It definitely has that 70s fat synthesizer sound that I love and can&#8217;t seem to find on newer synths. It has that midrange punch and a sort of random spiky sound that really bites and blows away anything newer.<\/p>\n<p>One thing of note is that although it has a fantastically fat brass sound, it only has one envelope, much like the SK-20 so if you hold a note down, you don&#8217;t get the attack on any other notes you play. Not a big problem though.<\/p>\n<p>The ensemble sound on the strings isn&#8217;t as pronounced as my other string synths but although it&#8217;s a but more subdued it does the job really well. The Yamaha SK-20 has a softer string sound, but it can be made much brighter by mixing in the synth setting an octave higher. The Quartet is in between those two. <\/p>\n<p>So, once again, I can&#8217;t wait to finish mixing these songs so I can get back to recording and put these guys to use!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, one more has arrived and it&#8217;s a beauty!
