As the title states,
Given space and price being no object,
which of these modules would you choose,
1. as a primary drum module
2. as a melodic voice
3. 1 or 2 with support from plaits drum models
I understand that the methods of synthesis are different.
Thanks in advance
I debated this pretty hard for a few months and ultimately decided on BIA. I felt that I could get similar sounds from BIA plus a bit more variety in less hp. That's not to say Akemie's is not awesome. I would still like to have the Taiko (and Akemie's Castle), but I have FM sounds covered outside of the rack. And with the new updated Volca FM I just saw, I feel like you could cover your FM needs with much less $$$.
I'm curious to hear what others have chosen in this particular shootout.
Ok, interesting
My feel was that the Taiko may have more potential as a melodic voice, where as the BIA seems pretty drum-centric
Here's a quick video of some melodic BIA sounds. The attack and release can be reasonably long for melodic duties.
Ooh! Those are lovely sounds!
Far less aggressive than I would have imagined.
bia is my primary bassline voice and i love it. way more aggressive than akemies
I made this video to showcase the wideness in terms of sound design of the BIA, in case you want to hear more
