I've only had a chance to skim the review, but it got a 4 out of 5 in Sound Quality. I believe EM gave Reaktor a 5 in the same category.

I'm glad he wrote that.

Let me clarify, I think a score of 4 for sound quality was too low. Creamware sounds much better than Reaktor (to my ears anyway). That's why it seems odd that Reaktor would score higher, although I do realize that the final score is up to the individual reviewer.

I do not even own a Noah but i will surtainly give it a high 5 in sound quallity

CW gear rules !!!

I'm with you Jngaelin! Maybe I'm a little biased, but CW gear definitely RULES!

How could someone give a synth like Reaktor a 5? What would that person do when faced with a real synth like a Minimoog, an Omega-8, or (need I say it?) a Noah? As Joxer said, these must've been two separate reviewers.

He rated the Alesis Ion a 4 in the same issue of EM but he seemed to have more fun with the Ion, at least that's the impression I got.

As a Noah owner, I was expecting more from the review. They didn't even mention the vocoder or filter modules, nor the six-string or prodyssey modules.

When the monophonic Moog Voyager came out, they raved about its sound quality. (I think the Noah is the sonic equal of the Voyager.) The Roland VariOS, which can only run 2 or 3 applications, also got a 5/5 in EM, and a "product of the year" citation. Noah has much more apps to choose from.

At the very least, their rating standards certainly aren't consistent.

Maybe the Reaktor review was being compared to other software synths - not hardware? But even then, I would still hesitate to give it a 5.

I would give Creamware a 5 without hesitation. This just points out how useless reviews can be sometimes.

indeed!
Tfiala, you are a species which planetz was hunting for: you're a NOAH owner...
Is there another one seen already?

At least one person bought it.

What's wrong with you people; go get'n'buy NOAHs

I am also a noah-owner, i guess sapce-f mehdi too.

Hi,
I don't have a noah, but a bunch of friends do. Especially one I haven't seen for while because he was finsihing his LP, wich should be out soon (psy-trance on neurobiotic records). I know some of his tracks are 100% Noah, when the nord lead power supply died. I'll tell you when it's out. I have some other friends who also release an LP soon on neurobiotic, and they don't use any cw gear. So you'll be able to buy both (buy=for not mp3) and judge the synth sound quality (well, the ones without noah had a much more experienced remixer/engineer, so it may not be a fair comparison).
see you

It's amazing what a good engineer in a nice (hardware based) studio can do. I have a Nord Lead also. I'm glad I turn it off when not in use. I'm surprized it died. They seem like they could last forever.

If I go to a studio I'll probably just dump my tracks to CDs and load the wave files into protools. I'm guessing the sync would be nearly perfect. Does anyone know about this?
