Softube : Model 82 Sequencing Mono Synth

Have you tried the GeForce SEM? I deleted the bx_Ob 2 minutes after installing the SEM.
Yes! I’m very close to deleting oberhausen because of it, and probably will, since I have other synths I prefer for polyphonic stuff. Like my OB-6 or DiscoveryPro. There’s a uniqueness to oberhausen, but I don’t think I require it.
 
the price for the roland sh-101 plugin is 99.- and the softube price is equal. A little bit strange, because the roland sounds more musical.

That synth (Model 82) is on sale for $59 right now with code: MODELTOREMODEL

indeed, but have you already searched for presets? I found only one sound designer that sells 100 presets for 15.- . Not really a big deal, when you compare these sounds with the roland preset expansion/s.
 
100 presets for a simple monosynth should be way more than enough to learn from and make them from scratch.
This is correct, but the roland sh-101 is a monster. My focus is now on the roland cloud version.
What I like on the softube model is sometimes the deep sound but I am not sure, if I can ever use it on a track. Maybe a problem of all these softube synths, but the effects are really great.

Have you matched the settings of what's shown and then tuned by ear?

The Softube synths sound like hardware. The Roland ones sound fine, too. Except then you need to do the whole Cloud thing, which I will never do.
 
This is how it should sounds:

Sure, I have all of them, but use them rarely.

No, you can buy what you really need from the cloud, eg. presets. There are some dealers with offers to the synth plugins where you can buy the key that you can redeem in the roland cloud. I have bought once the tb-303 plugin in a shop. The benefit in the roland cloud is, that you can download a lot of free stuff. It`s more a fine selection and you don`t need a subscription.
 
The downside is that it will disable the instruments you've paid for if it can't phone home when it wants to.
Yes, a permanent internet-connection is mandatory while you are starting the plugin and the presets are expensive. They have currently a sale, two lifetime keys plus the subscription for 199.- /year. I think that`s fair. I`ve seen that a guy wants to sell his original sh-101 unit for 4k. These things have their price. I will at first play a little while with the model 82 before I decide for the roland version. Not all of these roland cloud synths sounds like the original. eg. JD 800, yes and sometimes is it really better to choose a emulation like the Synth Anthology 3 or who would buy a JV1080 plugin? The roland cloud is more for rare things. Otherwise, korg has gone a another way.
 
Not that it really matters or is on-topic, but I finally sold my copy of Diva for what I paid for it ($100). I'd reinstalled it recently before selling and was still "meh" - I can get the results I want easier elsewhere. So I continue to do so.

Like with Model 82.

However, I don't use 82 or 72 as often as 84.

Hmm. Well, if the sounds you want are like those of the Model 82, I'd say you're right that DIVA isn't the best choice for you. Multiple simpler synths will probably get you where you want to be quicker.

Congratulations on the sale!

Thanks!

The proceeds more than paid for completing my Liquidsonics Quest (tm): Seventh Heaven Pro upgrade and then Illusion.

It's good that you are spending wisely! You could probably sell those at a profit, then buy them again next Black Friday and still be ahead financially. Or, I guess, you could use them...
