Hartmann Neuron, Keyboard users Options

[CatloveX]

Hi,

Please, to anyone using the keyboard version of the Neuron, could you say for how long have you had it, the use it is having in your studio and if it is worth it?

All the demos I heard on the net are ambient, also, it is always the same "metallic" sounds I hear; Is that the only use you can have from it?

Thanks in advance for eventual replies.


Is it still posible to find the MODELmaker soft somewhere on the net?

As it's Mr Hartmann cherished baby, I don't think he'll let it disappear without struggling. They are facing difficult economic issues (but they are not dead, like Waldorf was), also it's moving again in the Waldorf zone (Hartmann is ex Waldorf) and he worked on the new Moog too in between… There's hope even if it's foggy… People have difficulties to understand how it is in very small synthesizers business when you have to fight to get things out. Having lived this myself and knowing a lot of small manufacturer, I know they are passionate by what they do and really want their stuff out and the best possible (like 99% of them, others disappear fast), but the hardware business is even more difficult than the software…

It is a very special synth so not for everyone, if in doubt, it's better to stay away from it, at least until you can put your hands on one before buying. Meanwhile, Mr Hartmann and his associates will have time to get the Neuron back on its feet or found a solution so the user base is not left over.

(hope hope, it's been one of the very few interesting and new things in synthesis for a long time
