Do you know the Galbanum Architecture waveforms?
Some 25,200 single cycle sample waveforms.
http://www.galbanum.com/products/architecturewaveforms2010
I have just imported them into my demo copy of Kaivo, and after swallowing mightily, it seems to play very nicely with them.
Thank you Randy!
Yes, building up patches from the default is how I usually learn a synth. On the whole I really like Aalto's design and approach.
That said, I have now stumbled on a competitor to Aalto which I really like. Kaivo. What a lovely, lovely synth! I've just been playing with it for the last half our and I am really feeling it.
I will go through a mandatory cool down period before I get out my credit card...
Camping... I wish. It's rainy season here in Cape Town and the clouds are rolling down the mountain. Good tweaking weather.
Hi there I hope it is OK to post this here.
Just to say I am new to Aalto (in fact I am just playing around with the Demo still...
I am an amateur electronic musican (I work on Ableton Live) and I have been very struck by the Buchla sound after coming across Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's album EARS. So I have been enquiring around and came across Aalto.
I am looking at something that I can play live & that has strong possibilities for evolving, complex sounds that change over time. I have been getting very tired of all the same old same old sounds I hear on the average soft synth.
Basically choosing between Aalto and U-He-s Bazille. It is a non-trivial decision partly because I live in Cape Town and our currency is very weak. So I have to choose carefully.
Anyway, I am here because I would like to know more about Aalto especially (1) quality of support and (2) advanced patching and preset building.
