using Inter-App Audio and similar approaches. What "most" people are actually using depends on the "market". The "market" is a blackbox, the output of this blackbox depends on interaction between companies and customers. Even a lot of iconic analog synth don't provide the versatility you describe, let alone that very often such versatility isn't needed at all. Instead for example Inter-App Audio allows to simply sync LFOs to BPM, something that is impossible to do with several iconic analog synth and much more often wanted, than experimental stuff, that could be only heard when listening to the synth live and that anyway gets lost, when you record those synth. "A look at how the Behringer Model D compares with the Minimoog" provides exactly the information it should provide. This video isn't about pros and cons of different approaches. _Everybody_ talented or not talented, making music for 40 decades and more, is aware about the advantages and drawbacks of different approaches. Old musicians sometimes could have different opinions, but they all made more or less equal experiences. You claims are at best half of the full story, but I even doubt this. Seemingly the Behringer Model D could provide a lot of sounds, a lot of people need for recordings, while no touch screen or mouse is required to use the knobs. Even while I didn't watch the whole video, I've seen a part where the Behringer Model D did not produce the same sound as the original Minimoog does. The only important information this video is missing are experiences related to durability. Sure, the Behringer Model D can't be used with Inter-App Audio and similar approachers, but IIUC it is at least partial a real analog synth, even using structurally identical semiconductors as used for the original Minimoog. I read reviews, one musician owns 2 original Minimoogs from the 70s and 1 Behringer Model D. All three synth do sound different, but all sound like real Minimoog, not surprising for the real Minimoogs from the 70s, but it's surprising that it's also seems to be true for the Behringer Model D. Even the miniature knobs seems to be usable without causing problems. The Behringer Model D seemingly provides CV IOs. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
