I have recently tried the Elka-X and I couldn’t resist buying it. :rofl:
Some presets are really heavy on the CPU but it sounds really good.

I also listened to Elka-X some time ago and I must say that it sounds very good.
Almost, I do a one-off shopping… I’m tempted to get both…

Hi, Dave

It’s been out for a while (I am sure I posted it here…).

It is amazing, and replaces the old Taurus VST from Smart Electronix, which has always sounded great but was 32 bit only and no longer under development.

I snapped up this one immediately and got my Smart Electronix patches programmed, and they sound identical.

So it gets my vote.

Sorry Derek, I must have had a senior moment. :grin:

Are they bundling this Taurus emulation with any other stuff?

I think we’re allowed a few… :smiley:

Here’s what I originally posted

And now you have highjacked this thread … turn about is fair play. As far as your cornbread goes it made me think of chili so thanks for that, now I want both … :yum:

What would this forum be without us hijacking a thread?

BUT, I concur…chili sounds good. Thanks to you I will thinking about it all day. :smirk:

Just to stay on topic, I will be testing a Cherry Audio plug whilst I eat chili and cornbread. :grin:

Any idea if Lowdown would work with a Wind Synth? I depend on CC 2 (Breath) for dynamics rather than the Volume of Note On messages. Lowdown has no demo version, so I can’t tell.

Failing that, might anyone know of another Bass Pedal virtual instrument that might work with a wind synth?

Scroll to the bottom left of the product page, there’s a demo link on the purchase box.

What an idiot!

Never saw the [Demo] link. Downloaded now and …

Lowdown works great with a Wind Synth … mapped the pedals to Breath and Elevation (the Sylphyo has an internal gyro that reports 3-axis orientation) and it is really flexible …

I just bought their latest offering, “Sines” and it’s pretty amazing.

I bought Lowdown a couple of moths ago to simulate electronic organ bass sounds. It has a very fundamental tone and I like it very much.

I tried it out at rehearsal last night.

Purchased.

All it seems to lack is a bit of ‘bite’ - real Taurus have a tiny bit of distortion during the Taurus preset sustain phase. That doesn’t show itself in this emulation, but to be fair I could never get it in my own sampled emulations either.

Which MIDI bass pedal can be recommended for controling the Lowdown or other Synths?

I found these (a bit expensive):

Ketron K 8
Studiologic MP-113 and Studiologic MP-117
