If you’re a hardware synth person, don’t let the price get to you.
Listening to customers is a good thing and I get a sense that the developers do care about vintage gear. I’ve got a couple of synths that aren’t covered yet (Access Virus Rack and a Roland MKS-70), so I’ve voted them onto the list along with some others. Finally, I do appreciate the voting system for adding new gear. Now I can truly dig around in the settings of my Roland D-550 and Yamaha TX-81z and craft some unique vintage voices for my compositions with ease - in my living room, AirPlaying from Logic on my iMac to a HomePod controlling the D-550 from my iPad over WiFi in real time (admittedly, I did it because I could.). It did take a bit of troubleshooting and tweaking, but once I worked the out configuration it has been a charm to use. I’ve tried dedicated hardware and iOS editors as well as some MacOS-based options before, but the easy setup, clean interface and patch design features of Patch Base are fantastic - learn one interface, one workflow and keep creating. I’ve collected a small stack of vintage rack synths and the latest release of Patch Base just added a whole new layer of happy creativity to my music.
