It's just not a good candidate for replacing what I would qualify as the "drum synth" genre like Microtonic, Tremor, StiX, etc. It doesn't sound good for that. And it's not that it sounds different, it's that I think the envelopes are kinda garbage, the pitch down envelope on kick attack sounds weird to me too. I don't like the filters, the saturation, or the fx as well. It just really didn't sound good to me at all.Interested in your opinionwas it the audio quality, or the UI? Have you used microtonic, and how would it compare?
Although I see that battalion have more Synth "sources", many of them sounded similar to me.
was it the audio quality, or the UI? Have you used microtonic, and how would it compare?It seems to shine when you straight up distort, glitch, or do very LOUD things with it, relying rather heavily on a weird sample you load in, which covers up it's weakness in that it's just not that good at all for regular synth drum duties.
I think the UI is fine. The modulation, "variation" modulation, and global modulation options are it's strong points. The sequencer seemed pretty good too. If you want to do glitchy, loud, and distorted things that modulate randomly like that video posted earlier in this thread, you can, but as a Bitwig user I don't need a plug-in to do this sort of stuff, let alone one that doesn't really sound good to me. The install comes with a sample library that is just going to take up space on my drive, so it was an easy decision to uninstall and move on because of that.
This is just my opinion tho! I don't want or mean to discount other's opinions who are loving it haha. I do give UA props for always trying to do some things differently.
Cheers
