![]() ![]() The Jupiters and Junos are musical in a way that other synths never quite matched.īut the Roland Cloud and Zencore versions are close, but. ![]() Especially the Juno 60 which is one of the sweetest sounding synths ever made. I never owned any classics and don’t revere that “Roland sound”, but at the end of the day they sound good, so they’re good - and more importantly they’re enough.Īll the innovation happening in sound synthesis seems like over engineering and developing things for the sake of novelty.Īn innovative instrument is one that's trying to sound like 2022 and not 1982. Subtractive will never get old and Roland classics like the Juno, Jupiter or SH-101 just sound good. In HW we see more of the same or subtractives. Popular VSTs nowadays are mixing several types of engines (Pigments) or expanding the set of oscillator waves (Serum). And subtractive’s pretty much done, manufacturers are just tinkering with filters, modulation and effects at this point. What’s an innovative instrument and does that matter when making music? There’s quite a fetishization of gear happening nowadays, making and buying gear for gear’s sake.īy now one can see that subtractive is king, because it’s easy to understand, sounds great and one can hear it everywhere.
