Yes, reverb would be great. You can allays put an external reverb on it but to have reverb in an fx channel as part of a preset gives more sound possibilities.

I have this fantastic synt for a week now and worked with it for 6 evenings. I started building my own sounds right away and in this demo you can hear a sound that uses vector and wavetable synthesis. Everything is played live using the keyboard, the joystick, the 4 part switch buttons and the pitch...

I will never cancel my Solaris order. If the Prophet 12 turns out to be a really good synth (with good build quality and good encoders and pots) some day I will buy one, but also a Solaris :) Clavia will also announce a new synth at the Musik Messe, I hope it will be a Nord Modular G3 (there is noth...

Very nice
