MR FURY 3 - Trippy Past by KUJASHI

[Sounddigger]

What I really appreciate is these banks for older forgotten synths truly prove it's not a question of having the latest greatest 64-bit VST3 flavor of the month... it's not the brush, it's the artist that matters! :kaffee

For certain, I can only agree with this statement.

However, in all fairness to Korg and the excellent VSTs it has put out such as the Polysix's VST version, I found that the MrFury VST can not quite compete with the quality of Korg's.

I liked Kujaschi's demo a lot (well done K!). It got me interested enough to give the VST a try.

Unfortunately, it sort of crashes when using it in Studio One 2.6, which is the DAW I use (it gets stuck in a horrible sound spike). So I checked it out in MiniHost.

As in the description it is said that it's a "far emulation" of the Polysix, I compared it to Korg's VST version.

Even though MrFury has 2 independant osc while the P6 has only 1, the P6 simply sounds fatter and deeper, even without any of the effects (such as the amazing ensemble effect).

In fact, the P6's sound totally keeps blowing me away. You can get really classic (and otherwise) amazing sounds out of it. It sounds great even without any reverb and/or delay. It's a very good emulation of a hardware synth.

So yes, what counts is the music one makes with all these wonderful instruments. And you can make fantastic music with just a wooden box and some strings, such as a modern violin. But for lush and deep sounds, it won't be a match for a Stradivarius in the hands of a master player.

Everything has it's place though, and deserves appreciation for it. The MrFury VST has a nice "analog-ish" flavor to its sound (hard to describe, a kind of a tape saturation effect - but it actually makes me think more of the Korg Delta than the P6), however it's still very flat. On the other hand, if that's what works for your track, then it's a winner

Check the following sound examples, to hear what I mean about the P6 (incidentally, both tracks are good examples of how due to excessive repetition, they end up being quite boring, nothwithstanding how nice the sounds are...  :o )
