What does it mean: "but this year i not sure if anything gomes my music equiment"

No i dont use actually i very poor writing in english (not my native language) and listenins also its pain but reading goes well. and i mean i dont know if i buy any music stuff this year.

I was just joking, no offense intended. Sometimes automatic translators create funny sentences.
It's not my language too, I don't even know how many mistakes I do per sentence...
Good luck with your wish list!

I know no offense intended. i have nice translation in somewhere saddly its not english (but form english) and not music related its not suitable here but all what i can say even still i can laugh this translation when readed its many times. there its not only wrong word order but totally wrong words. what are english same but not in finish. like in music there is rest not break even these translate somelanguages same word.

What would be the best rack synth for that sort of acoustic sounds ?

The Z1 had more models than the Prophecy, but maybe it was more oriented towards analog synth modeling rather than to the acoustic stuff.
Yamaha VL70m should have been one of the last hardware attempt into acoustic physical modeling.
Korg Oasys does it, if I remember - we can ask Equinoxe, but it costs too much for me. For that money I would prefer a Yamaha CS-80 than...
The good news could be finding a Korg Oasys PCI Card for MAC / PC at a good price; it was the godfather of the Keyboard OASYS; it was a 24 bits soundcard and had several VA and Physical modeling algorithms:

Well, to the original question, I think the only rack synth for phisical modeling is the VL70m (half rack, though)

Let's go for a little update

Strings machine: Eminent 310U or ARP Solina string ensemble (To replace my Gmedia String Machine)

Modular: A system with some Synthesizers.com / YuSynth / MOS-LAB parts

Monophonic analog synth: RSF Kobol

Polyphonic analog synth: Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3

Digital synth: Kurzweil K2500R (to replace my K2000, actually for sale)

"ROMpler" : I dreamt about the Roland JD-990 and finally got it so I do not need anything else

Virtual analog : Clavia G2X

VST : Still waiting for a good emulation for EMS VCS3 / AKS

That's all for the moment

There are 3 solid software alternatives right now: Wok Cromina, Loomer String and Eminent-V.

Monophonic analog synth: RSF Kobol

Have you tried XILS polyKobol?

VST : Still waiting for a good emulation for EMS VCS3 / AKS

Have you tried the XILS XILS 3 (VSC3 emulation)?

I have no real gear exept my CS5....so :


- Eminent 310 U
- Prophet 5 ( with azote cooler system.... )
- Memory Moog
- Nordlead 2
- Laser Harp
- Minimoog ( white edition ? )
- AX-1 or AX-7

But that's just a dream....

I don't know about Eminent V. Compare to Cromina ?

Beelooo you should probably try Loomer String, it's the top string synthesizer at the moment, and likely to remain there for a while.
Both Cromina and Eminent V are good for that ARP/Eminent string sound, but that's it.
String on the other hand is that and much more.
Probably the best description of it would be "cinematic".

I've just done a 157 preset bank for it and included in there are 30 Jarre sounds.
And a new version of String just came out today: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... t=#4118316

"HunterKiller" ?

Please stay on topic!

Allrighty.

demo of that string thing please?

does nobody want a Oberheim OBX-(a)

Leandro wrote:does nobody want a Oberheim OBX-(a)

Sure, I do.
But I don't have any room for it... these are HUGE... also spare parts are rare and expensive.
OB-8 is even better

On my wish list?

Reason Version 5.

That didn't convince me at all. GForce's VSM sounds much better..
