![]() ![]() ![]() The animated envelopes, in particular, are a real aid to sound creation. Beyond emulating the DX7, there are a host of upgrades that help enhance the sonic possibilities of the original and make programming easier. All the noise and expected artefacts were there (though there is an option to switch to a higher DAC resolution if this all sounds like low-grade obsessive nonsense). We compared the original ROM patches against those running on our computer and they sounded almost indistinguishable. As an owner of an original DX7 (Mk1), we were keen to see if Arturia had captured the sound of the synth engine and output stage. Although there are many soft synths that employ FM (Frequency Modulation) as their core sound generation method, this is the first to appear with the DX name. Deep and powerful.Īlso included is DX7 V, an emulation of Yamaha’s legendary and groundbreaking, synth from 1983. If this isn’t all enough to get your head around, there’s a built-in sequencer and effect section. ‘Left Hand’ utilises five modulation sources that can each be routed to any of the Easel’s 76 modulation targets, whilst ‘Gravity’ uses the interaction of objects placed in a 2D space to create irregular modulation possibilities. One of the advantages of software is that it is relatively easy to add features to an existing product, and Arturia have taken this opportunity to include two new modulation sources. Arturia’s Clavinet V makes use of physical modelling, rather than samples, and allows the inclusion of advanced editing controls to tweak the physical characteristics of the keyboard. Despite the first model - which featured a built-in amp and speaker - being less than successful, the Clavinet went on to become one of the essential keyboards of the 1970s (particularly, though not exclusively, in the realms of full-on funk). The Hohner Clavinet was originally intended as a modern, electric version of the clavichord (which itself was smaller and quieter version of the harpsichord). ![]()
