Novation K-station is another one. Even a third one is the Roland JP-8000 (Should have been the first one). There are lots of others but I modeled this one after the Nord.<br /><br />I could have modeled the engine my self as a custom piece of software but then again that won’t give you guys any choice of selecting your favorite synthesizer for your own projects.<br /><br />By choosing VST as our platform there will be endless options to choose what ever synthesizer sound you want, only CPU power will restrict what instrument you want it to sound like.<br /><br />The Japanese Synth1, a greate reproduction of the Nord Lead in VSTi form and it is free. If you build a VA your self, please feel free to choose your favorite VSTi. The thing is that Synth1 runs great on this hardware.<br /><br />How did I do it? Well I'll answer your question in 3 words… Windows 98, ASIO4ALL and VSThost!<br /><!- google_ad_section_end -><br />You can find the building process <a href="http://janostman.wordpress.com/"><strong>here</strong></a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8276388217713784285-4477202622122365929?l=diysynth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JanOstmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04259666188412412675noreply@blogger.com0
