Anyone have a MFB 522 Drumcomputer?

Yeah it is AJ, but there seems to be a mixed idea of analogue these days. It could have some kind of DCO or something....
Re: Anyone have a MFB 522 Drumcomputer?
i ordered one of these units and i hope it arrives sometime next week, I'll keep this topic in mind and write a few lines about it then
Re: Anyone have a MFB 522 Drumcomputer?
Please do mate! I would just be interested to hear a repetative kick drum from it. My Jomox seems to add quite a lot of movement to its kick.
If this has, I will almost definitely buy one.

Re: Anyone have a MFB 522 Drumcomputer?
I downloaded a very complete set of samples from each of the instruments from it, but i cant find the forum where i got them, i do still have them in a ZIP file if you want....it is 30.4MB.
i must say i liked the sound a lot.

DCO's are still analogue, the digital bit is only to control the stability of the oscillator. Dave Smith would be able to market mopho and P08 as synths with 100% analogue signal path.lem wrote:Yeah it is AJ, but there seems to be a mixed idea of analogue these days.

anyway as far as i know MFB stopped doing DCO stuff a while ago.

To me DCO's don't sound like VCO's, they sound like DCO's. Maybe its a psychological thing? But I always feel like a DCO is a bit more sterile.
I can't remember where I found it, but a synth designer had documented the different types of oscillator. I'm pretty sure there was a lot of types of VCO and DCO. I don't mean in design, but in terms of what the digital is controlling and what the analogue is controlling.
Re: Anyone have a MFB 522 Drumcomputer?
100% analogue signal path isnt everything though, digital control elements such as envelopes, LFOs etc. can have a large bearing on the quality of a synth, and DCOs arent all created equal either.tone-def wrote:DCO's are still analogue, the digital bit is only to control the stability of the oscillator.

my own experience of hybrid analogue/digital synths has generally been dissappointing, nowadays it has to be 100% analogue for me, and thats not in some purist, evangelical way, i've just found that the quality is generally better, its almost inevetiably the digital elements which go wrong, or stop the synth from breathing
