The reason why I enjoy watching and listening to Daniel Fisher's videos is because of his synthesizer expert knowledge and practice. He teaches a wide range of fundamentals and aspects to all of us beginners, intermediate and advanced synth geeks, so we can move further into the synthesizer realm.

0:01 The standard warm sound has quite a lot in common with the Prophet-6 on first impression, including the resonance.

[VINZ]

THIS. This is my new ULTIMATE DREAM OF A SYNTH.
I’ve never heard something so full and pleasing I AM SHOCKED

[davebellamy]

26:40 I always thought of the filter key tracking as useful for adjusting brightness across the keyboard but thanks for reminding me that it's really also to keep the quality of the timbres constant or variable.

[davebellamy]

4:58 Not having to remember a lot is a key asset for many of us!😂

[GertBoers]

Personally not interested in the Trigon (no use-case for me), but a video with Daniel in it is always pleasant to watch. You always pick up some new ideas.

[BrandonElliotSmith]

One of THE best synth demos I've ever seen. Literally covered every feature, which is so helpful. Completely sold on this synth as a possible substitute for Moog Bass. The ONLY issue I have (aside from not having Sine as one of the oscillator waveform choices) is the minor "stepping" heard during the portion of the video when the filter is being demonstrated (once the resonance knob was adjusted upward)... Not a DEAL breaker for me (especially considering my playing style & my intended use), but I know some purists will absolutely HATE that lol. No expert on synth design here, but I'm assuming that's the tradeoff when you take an analog synth & combine it with some amount of digital circuitry.

That extra-long glide had me smiling the whole time! Thanks for a fabulous demo and for sharing it! One question though: can the LFO amount be set individually for each destination?
BTW, that manual filter sweep @23:32 showing crude stair-stepping on a polysynth in 2023 is unacceptable, especially on a synth at this price point.

[davebellamy]

11:46 Perhaps just a little touch of West End Girls there?

[antonyfaulkner]

Another great demo/review. As always, we learn as much about Synthesis, as we do about the Synthesiser itself. Keep up the magnificent work, much appreciated 😊

[davebellamy]

7:14 "It can help you and hurt you." Yeah, help you make cool noises and some music and hurt your pocket!😂

[funkingitup]

I love Sweetwater, but I wish there was some way I could just subscribe for notifications on Daniel Fisher. Guys a badass synth educator.

[ProckGnosis]

Great work Daniel...as always. I was positive I would consider a second Prophet 6 or OB6 I could chain (to double my polyphony to 12) before I contemplated buying this. I'm now reconsidering.

[thaexception]

I've been looking to see which one of Dave's creations I will add to my set-up. Thorough review.

[marvinkmooneyoz]

Hmm, generally I’m a big fan of the continuously variable oscillators, such as on the p6, ob6, pro3, and modern moogs. But these oscillators do a lot. Still, if we are talking three Osc. per voice, why not have 1 continuous, two of these?

[davebellamy]

18:10 Who won't get fooled again then?😂

[darrell]

That sure beats alot of the old school setups.

[johnniecristaldi]

Great and thorough review of all features. This will really compliment my OB6. With midi, I should be able to combine for a 12 voice powerhouse?

[jokumvildmoosehawkfield]

I must say. This synth is a monster. By the way. Can you make some pre settings for a concert you should play.

[modernmusicofthedarkages]

This thing is so powerful. Can someone gift it to me?😁
