After finally getting a chance to look at the links you guys posted here, I was excited about the Mother 32. But, like Chysn, I find the bare-bones envelope a killer. With all the time and care that goes into designing even an ostensibly simple sound, to have so little control over the shape of it is unacceptable. It seems as if this happens a lot now with synthesizers, the compromising in this department. It must be a type of electronic music using rapid sequences that cares so little for the shape of the envelope. I consider three four-stage envelopes to be required sound design resources. I suppose two could be manageable, but anything less is absurd. Then striking a note is too much like turning a light on and then turning it off, with little more happening before, during, or after the note strike.
Then again, after listening to more Mother 32 recordings, I'd say this is a module designed for live tweaking. In other words, the scarcity of refined envelope control is compensated for by hands-on turning of the filter. Which is to say that it's not ideal to play this with a keyboard, but rather, with the sequencer while turning parameters. I get it, but it isn't for me.
The Mother 32 is no substitute for the Voyager. So, I wonder what will be?
