Late to the party...

Is P12 the only 4-Oscillator Poly Synth with individual glide per oscillator?

Anyway I miss my P12 and just bought one again

Never should have sold it!!!

The individual glide per OSC is so big for my play style I have really missed it badly

While it's design is centered around a rather different principle, i found the Digitone II is often filling the same sonic niche here.
It doesn't have the same spectrum limited character baked in, and can do very bright high frequency tones as well, but it does excell in similar weird, sometimes grungy or lofi timbres that dwell in the no-man's land between analogue and digital.

DN II has bit depth reduction and sample rate reduction, & a weird overdrive that sometimes sounds great, and bandwith filters besides the regular VA ones, that can behave like the p12's character section.

There's two VA engines (but a lot of the most convincingly analoguish patches i made with the fm engine). Linear FM and the waveform harmonics control reminds me a lot of the P12 oscillators, except that the depth and range is taken to a whole other level.

It has an ok-ish utilitarian delay, chorus and reverb effect, but also comb filters, so that kind of equals a lot of stuff the delay lines and tuned feedback would acomplish.

Maybe i'm compensating for missing my P12. that mod matrix was pretty epic. It's the only thing the DNII can't improve on.

That is an interesting and surprising admission.

Most of the demos I've heard from the DN2 showcase glitchy techno/8-bit/chip tune type patches. I did hear an analog soundset for the DN1 utilising the OG FM engine that isn't bad, though I'd be sad if the new VA engines can't get closer.

Would be great to have a streamlined mod matrix. It is still nice that velocity can be mapped to four different destinations, albeit through some diving in the setup menu.

Had to find a quota from my own post from Prophet 12 alternatives thread: "1st September 2023
eighteenisnine: Might sound a bit odd but Digitone gives me a bit similar feeling as P12. But it is surely very dependant on what you are doing."

Yeah, i guess a large part of the elektron crowd is focused at a very different sound and genre. The VA part is on par with a lot of plugins, though it will fail a direct comparison with a thre-times-the price-real analog synth. But honestly, neither could the Prophet 12 (though it sounded a whole lot more impressive than say a Deepmind) And that is the beauty a lot of people end up appreciating. It is it's own thing, and the shortcomings and capabilities come together in a unique character instrument.

On DN2, keytracking, velocity, modwheel aftertouch and breath control all can be mapped to 4 destinations.
That's nice, but i quite often run into the 4-limit forcing me to compromise. Also, they have really nice complex lfo's but they can only reach one destination. That is really annoying.
