Poll: Editing Solo Synth on G1 With Sliders

[AlenK]

I asked this already here but only Scott replied. Since I have to assume that there are more forum members than just Scott who own a G1, I decided to repost my question as a poll instead.

 

Why am I asking? I am planning a project and I need more info on how users actually do editing on the G1 (can't tell you anything about the project or it might jinx the whole thing).

You might want to edit the thread title to make it G1 Specific.

The real time control with the sliders was a big reason I choose the G1, probably even more than the sampling. I primarily use the G1 as a solo synth so being able to tweak and shape the sound in real time is a huge plus. I do have the iPad app, but I tend to use that just to experiment with. For performance, I like the feel of the physical controls.

It's in the G1 specific forum. I was assuming forum members have a least a smidgen of intelligence.

Confucious say, man who eat slider while editing make greasy sound.

Hey folks, I made the poll public out of ignorance (I didn't know if everyone would be able to see the totals if I didn't).  Don't let that throw you off.  I only want the totals.  So far there are only three GW owners who were willing to say whether they use the sliders or not.  I know there are more of you out there!  C'mon, throw me a bone.  (Scott, please resist the temptation to post a picture of a bone. I'm catching on to your twisted sense of humor. )

hmmm.. not sure how many G1 owners are in the forum. P1 is more popular so I don't know how many more votes you'll get.

I've voted frequently. Well should be almost frequently the result are not nearly as good the level Mike Martin does but I'm still in my basic novice level learning the settings and parameters.

I've added my vote, even though I've only had my G1 for a day! The individual solo synth slider controls is a VERY nice touch, and like Scott I really like the 'hands on' feel of editing, much the same as classic mono synths of old. Though I really don't understand why the P1 doesn't also have this feature considering it has the same solo synth engine?

I used the editor when I first bought the G1 ,to help me understand the engine. But now I use only the sliders and sometimes the cool ipad app!

 

PS. Sorry for the resurrection of the post ,I didn't noticed the date!

I use the sliders. Ipad app is definitely easier but the sliders are always there. Would be cool if the pattern buttons could be used to select which oscillator the sliders are controlling. The method to switch OSCs is clever but a little clumsy for me. Sometimes I look at those unused-when-editing-the-solo-synth pattern buttons and dream a bit.
