I get a SYB-5 yesterday. Will be in my mailbox within a week or so.
What could I say ? I do like the SYB-3 much, much more than SYB-5. With its analog sounds straight from the '70s Roland SH-series waveforms, to me the SYB-3 is a tiny-essential Roland synthesizer. I had the SYB-5 from 2004 (just when it came in my local shop) untill 2016 (when I had to sell it in order to buy something else). Desapointed by the sounds, but there are few very good things in the SYB-5 I really miss : the LFO is incredibly powerful and SYB-3 doesn't have LFO ; the Pulse 2 waveform can be used as an electronic voice ; the Wave Shape is different from the SYB-3 because it is more straight forward but not worst or better and that's interesting. So, OK, let's give it a try again, I need different sounds on board and I know the SYB-5 very well : more plastic and creaky than the analog-like SYB-3, but I'm involved in an Industrial Rock band wich I love, and I think those sounds can be great, mixing, for exemple, fat Saw from the SYB-3 and LFO madness from the SYB-5. I will also dig up my DD-7 that I tended to let in the drawer to add long sequencing waves or light reverb with the synthesizers sounds. And finaly I'm happy to have another synth with different colors.
I will post picts of my new pedalboard in a few days,
