Thanks for the comments. I agree about the clarity, I tried to improve it and it got worse! Still with experience it should improve.

A few posts in on that blog there are some Wiard samples that I did when I first got the system together.

I have just completed a short experimental piece “I had lost my friend (No way out)”. I was trying out Native Instrument’s Vokator vocoder and the Wiard modular. I decided to combine the exploration by switching the vocoder into classic mode and using the Wiard as the carrier. So everything here is ...

I have a CSQ100, I bought it in 1981 I think. I also have the SH2, my first synth. CSQ100 is a bit more basic but I did use a CSQ600 for a recording session in 82. One thing, and I can't quite remember how I did it..but in addition to a sequencer you can use it as a kind of quantiser. I think I did ...

Unless you find a sample set. I'm not sure I've seen one. I have a few for the fairlight and EmuII I got for free from Hollow Sun. They might have expanded that in their now pay for sample sets.

Another vote for Synclavier. I think Bartos complained that they got one and it was so expensive they had to keep using it to justify the expense (that's what he said anyway). I thought it was littered with samples, in fact almost all samples and I personally found it a disappointing album after Com...

If you go to the effects forum you can probably ask, Betabugs used to be there alot.

I guess you get your inspiration from the sound. I get mine from the sound and the programming, so it's probably not for me.

I started with a cracked version of Pro24 on an Atari, quickly moving to Cubeat. I was amazed when I returned music about 15 years later that although steinberg hadn't got my registration card for the new Cubase SX I bought, they still had me on the database from that Cubeat installation. I used Cub...

The two people that got me into synths, Tim Blake (Gong, Hawkwind and solo) and Richard Pinhas (Heldon), particularly on the album East/West with the Moog 55, PPG modular (I think) and lots of other stuff.

I still have my Roland CSQ 100 from the early 80s. Haven't used it in ages but I think I can use it as a complex envelope generator..I think.

I also have a new Wiard sequantizer which I've only just started to use.

Bitexion, is the Waveterm manual on the "Paul Maddox CD" by any chance?

But if you buy from the US, even if it is 2nd hand don't you have to pay the VAT and other custom's charges?

I am in the UK and for several weeks one of our major ISPs seemed not to find MySpace at all. I heard from some others on the same ISP they had the same issue.

Good to see it was sorted, they are generally very responsive and positive.

But she might be in the market for a toy boy?
