New Synth from D16 group.

They're billing it as "the only synthesizer you'll ever need".  The demos do sound great. EDM ain't my thing, but some of the demos are reminiscent of Constance Demby, which is more my speed. 

Funny thing is that back in the day I had a real SH-101 for awhile,  didn't care for it at all. Some of the demos did remind me of why I got rid of it, while others made me think "my SH-101 never sounded that good."

I thought the demoes sounded Real good. Just wonder what the price will be?

This thing sounds pretty awesome, really.  This plug might be uniquely versatile enough to find a wider range of uses and justification for acquisition. It may be worth consideration even to those that don't do EDM. I'd like to hear more samples and see the price first, however, and afterward reviewing the manual, to give it more evaluation.

It may be worth consideration even to those that don't do EDM. .

That's me. From the demos I think I could find uses for it, but it will depend on the price.

Anything less than $150 and I will be interested.  Anything more than $150 and I will think about it.  Anything more than $200 and I will totally pass on it.

My guess is $149, or $179.  We will see.



Its a killer synth though.  Its, "an acid monster."

cheaper if you have d16 products already :) ..


would have a guess at £90-140 though , reason being other synths like sylenth , alchemy etc etc

yep you assumed wrongly .. *BUT* it depends on what your type of music making is /was.. much like when someone I knew who worked for roland could get 303's for £26 back in the day and didn't by a load of em :)

trust me d16 are on point with their roland clones so far.. and their fx are good also.. demo them, and you'll see.. so on the scale of will it be accurate ? it's a none brainer from what I know of their rep AND the demos I've heard.

I just listened to the new audio they threw up on soundcloud...   not good, imo...   I've lost interest.   I'll leave it at that.

hopefully it'll be a bigger discount the more you have of theirs. I bought the fx and instrument bundles :)

if they knock £30-40 off it great.. if it's £10, well I'll email em saying "big deal" .. but I'll have a guess at £20 off

you do have taxes though , like state ones etc ?  when I went Canada years ago.. it was GST / PST (which I could claim back being a none resident)

d16 are Polish , so can't speak for the tax on exports to the US from there.. VAT is 20% now ;-) and last time (long ago was 17.5)

I would have got done over if I bought my 824's + mackie BK weeks later = BIG price hike for a US import.. so now you're feeling a bit of our pain with US companies ;-)

how does it work with say PSP ? they are also polish, do you get charged tax with them also?


like PSP their products are good, so I'm happy you don't buy it.. as the fewer that do.. the better for me...

but joking aside, I'd wait till xmas IF it's that much an issue, as I bet they do a nice xmas price on their bundles.

well when I bought a mackie BK it was £150 ages ago.. then it went up to £253 in a few weeks!!! ... it currently is £216.. you might find you did pay tax on the PSP stuff, as the shop does add it.. only reason for mentioning them is because they are poland based also.

perhaps email them, they will tell you how it works out.. their stuff is very good though.. try the demos anyway.. you'll see  


I had a look at their shop, and it's via digital river / share it , they might be based in germany coz of the GBH thing 

the "sales tax" is 19% 

.. and saw this >>



Adapting sales tax/VAT when country of delivery is changed
If the country of delivery is changed during the order process, the sales tax/VAT rate shown here may also change.
Note: We are required by law to display final prices (equal to the product price plus any applicable VAT) in the order process. Under certain circumstances, if, for instance, a VAT ID is entered during the order process for a transaction between two companies, the total amount displayed may be reduced by the exact VAT amount.

the total bundle is 449 euro.. BUT in USD = $549 (solely from their site)

*BUT* using XE.com .. the same as 449 euro TODAY = $582

so you are getting it cheaper than what it should be *IF* it's like for like. their price is derived from the Euro price probably. You could claim the VAT back I guess, not sure if / how others do that as I'm not in the US or have a company to claim it back via.


it's a pity roland themselves didn't do vst's of their own instruments

  Interesting..  I'm checking out the demo, but I recently bought Oxium so their is slim chance I will grab, "two new synths," unless this Lush101 thing is so amazing, "specifically to me."  I realize that Lush101 might be amazing to others, and that I might be missing the point completely

tried the demo, just bought it.. got a bit off the price as I'm a previous customer.

it does the classic 101 sound , but a lot more.. 

Awesome!!  Enjoy it..   I agree it does that classic sound and a lot more..   but I am passing because, "Rapture is my only synth that I want, "complexity from."  I've spent years learning it, and I am comfortable with it..   All the other synths I pass on, have complexity!  Synth squad, Reaktor, and a lot of other NI synths are very complex..   so I pass on them..   Synths that turn me on instantly now, are simple synths for stupid people..  lol..   ACE, Diva, Oxium, Retrologue..   Those are the demos that I have most enjoyed recently...

I think its awesome though, "we don't all need to have the same kit."   Enjoy the new synth though!   I bet you will make some amazing music with it...
