John Bowen Synth Design

What expansions are planned/possible in the future?
Well, this is difficult to say exactly, but one of the first algorithm expansions I hope to have would incorporate a number of the Flexor modules (modules originally made for the Creamware Modular system ).

YES!!!! WOW!
I can't believe you just ...

incredible!!!

Sure!

Bi-Timberal (Dual tone - split/layer) would be great

(if possible)


I guess the other question might be;

if it's $3000~$3500 now, would you pay $3500~4500 for a (4~8 part??) multitimberal version ?

$3000 is already out of my league, so I'd be well happy with zoned oscillators or bi ...

dark with wood would be my choice

i forgot to mention another thing that is very important to me and rhat is the fm capabilites..... hoping for great routing and fm sound. not looking for dx type stuff... more of the scifi/grunge fm of subtractive synths, like possible (though limited) on the nord, rob papen blue vst, flexor oscs fm ...

awsome specs john! simply awsome....

i for one would gladly trade multitimberal/polyphony for more dsp features within the voice.

i am looking at this from a sound creation standpoint... so from my point of view things like multitimberal, polyphony, polyaftertouch, mackie control and all that is ...

i too would love to be able to load samples , as mentioned strings, choirs, groans, moans and fx.

no need for any drums or anything rompler-like.

hi to all

excited for john and sonic core, and hope my broke ass can buy this beast

to me i think the software editor is one of the key features.
the yamaha an1x has a terrific software editor. i am hoping for something at this level at least.

cheers
