Looking at functionality, I can't imagine how Softube are going to compete with VCVRack in the long run, as development on their side has been rather slow. It's obviously hard to tell, since there's no direct overlap in "emulated" modules and even two basic oscillators can sound different from one another, but there's at least no immediately apparent quality difference where one just clearly sounds great and the other doesn't. Soundwise, I have not noticed significant differences. I'd say Softube Modular is hardly ever worth the money when compared to VCVRack. And he has more possibilities in terms of diversity for musical creation. And in terms of possibilities, creation of instruments, sounds, with different patches and modules - including the Buchla 259e - we learn with a real modular.įinally, the Modular Softube is cheaper than a Diva or other Vst (i) of Korg or Arturia.
You are contradictory, you boast the fact that VCV is free - but unusable in a DAW - and you say "take DIVA" or the Korg or Arturia vst to learn how to patch.Īlready, apart from the excellent Modular of Arturia, the others that you quote do not allow to learn to patch. And personally I prefer it to VCV rack especially because I can use it as a VST in my Daw. Modular Softube is also an excellent product.
Arturia and Korg stuff you can learn to patch in any DAW using built in synth and effects. if you gonna buy vst screw the sales and save up for U HE junk like Diva and such. And right up to the present day the Curve Bender and Zener Limiter are being used in both hardware and plug-in form by top producers and engineers across records by world-leading artists such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, The White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, and more.VCV is just beautiful. The roots of the Chandler sound are in EMI consoles, used at Abbey Road from the 60s onwards to record some of the most seminal albums of all time, by the likes of Pink Floyd and The Beatles. Tracing the heritage of the Chandler Limited® Zener-Bender is like discovering an imperial family tree. THD and EQ as independent processors in the Console 1 ecosystem.
The Curve Bender's filters, for example, can be placed before an existing Console 1 shape section, while the Zener’s THD circuit occupies Console 1's drive section as a processor unto itself – making the Zener-Bender sonically assured in Console 1, while allowing you the feel and workflow of dedicated hardware. Component-modeled with Softube's customary care and experience, the sound of these units together can take charge of any mix. The Zener-Bender for Console 1 combines in one channel strip the crisp and colorful character of the Curve Bender Mastering Equalizer with the big, punchy Zener Limiter to bring class, history, and most crucially of all, a phenomenal sonic impact.
