Fabfilter One for €5

[aisling]

Yes, I have a ton of power-synths (Komplete 2-5, Zebra 2, Surge, Alchemy, Morphine, Symptohm, Kubik, MS-20, etc.), but I still bought this. The sound on this thing is fantastic, and having such a limited amount of buttons is great because

a) It makes you really *want* to map it to your MIDI controller. The more complex beasts like Zebra almost invariably stay on the mouse for me, but I have a beautiful Automap template set-up for One that just makes me use it.
b) There's a huge sweet spot on this thing. It's limited, sure, but almost everything sounds good, and it finds its role in the song much quicker.

I already kind of had One before I bought it. It comes with every issue of CM, but the version on the disc is old and doesn't have polyphony. So, in reality, I paid $6 just to have more notes from this puppy.

Furthermore, if you are interested in other Fabfilter products, this sets up your account with the upgrade prices.

So yeah, in my opinion, skip a Happy Meal and buy this.

Thank you guys for the feedback......I'll skip the 6 dollar burger at carls jr and go this route

Anyone know what the upgrade from V1 to V2 costs?

Really light on CPU too ... just stuck a bunch of them in a drum rack and created a pretty cool synth drum machine! µTonic ... bah!!!

ive had a couple days to play around with this after picking it up last week. i have to say, im surprised at the playability of this synth; with few controls you can get alot of interesting sounds (and not just traditional moogish filter sounds).

and the sound; i had to ask myself if i wasnt falling victim to the hype surrounding these softsynths; i had read a few places that they sounds especially good and i think this one really does.

any other opinions?
