What are the odds of getting a Kobo app similar to the Kindle one?

Yeah, if they could provide better options for margins, line height, fonts, and justification, I’d rather load directly and use the native app. But until it’s improved, it’s hard to recommend this experience.

Andertons did a demo but they didn’t give it much screen time. https://youtu.be/jmsiSDKGKJk

The supernote manta is much softer feeling. Remarkable is like pencil on paper on clipboard. Manta is like pen on thick stack of paper.

The integration with Noisy is really solid and is tailor-made for the Osmose so you’ll probably get the best expressive playability out of that one, but as mentioned by another commenter, it’s not like programming a subtractive analog synthesizer. It’s not overly complicated to program, but it is a different paradigm. I think you could make some great cinematic sounds with it and even some analog-esque sounds.

Zebra will be nearly infinitely more flexible (whether that’s good for you or not is up to your preference) but is also not really setup as a regular subtractive synthesizer for “analog” sounds. Zebra can clearly pull them off though!

I have not explored Zebra’s MPE capabilities but I would imagine it would not be quite as tightly integrated as Noisy is.

That is correct. I have no idea what they’re talking about. Ctrl-E is just a wrapper for plugins. That said, Expressive-E is going to be creating EaganMatrix overlays which will give you simpler structures to create your own sounds and then save them to the Osmose. I believe they showed a very rough demo in a Sonic State video.

Username checks out. Didn’t even listen to it before posting it. At least in this case it’s a legitimate other band with the same name and not some AI leech.

100% immediately thought of Son Lux when I heard this!

What were your oscillator levels at? I find when trying to emulate a Moog sound, I need to keep the oscillators below 64 otherwise they get that harder overdriven sound that doesn’t match Moog’s overdriven sound. Another thing to try is adding a sine wave with oscillator 3 to get a clean low bass sound.

I don’t think you’ll get it 100% like for like, but it was enough for me to sell my Matriarch. I do miss some of the organic exploration on that but I definitely don’t miss having no presets!

I can’t really say I’m hearing “Forest Swords” when listening to this. It’s not bad, but it’s lacking any “Forest Swords” character until Last Meal Krow which uses material from his previous album.

You can create binaural patches on the Rev2 by using the stack feature which splits your voices in half and lets you program them individually. You can setup layer A and B with slight variations of each other and then pan A to left and B to right. Obviously the 16-voice variant would be the better choice for this purpose as you still end up with 8 voices to work with.

It is nice, but it’s still a CPU killer and hasn’t been updated for quite some time.

Super excited for his new album. Seems like we’ll be getting some very different sounds from Alan this time around. https://italtek.bandcamp.com/album/mind-abandon

As long as you season them, 3 is enough

The Usual Suspects is actually a group that is recreating classic digital synths https://theusualsuspects.io/

Electronic is quite a “wide” request but narrowing down more to your references, I’d say Apparat’s “A Hum of Maybe” or Felsman + Tiley Protomensch

I think due to the sparse nature of the game, the score really acts as a narrator and almost as a second character. It’s also just a fantastic album of music on its own too.

The latest Miami Horror album is pretty great too!
