We can dream: Access Monosynth
 

So I've had a waldorf pulse for a while, which is easily my favorite monosynth that I've ever played (and I've played them all), and I can't help but think it would be great if access came out with their own analog monosynth

How ridiculous would that be!

Imagine a 3 VCO monosynth with analog filters modeled after the virus filters (selectable between 1-4 pole ala the little phatty)
analog saturation,
a mod matrix,
arpeggiator
and the FX section of the virus,
with a knob per function keyboard the size of the polar!

Priced around $1500 it would fucking dominate!

anyone else with me here on this dream?

Are the oscs analog, too?

Sure why not? It would have the option to be Analog or digital... MonoEvolver-esque hybridization.

VCO = Analog.

:D The concept of modeling an analog filter from a digital one is amusing! Not poking fun. Just the total opposite of the norm and has some comedic value. But on a serious note, I think it would be extremely difficult to make an analog filter that sounds like the Virus filter.

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to be a naysayer... I mean it's an analog synth modeled after a digital synth that was modeled after an analog synth...

it doesn't mean it couldn't happen or won't happen, but it doesn't seem to really be access's bag...

I stand by my vision/dream of a analog/digital hybrid Access monosynth. That would be a real blaster.

$1,500 is lot of dough... I think if they wanted to dominate thwy would go the route of $499 and make more/less a Dave Smith Instruments Mopho with TI integration and a prettier paint job.

Seriously though, in this economic climate a $1,500 mono synth just won't cut it. Thats $300 more than a Snow! How can Access market such an expensive mono synth when they have spent their entire existence promoting VA?

I like the idea but it would have to be at the aforemntioned price point or bust.

I dont really think so... It could be a competitor to the little phatty, and since it would offer more features than even the voyager, they would do way better

voyagers cost around 3 grand and you still see everyone picking one up

honestly though I just want to see an all analog monosynth from access, whether it is a rack unit with a software editor, a full fledged keyboard, or some desktop like the mopho, and I don't care the price point, but if they were to release a full fledged keyboard, it would defnitely have to be $1000 or above

someone mentioned above that theyd want to see an analog digital hybrid... and yeah I'd like to see that as well, a virus TI with analog filters would be perfect (ala the waldorf Q+).

Take the stickers that you got included with your Virus TI, and stick them on your favourite Monosynth, maybe the Pulse in your opinion.

I think that's probably the only way to get an Access branded Monosynth. :D

Personally I think the idea is redundant anyway as the Virus TI can produce Fantastic VA Mono/Poly sounds without expensive discrete components.
In my opinion the TI sounds better and has much wider expression and modulation than the synths it is loosely based on.

On a side note, I would love to get the Access controller to go with my OB Matrix 1000. I've been looking for an affordable one for years.
