By the way, the best-kept secret in the VA synth world is the Korg R3 (or more expensive Radias, now discontinued) - check them out if you want to buy a VA synth.

For sure it has digital oscilators and thus they don't produce as much base as analog. But You can easily compensate for this with the onboard EQ.

As for fast/slow envelopes. I can tell You that they are FAST ASS H*LL! I don't know if previous users had problems with earlier software (I have the latest), but 0-Attack, 1-Decay, 0-Sustain, 0-Release produce a verry sharp and snappy click. 0-Attack IS 0-Attack 1-Attack has a verry subtile notice. AS IT SHOULD HAVE!

NO, the envelopes are EXACTLY as they should be! Period!

If You have the chance to try this synth, do it.

And about buying synths. You should NEVER EVER buy a synth or anything else, for that matter, only on the base of a few reviewers. Make upp Your own mind reviewing it at hand. I can understand that it can be a bit of a trouble with the synth not that available.

I just got this synth and it does NOT sound thin. On the contrary You are ABLE to make it sound thin. And You are able to make it sound FAT. If You have the knowledge of programing, that is. Christ!

My first sound atempt was to program that famous sound of Elka Synthex that was used on JM Jarre on Rendez Vous. And what a GREAT result I manage to come up with! I will never EVER part from this synth.

AND to spice things up, You can morph between sounds. Ither by the means of automatic time related sweep or manual. You will then come up with sounds that is unheared of. And save that sound in the middle!!!

Apart from all this nice things it has a latancy problem when You play chords in UNISON-mode. Not good.

But otherwise I really like this synth from Viscount.
