That is the one thing that keeps me from buying most any other CV keyboard; if the '14 does this I will be even more tempted.

I haven't used the CV out yet. I'll check it out when I get a chance and report back.

one thing to consider with the CV out... there's only an option for one octave up. i found this to be a pain in the ass so im still using my analog keys as my midi CV controller.

regarding pitch bend... i *think* yes.. not sure about vibrato. i can probably check friday if DiscoD hasnt tried it by then already.

Vibrato is not transmitted on CV.

Resurrecting this thread just for a brief comment: Pulled the trigger on both a Minimoog D reissue and a Subsequent 37, and have been doing A-B-C comparisons against the Vermona 14. Three fantastic mono’s, in my opinion, bested only by the Mighty Cwejman S1Mkll. I had a specific focus on the filter overdrive, with its consequent growl, and what a high Q did to the low end. What I can tell is that, to my ears, comparing the Vermona and Sub, both with max volume dialed on the mixers and with Q about 70%, but NO overdrive added to the Sub, the Vermin growls richer, with a juicier distortion. Of course, add overdrive to the Sub, then it’s a different story. As for the D, it holds up pretty damn well against the two young ‘uns, except the distortion is not as strident; it’s warmer and the EG has a smoother slope than the other 2. Now, crank up the external in volume knob (it’s hardwired to mix in the main output) and then shit gets weird and loud in a pinch. Three jewels, very different....and yet so similar. Absolute keepers....

14' and Cwejman S1 are 2 of my main mono synths. Korg 770 is still my favorite though.

Are Cwejwin still a going concern?

They are very much alive and well. They just did another run of the S1 and have a new, smaller version along with the usual eurorack offerings.

Hey! I am gonna need your help.
How would one sequence the Vermona 14 by the Qu-Bit Bloom, Vermona Melodicer or Make Noise 0-Ctrl?
What would be the minimal setup to achieve this (inside a 4ms Pod)?
What do you use to sequence it?

I ponied up the then $3000CAN for a '14
and I think Vermona hit the ball out of the park with this one.

Between the Vermona 14 and my 2 Dreadbox Abyss +a perFOURmer, I think I have all my 70s vibe covered!

Very happy with the '14 and the cost has long since been amortized over time.

At at the end of the day, I'd much rather have a synth that's lean on features but rich in sound quality. Listen to modular and boutique products from MosLab, AJH, MacBeth etc. Why can't modern day all-in-one (with keyboard, memory) analog synths sound like that? Voyager, Sub 37, Pro 2, Prophet 6 etc. - none sound as good as their 70s counterparts. If Vermona 14 can accomplish that elusive 70s quality, IF, then I'm fine with the price vs. features.

Hi there!
I managed to buy #210 just 2 weeks ago.
I love it and am very happy with it being my only synth.
Got a Maschine+ next to it and will add RYK M185 sequencer as it does output Midi notes and accepts Midi clock as far as i know (right?).
Now that I need a small case anyway I was thinking of adding a sound source for the External Audio In as well.
What would you suggest? Should I add a full voice module or an oscillator only? Or Strega?

chvad · Post by **chvad** » Thu Jul 08, 2021 9:22 am

i think you should take one of the outputs and feed it right back into the external input!

Hi

Yes the M185 accepts MIDI Clock, Reset, Start, & Stop commands.

#210 so only a dozen left to be sold.
Hopefully this can happen this year!

I am fairly confident all 222 of the '14 are sold.
I went on the net and pretended I wanted one and went to at least 12 webpages.
Either "Out of Stock" or "No longer available"

I have had mine for over 4 years, and it is one of my leading monos.
Can not describe what it sounds like. It is a feeling realy!

I actually emailed Vermona the other day to see if they were sold out or not. The response I received was that they were out for now, but a few units might become available in a few months. I asked them to put me on an email list if they had one, and they said they would.

zaphod betamax · Post by **zaphod betamax** » Tue Jan 11, 2022 7:21 pm

One reason I did not get two instead of one is that I asked Thomas if you could change the
note priority which is fixed to last.
He wondered why I would ask for this.
I said if you could change one to high note and the other low, you would make
an amazing duophonic synth.

Korg MS-20Kit is controller for Behringer K-2.

Ms-20Kit has identical patch to K-2 but VC01 is tuned up an octave.

Each are panned to opposite channels in stereo. These sound first.

Followed by Vermona '14, panned center (mono)
