Re: NI Monark
I have this one. Monark it's very good sounding plugin. Warm and tight. Also not so hard in understanding synthesis process. But! This synth is monophonic! This is not a problem if you wanna ta use it for basslines & leads. I think that Monark worth the money.
Re: NI Monark
There are already polyphonic patches (since it's Reaktor module), and some even more expanded with more effects and filters..Geek Model wrote:I have this one. Monark it's very good sounding plugin.

Re: NI Monark
I don't think Monark is worth the full asking price. I bought it using a 30 euro discount voucher, which brought it down to an acceptable value. You need to remember that as well as being monophonic (not a major issue)it also does not respond to velocity. NI have replicated a Moog, including all the limitations of the original instrument. It does sound good in the same sonic area that Moogs sound good.

That's what I am thinking - I held off on the gear lust and calmed down since my initial impulses!Sional wrote:I don't think Monark is worth the full asking price.
