Anyone buying the AX synth would more than likely be buying it for the starp on controllor side of things anyway and possibly playing external modules/Synths,given the price of the AX1/7 Reaching almost that of the cost of the AX synth,its a good buy,the internal engines simply a bonus even if it sounds shit.

If I didn't already own an AX1 I would be interesting in purchasing the AX Synth,I'm glad that Roland have seen an opening in the market for demand of such types of controllors,even if they've bolted on a less than pro Rompler engine.

It certainly has some nice leadsounds, such as the feedback guitar ot some of those Roland-ish sync sounds. Some of those SuperNatural sounds are indeed nice too. Of course some of the sounds are a bit lame, but that's how it works with romplers.

I suppose by "midish" you mean it sounds like a General Midi soundset.

I'm with Jarp here though. I don't like its looks, it looks like a big toy. What do you want with piano and organ sounds anyway? I would prefer an AX1 or 7 anytime...

Well if the sound engine is taken from the popular Fantom series, I doubt the sound is crap. You guys are just critical about it as a whole, because you really dislike certain parts of it Just like im perhaps overhyped about it, because I like it. Even JMJ himself seems to find the internal sounds useful during the recent tour. Toy-ish? njet
This is a toy:


Anyway I'll just bump my question:

Hmm after listening a lot to Industrial Revolution part 2 I was wondering, what Jarre used for the brass sound that follows the solo. First the D-50 came to my mind, but then I realized that it sounds quite Rendez-Vous-ish as if it was the Synthex.
Since it might be a preset question, I suppose someone has a simple answer

Apples and Oranges....Which is the best...simple

whatever you prefer

I'm not suprised they can be had for nothing I had one bought me for christmas(the grey/silver model) when I was a wee small child and the demo song on it was "Last Christmas" by Wham...Thankfully I ended up giving it away...

With that 'Wham' song on there, you were lucky to even give it away . I had one when I was younger and had to pay someone to take it away.

Damn, you could have given it me.

Thanxs Gert, I will see if can get one. Watch this space.

What sounds are made with Oscar in Industrial Revolution ?

I'm interested to know that too

Revolutions is D50 and Fairlight for a HUGE part.
Perhaps for some bass sounds?
Some sites state that the solo on IR Overture was done on an OSCar, but that's definately a D50 patch.

I'm pretty sure that the solo over Rendez-Vous 2 is an OSCar patch though - you can find a preset called "Perrier Lead" in the VST version

Damn I need to check that!

how is made Aerology lead? and a least what is synth i mean in Jarre in China. i know synth what used for playing. but some times i think jarre uses these only controllers.
