I'm starting from the premise that analog synths sound different than digital ones and that some people really like that analog sound. please don't tell me how fresh reaktor is because you're right and I want it, and I love my computer etc.

now, the pulse is relatively cheap becuase it has so few knobs on it, right?

if waldorf made an *entirely* knobless box that worked only with a mixer-map type interface via computer/midi, how much cheaper do you think it would be?

what I'm thinking is that they could make a *polyphonic* analog with NO knobs cheaply (maybe) if it had a software-only interface.

does this make sense?

you mean like a DSP synth that was genuninely analog?

I had a dream once that I owned a synth that was comprised of an interface box (keys and knobs) and it had cards like a PCI setup, and each card was an entirely different synth with all the trimmings...

so you could load 5 or so cards up and switch between them, and play them simultaneously...

word influx thats a little different that what I mean, but that would be "dreamy" as well.

it would be EVEN better if it could actually be on a PCI card, but that seems a little far-fetched. maybe it's not.

I'll write to waldorf. yeah why not.

Wasn't the Oberhiem Matrix 1000 pretty much what you're talking about? An honest-to-god analog that you need to program with an external editor? Without knobs for a lot less than a real Matrix?

i think he means just a basic hardware box with an analog synth in it that you plug into your computer. all the controlls/programming would come from a vsti front type thing i guess.

this would be cool if i liked software. I'd rather pay extra for knobs personally :-)

Yup, what is there left to touch if the knobs are taken away?
