FYI I'm sampling out my RS 7000 and one of the pad patches is called Autism. Everyone should have an RS 7000 just so they can try out Autism

There are subtle hints, but if I heard that recording without knowing, I'd be hard-pressed to tell that it was synthesized. What's the little one used for the trombone solo? Edit: On second listen, it's not so subtle. Still sounds fantastic though. Tan Dumplord fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Protip: the word "analogue" does not mean "generates sounds through non-digital means" but actually relates to the synthesizer's ability to create sounds that are strikingly simliar or the "analogue" to instruments they are trying to imitate

I don't know, it sounds amazing in it's own right and it's incredibly well played, but I can't help thinking that these kind of electronic bands are the main reason a lot of people still dislike synth music. I mean, I never really got the reason why you'd want synths to sound like 'real' instruments, when they can be so much more.

What interests me is the uncanny valley of synth sounds - think Yamaha VL-series, physical modeling DSP poo poo. It sounds like a regular instrument, and then bends into itself and does something; that's kick-rear end. (in the right hands, of course)

I mean, I never really got the reason why you'd want synths to sound like 'real' instruments, when they can be so much more. As much as I can appreciate the technical performance in that video, I would put it in the same class as like Mannheim Steamroller, who are quite talented musicians who make music which is as far from anything I would ever voluntarily listen to as I can imagine. But then there's the purely synthesized classical soundtrack that Wendy Carlos did for Clockwork Orange, which I could listen to all day- but then you've also got the "Hooked on Classics" stuff from the 70s and 80s and all of that was pure garbage. Thing is, I can't really put my finger on what makes the difference. And also this: Startyde posted:a lot of what's out there is awful jazz fusion with bad soprano sax patches. So there are plenty of examples of artists who used synthesizers to simulate "real" instruments or to play traditional music. And then you have Dawn of MIDI who almost do the opposite; they use traditional instruments to simulate computer music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOAb0qjYnAs Radiapathy fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Apr 9, 2014 |

The Arturia Beatsteps have come out already, has anyone had a chance to play with or use one yet? They're so well priced I kind of want one even though I don't need it.

It's Arturia tat. Wait a few months: there'll be a better alternatives on the way, and this one will be getting blown out at pennies on the pound. Much like those Korg nano-thingies (and now the Volcas: man that tide sure did swept past fast), their peak value point is reached on the second hand market.

So, I had put the whole "softsynths that sound like Virus hypersaw" thing to rest until late Saturday night, when I logged into my SoundCloud to find I had gotten like 1700 listens in that one day. Sunday the same thing. Turned out someone on Reddit had found my KVR thread and posted about it. My listens are back down to virtually nothing again, but I did add a few more synths to the playlist as a result, although I really am seriously done with this particular endeavor, fingers crossed: The playlist now includes 2 hardware synths and 10 softsynths: HW: Virus, Blofeld SW: Alchemy, Diva, DUNE, LuSH-101, Massive, MUX, Spire, Sylenth1, Z3TA+, Zebra2 I re-recorded the Diva example with a higher voice count (had to switch into muti-proc mode) and tried to get it closer to the Virus, but simply wasn't able to make it as bright/fizzy as the Virus. (It's a great synth! I just wasn't able to reproduce that specific sound using only one OSC and the voicing parameters.) https://soundcloud.com/ultimateoutsider/sets/supersaw-comparison Guys on Reddit really hated the Massive patch. I dunno what to say; I actually know Massive better than any of the other synths I used (other than the Virus itself) and I just couldn't get it any closer to the Virus sound than that.

Ugh okay okay I'm caving, I really want a TB-3 ;A; The only specific analog retro synth I'd ever really want is a 303 so it's perfect.

So the E-mu Morpheus sounds interesting. Is it $150 interesting though? How many Wavestations is it worth? Edit: I currently have 0 romplers, and this one caught my ear.
