    That was a brilliant very clear introduction to the Nymphes.
    Your voice was very clear.
    I am partially deaf so struggle with people that mumble and do not speak clearly.
    I understood your every word!
    You have just sold a Nymphes!!
    Cheers man you are legend.

    What’s great about this is it’s an analogue device with all those quirks, but also complete CC control and presets, and a brilliant price, from a small company that I don’t have to feel bad about supporting 😂

    I love Dreadbox. I wish they would get out of the “box” and make a flagship keyboard. Imagine two of these in a board, knob per function, split/layer, and a few extra bits and bobs. It would be killer.

      I dunno, they’ve kinda carved out a cool niche for themselves with these boxes. A flagship keyboard could be a boat anchor to a small boutique company, economically speaking.

    The workflow is a non-issue when you take a few minutes and map CC's to the unit; i've got my top faves loaded into the 4 banks on Arturia Keystep 37, and haven't touched the shift button in months 🤙🌌

    • @devinbelangermusic
      @devinbelangermusic  2 года назад

      great tip! I genuinely really like the workflow as is but I could totally see midi CC’s being a great solution for that last page of parameters I didn’t like!

  • @dennisristow2102

    Nice deep dive. Like most mono synths going back to my P5 rev 3, a little effect is almost manditory. Even the pro reviews of the CS-80 will tell you it requires reverb. Throw a little stereo something (chorus, delay or reverb) and this thing sounds amazing. A poly/key tracking LFO doing PWM is my absoule favorite pad sound on my Prophet 5 and this thing absolute nails that same vibe, for $500-$600. You just can't beat that. If you don't want the built in reverb it's easy enough to not use it and it's always there in a pinch. Now that it responds to MPE it's way beyond a no brainer. The unique trick up it's sleeve with all the unison/mono modas besides the poly mode is soooooo good! Throw it into 3 voice dual oscillator mode with detune and it more than stands with the output of the 'logues and the boutiques. Every sudio should have this machine.

    • @devinbelangermusic

    Looking forward to the Nymphes 2. Knowing Dreadbox they usually develop carnations of their most successful synths, and this is already one of their most successful ones. Next one I hope will have knobs instead of faders, and a bit more hands on control for the modulation and not just usb-powered. So often you get noise using usb-power depending on the cord and adapter.

    OK just heard that you added delay and verb in post. I have a bunch of pedals and can do this live but would rather something like the Typhon with some amazing built in fx.
    I'll keep this on my radar but have another something more special coming.
