Thats sounds good - Ive not tried doing much with sampling 'regular' synth sounds with the v-synth - usually wierd shit then finding odd textures within, or an accoustic/electric instrument and doing the same.
Not tried hammer drills though - that was good
The reason this subject came up is because of the number of posts Ive seen here and in other forums about can synth xxx do the JP supersaw thing...
So thought - right - time to find someone with a JP and do so controlled simple demos that really compare the JP with other known supersaw type synths, with no fx, pure osc sounds and maybe the filters.
The latest forum Ive seen this in is the Korg Radias forum, and of course saw it first in the v-synth forums and of course here and other virus forums.
I dont actually want to try and emulate a JP - I quite like my vs-super/hyper and unison saw (radias) the way they are
As for v-synth filters - yes - have to agree they are very sterile sounding in mid range where the character of a filter generally shines most, complately lacking in any decent snarl or bite with reso - more functional than musical I guess - actually compared to the virus most digital filters are functional rather than musical
. They do seem quite good at extracting deep punchy bass sounds though.
Radias filter is interesting with the sweepable filter type (F1 is continually variable from LP24, through LP12, HP, BP and bypass).
I tend to use the TB303 model the most on the v-synth and tame it a bit so it doesnt sound as rough or couple a TVF with a comb.
Another good digital for filters is the Novation KS-Rack - probably derived from the nova filters - its a real shame novation didnt do a followup to the supernova 2.
