Re: Arturia MiniBrute - analog monosynth

In the Arturia video they make a point of the LFO rate going from "very slow to the sub-audio range". Ooh, sub-audio. ;)

Seriously though, it would be good if the LFOs could go really fast but it looks like maybe they don't.

Re: Your Rig---but 20 Years Ago

Have to say I'm mighty impressed with b3groover's dad running twin G5 towers in 1982. 8-)

Re: AKAI Synthstation free on the Apple app store.

That'll teach you to check the forums more frequently.

I can't say how good or otherwise it is because iTunes has decided to stop recognising the presence of my iPod FFS.

Re: more Korg analog - Monotron Duo & Monotron Delay

Putting a filter on a send isn't quite the same as using it as an insert. Unless you use pre-fade sends with the channel faders right down you'll still be getting the unfiltered signal.

Re: What synth is used in the gold HQ scene in Blade Runner?

As an aside, I think the soundtrack for Costa Gavras' movie Missing was recorded around the same time and obviously on a very similar setup. It's nice enough, maybe not quite as cinematically inspired as Blade Runner.

Main theme:

Re: Recent popularity of TR-707?

Another cool video Harlem Nights, big up.

Here is a recent song espousing the qualities of the 707. And some other stuff, possibly. NSFW unless you are in Miami Vice.

Re: Favorite Drum Machine Beat/Pattern

Only about 50 seconds of this before something else mixed in but this a bad-ass 808 work out.

Re: Little synths and noise toys like BC8, monotribe.

Generally speaking - small, self-contained and immediate. For live improvisations and mangling. Don't necessarily have to be 'noisy', musical / nice is OK too. Quirky and weird is good. External control not a necessity, built-in sequencers are good. Obviously I'd like to find about stuff I haven't c...

But yes, not built-in on 2g and 3g, which I think is what Ruff was getting at.

Re: Waldorf Largo Happy Ending...

Nice. A touch of the Froeses about those sounds. ;) Waldorf rule, when the stuff works. How come you couldn't get Logic to record the Blofeld? Anyway, yes Largo looks like a great alternative - shame it doesn't have the PPG filter and I hear there a bit of problem with the arp sync? Would be nice to...
