I would recommend SEM and VintageVerb.

The other Arturia synth are ok but some of them are a bit obsolete since we have better emulations.
Anyway, they are not expensive, the presets are very good and the CPU usage is very low and for a bit "analog touch" without eating the CPU they are still good. Besides SEM, I think the Mini V is still a good option.

The Arturia Matrix 12 and CS80 are both great for pads as were the original hardware.

The SEM is another great one, not as warm but versatile with lots of personality.

Some in depth examples.....

For Valhalla, the Vintage Verb (of course) :)

My favourite two of Arturia are ARP 2600 V2 and SEM V. I love especially ARP 2600 because of its character, I just can't stop playing it :o but I also like a lot SEM V especially it has a great voice and a very nice interface. They also use low cpu.

I also like Mini V, Modular V and CS 80. They are very nice synths also. I haven't tried the other synths for enough time, so I can't have a final opinion about them.

Reverb? I really don't know about Valahalla reverbs. Many are praising them, but I haven't tried them yet. For now, I use the host's reverbs mostly and sometimes TB Reverb.

So you think it indicates that one has a low IQ, if he happens to miss a letter on his keyboard once in a while? Well, I guess the estimated collective IQ of internet-using population just dropped.

That track is really really good, I wouldn't otherwise critizise it, but since we are at it, the space-y feeling of the piece isn't supported by the reverb.

CS-80 is a favorite, one of the best Arturia synths...IMHO

I don't like the Matrix 12... it sounds a bit thin and static for me. To be honest, I don't see most of the Arturia synth as excellent emulations. For me they are more some kind of vintage inspired synth and for this they are very usable. If the Jupiter 8v had noch such a "micro GUI" which it makes it for me very hard to use, it could be also a very interesting synth.
The Moog V is also very interesting because we have not so many modular synth (yes, there is also ACE but the Moog V is different).

IMO most of the Arturia synth are bit underrated but also this "not so good emulations" are often very usable. I like sometimes the Mini V more than the highly praised Diva ;)

The basis of this track is SEM V stabs throughout the track, into a lot of Valhalla Vintage Verb. I also used a Jupiter 8V and a second SEM V pad too.

Thre seems to be a lot of talk about ME80 vs CS-80V. Makes me fancy to someday get my hands on a real CS. One can dream (pun intended) eh? I mentioned Blade Runner score because of it's cinematic nature, but truth to be told, I've never really understood the fuss, apart from the much praised marriage of imagery and score. A nice soundtrack, yes. But electronic artists like Tangerine Dream and Jarre have albums of similar but better and more dimensional material from before BR. I always found the film itself dull. The book the film is based on, is great however. Having read it, I don't know many other films, (granted, there are so many of those) that would've underutilized the (relatively short) material it's based on so much and so left-handed and got away with critical acclaim. If one speaks of a bad emulation, that's a one.

But that's just my opinion anyway.

No, I did not see it in theaters in 1982. I did not see another film by Ridley Scott, Alien, in 1979 either. Yet I regard it one of the best films I've seen, totally in another league than Blade Runner.

I just finished watching Gone With The Wind. Did you know they used a synth, Novachord, often considered the first commercial polyphonic synthesizer, -in the score?

I've only just watched Blade Runner for the first me some years ago, and couldn't quite get the fuss about it either. Maybe you really got to have watched it in the time it came out. Don't get me wrong, not a bad film, but neither the film itself, nor the soundtrack seem extraordinary legendary to me. Not a big fan of Vangelis in general though.

+1 to Alien btw. It's absolutely awesome considering its age. And also a good example that you don't need one of those nowadays hundreds of millions productions to make a good film. Quite a different one compared to Blade Runner though. It's a game, but i'd rather compare Blade Runner to Deus Ex. It's different to that too, but it really delivers that nice futuristic sci-fi atmosphere. Maybe Minority Report could be compared to Blade Runner too, i quite liked it.

I don't care if their stuff are not that close to the real deal. CS80 V is a classic in its own right and is still my favorite pad machine. Other than that I would highly recommend the Solina V!

Post

If anyone, I think it's Jan Hammer, who doesn't receive enough recognition for his influence on the retro sound so many want to sound after today. Could the SEM V pull off both, that atmospheric heavenly soft lyricality and swingy attitude, a sound that defined the sound of a single TV-series and in part, a whole era for many?
