@DukeWonder Nice tracks, and they definitely play to Alpha's strengths. Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear it in context to appreciate it.
Thanks! And you’re welcome, glad I could help.
I just don't like this extensive In-App-Selling what DRC is doing...
All good. I’d put TB Flowtones or Mela 3 up there with them too.
Strange thing to say, the last DRC IAP was added a year ago. And, in any case, I don't understand how it would make the experience worse if they did add more IAPs.
Mela 3 is my go to now for analog sounding goodness. I didn’t think anything would beat Alpha but the Mela engine is incredible. Alpha is still very close.
This is yet another situation where a question uses "OR" when it's obvious that it should not even be a question and use "AND". What else are you spending money on this week? Toilet paper? Cat food? If yes... a week is not too long to wait. AND them.
I really like the sound of DRC but anybody else not liking the super basic interface ?
I find myself lost in the GUI, not enough visual direction.
DRC because y’know, Imaginando ❤️
(Not to mention it’s an amazing sounding synth, and straight forward controls!)
Continua, easy
Continua for me. It has something extra that’s hard to define … a rich warm sound of its own. DRC has a richness of its own too but Continua has more flexibility and ways of introducing movement and also subtle shifts.
I’ve dabbled with Alpha, love the motion sequencing feature, but found the synth’s overall sound a bit...harsh? brash? aggressive? for my liking. Maybe I just need to get better at taming it to my taste.
DRC is good. Haven’t been inspired to do anything with it, though.
Continua is by far my favourite of the three choices. Nice sound. Plenty of modulation options for movement and expression.
Have to say Im surprised by these poll results. Or rather, I’m surprised at the poor showing for Alpha, specifically the seeming consensus that it sounds harsh and fatiguing. Sure the aesthetic of many of the presets might give this impression but starting from scratch I have found this synth quite capable of creating anything along the spectrum from warm and etherial to strong distortion. The fx are decent, the interface is nice…. I’m just not getting it.
Maybe it’s more a preference for DRC than a dislike for Alpha.
I kind of felt bad for them (although I did read an Alpha thread here where their interactions with users seemed slightly unfortunate, so perhaps this is affecting peoples feelings for it, I don’t know).
Fwiw, I have downloaded and deleted DRC a number of times because I just didn't click with it. I didn't even know it was popular (I’m quite new to iOS as a music making platform). After this thread I went and downloaded the demo again. Hated 90% of the presets but started to ‘get’ the appeal when I discovered the randomizer and pregain.
I bounce off Bleass UIs pretty hard so I've never given Alpha a proper chance based on the sound alone, maybe I should
Another vote for Alpha here too, especially when many iterations of a synth that need to work well together are required. It is also almost always pretty light on CPU, as with most of their offerings. Pair with MotionFx it is also my secret weapon… no matter the genre.
The other two aren’t generally in my wheelhouse (never clicked). For anything ‘bigger’ or more complicated I will go Synthmaster 2, and simpler is usually strng, tardigrain or mononoke.
I love Alpha, but the nod goes to DRC. I like the sound of it so much. There’s a richness to it that makes it end up in more tracks in more ‘roles’ in the audio spectrum than Alpha and most of the other dozens of synths in rotation. I never latched onto Continua, but it always sounded good to me.
Alpha is amazing
DRC's gonna get some really neat new functionality added soonish that will enhance its synthesis capabilities, no 'rocket science stuff' but more detailed control over what's already there to that degree that makes it feel like a new synth with a familiar face
Can't wait for that, it's one of my favorite synths
I'm curious what DRC got last year and if it WAS a gamechanger for it.
In new to DRC, but I've fallen in love. The sound is so rich and textured compared to Alpha. I love the bleass stuff, love their interfaces, but it's like the sound of alpha is just too clean. If I want some variation or some life to the sound then I have to work for it and usually it still ends up sounding a little lifeless compared to something with really interesting filters, like DRC or Dagger, or many others. I kinda decided Bleass filters are a little soulless. Megalit and Omega can create interesting timbres before the filter so I use them way more.
Haven't tried Continua. Does it still make anyone's list? Any other VA synths with real character?
Continua occupies its own special niche amongst the VAs for me. There’s some special sauce I can’t quite define that gives it a huge Bladerunneresque sound without trying too hard.
I think that extends to Quanta as well. Their synths have a certain character that just speaks to me. Even Phosphor kinda has it.
Quanta was already on thin ice with Samplewiz 2 and Salome, but now that WaveCloud is here I just uninstalled it...
Noted about Continua, I'll have a peek at Phosphor too.
