Re: Hardware synths

["bradley newton haug" <bradleyhaug@xxxxxxxxx>]

agreed, though the conversation itself was useful, the prokeys88 is hardly a decent example.  I hadn't heard about it until this thread and this morning I saw one on display at guitar center.   The keys were mush and it sounded like any typical 'softsynth wrapped by some plastic'.

That particular patch (that Ianas finds so rich) can be heard here:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProKeys88-main.html

demo patch number 12.

To me it sounds like strings samples with slow attack through
chorus+reverb and a bit of low pass filtering.
So I think that all the talk about swsynths vs. hwsynths is irrelevant
as this particular instrument seems to be sample-based.  I guess it
could very easily be achieved with fluidsynth (loaded with a decent
soundfont) and optionally jack-rack with a couple of LADSPA plugins.

I really don't see what the fuss is all about.

Cheers.
