    After listening with headphones, it seems like it’s actually the narrow pulse:

    ... or buy a Behringer Model D for £285, which is a dead-on Minimoog hardware clone.

    @tobiewharton, I’ve just had a go at programming “Ain’t Nobody” on my Minimoog App, this setting sounds pretty close. It’s a medium-width pulse, no resonance, relatively fast downsweep envelope with medium depth. I’d seriously recommend buying this app if you have an Apple device, it’s worth every penny, you can play it on the device or hook up a cheap midi keyboard. At a push you could even play it with your bass using a Sonuus G2M (though there’ll be some latency). @CameronJ, I can share the settings file if you want to have a listen to it to comment.

    Shameless plug for this most excellent one-stop octave and gated dynamic fuzz pedal: If I were sensible, I’d keep this and sell my Octabvre and Doom instead and pocket the sizeable cash difference.

    I managed to get close to the Ain’t Nobody sound with pedals. It sounds like a narrowish pulse wave. I used an Octabvre into a Mastotron (pulse width quite narrow) into a downsweep 24db filter on the Manta. I favoured the jazz pickup on my PJ as it seemed to give the the sound some thinness. I ran that into an aggressive noise gate on a Sentry. The main stumbling block is getting the filter sweep to reset quickly enough. Playing very tight staccato with the noise gate helped but it think I need to try a bit of compression at the front so I can get the gate tighter.

    Marc Doty’s reviews are the most comprehensive and are essential viewing if you’re interested in the models he has reviewed.

    Are those your real breasts?

    These are the demos to watch to get a proper idea of all this can do: It’s a playlist of 10 videos detailing the different aspects of the synth.

    This is a fantastic little synth. I bought one for my son. It’s a very capable machine. Doesn’t have full ADSR but is capable of great sounds and has a very powerful sequencer. That demo does no justice to it at all.
  10. Quatschmacher
    Are you getting a custom build and sticking an Octamizer in it?
  11. Quatschmacher
    That’s not actually true, unless you mean top-heavy fractions; there are a fair few keyboard and module synths that are cheaper than the Future Impact eg, Korg Monologue (£230 new, £180 used).
  12. Quatschmacher
    Yep, I very rarely drink and have never taken anything nasty that would tax it, so it’s in prime condition.
  13. Quatschmacher
    And that’s a real shame as it really is fantastic. I was playing it again this evening and am having second thoughts…
  14. Quatschmacher
    Do I need to throw in a free kidney?
  15. Quatschmacher
    Is everyone just hanging on for price drops or just skint?

    @Bonin-in-the boneyard
  17. Quatschmacher
    I know. Maybe the universe is telling me to keep it.
  18. Quatschmacher
    Then the Behringer is a good choice, depending on whether you want a built-in keyboard or not. You’re right though, we are spoilt for choice.
  19. Quatschmacher
    This video makes me want to keep it:

    If your computer is fast enough, I’d suggest getting the full version of Ivory II. You could (and should) disable the network cards when running it in order to get the most latency-free performance.
  21. Quatschmacher
    @Ceebass, what is your budget?
  22. Quatschmacher
    They just respond to standard midi messages for pitch bend and mod wheel. Just hook up any controller keyboard via midi. If you want to alter the pitch bend range then you need to send a SysEx message which is easy. Presets are quite useful. The sequencer on the monologue is fantastic and really easy to use. In addition to notes, you can sequence four tracks of parameter tweaks. Do check out the Roland SE-02 too. It is pricier at about £470 new but I’ve seen it for £300-350 used and it has presets, a sequencer and 3 oscillators. It has built-in delay too.

    Synthogy now does a slimmed-down iOS version of its fantastic Ivory II Piano (the original is one of the best computer piano libraries around). That’s worth checking out.
  24. Quatschmacher
    The monologue does great bass sounds. The envelopes are a bit more limited as they aren’t full ADSR but there are plenty of great sounds available. Have you checked out the Behringer Model D? £285 for a Minimoog clone!
  25. Quatschmacher
    See edit above. No, PC in this context means “program change”. You could do it with a phone, tablet or a dedicated stomp box or a synth; basically with anything capable of sending a midi program change message.
