a storm is coming............

great , looks nice !

Again, cool stuff Faxi!

Looks like you're modelling the JP8080 - which is a fine sounding VA - good bass and high end, nice to see the 2-band EQ there... Has great snappy envs, and of course the supersaw, which is lovely for thick pads (not into the cheesy Lady Gaga leads myself).

Few questions about your device, if I may...
- Not seeing a Unison button, or number-of-unison-voices knob.. Is there a way to set that up in the synth?
- On a related point, not seeing a Mono/Legato switch, for Voice Polyphony. Does the Portamento button on the Amp Output set Mono behaviour? Can unison voices be set when in Monophonic mode maybe?
- The AT knob on Osc 2 and the Filter - that for Aftertouch modulation?
- The Supersaw oscillator - that always available, as a third oscillator? That'd be nice..
- How about the Feedback section? I hear alot of gnarly tones coming from Feedback circuit in your soundcloud! Does that feed back into the Filter? What's the Sweep knob? That control a the time for an attack ramp into the feedback loop, like opening up the cutoff freq of a LPF? Or is it an LFO? (same with the Noise section...)
- There's panning in your Soundcloud too - that coming from the Delay module?
- The D Rand on the ADSR envs - that a random adder/multiplier on the Decay time?
- I notice the Chorus on the Ocean Storm has a Flanger mode - might you add that to the Chorus module in the Pi/Ocean Swift? Or, maybe the ability to choose a different Chorus module? Not all choruses are equal

It'd be cool to have an arpeggiator there... something simple.

In general, what are the osc shapes you support?

I owned jp8080 13 years ago, it was a great synth.
Still missing those days

some examples from the second synth from the initial two synth release... this one is pi2525:

Wow, so funny that I was talking and thinking about unison engines and all of the sudden... VERY NICE. Sounds like a Virus killer to me. Maybe you should name pi2525 Interfearon.

Storm has Unison, Pi does not, trust me Pi is HUGE you don't need it there

- On a related point, not seeing a Mono/Legato switch, for Voice Polyphony. Does the Portamento button on the Amp Output set Mono behaviour? Can unison voices be set when in Monophonic mode maybe?
Unison voices can be set on Storm while you are in monophonic, once you raiwe the voice count on the livebar it will go to unison. portamento is simple on/off between regular porta and no porta on these two synths.

- The AT knob on Osc 2 and the Filter - that for Aftertouch modulation?
yes channel aftertouch.

- The Supersaw oscillator - that always available, as a third oscillator? That'd be nice..
no sorry, this is an osc choice for osc 1.

- How about the Feedback section? I hear alot of gnarly tones coming from Feedback circuit in your soundcloud! Does that feed back into the Filter? What's the Sweep knob? That control a the time for an attack ramp into the feedback loop, like opening up the cutoff freq of a LPF? Or is it an LFO? (same with the Noise section...)
Feedback is another osc mode for osc1. The sweep comes from the Sweep/Pitch LFO and yes its like sweeping a cutoff.

- There's panning in your Soundcloud too - that coming from the Delay module?
on storm there is additionally a panner, on pi stereo comes from the chorus and delay.

- The D Rand on the ADSR envs - that a random adder/multiplier on the Decay time?
yes, a random element to the decay knob. keyboardists probably won't use this much, but for sequenced things this is very cool.

- I notice the Chorus on the Ocean Storm has a Flanger mode - might you add that to the Chorus module in the Pi/Ocean Swift? Or, maybe the ability to choose a different Chorus module? Not all choruses are equal
it is a different chorus module on each synth, both are nice and play nice with the synths.

there will be demos for both don't worry

i wouldn't say it is modeled after it, but inspired with a twist. the biggest twist is that we paired it with a nice surprise - the filter is the sonic core minimax filter. the whole thing comes together in a cool way in our opinion

Thanks Faxi... Looking forward to it!

And, I say "modelled on" rather than "emulating" for the JP8080 similarity...

The demo sounds great Faxi
I look forward to trying out the demo's

This is really cool! I want these synths. Is it a package or are they separate?

Cool interfaces, the feedback osc is very nice!

I really like YOUR synths. I bought the bundle of COS & VOID 2 when it came out. Just wanted to say thanks for designing those. I use them all the time.

Thanks!

Is the COS & VOID 2 bundle still for sale?

contact soniccore via email.
