yeah. you could sneak in Aphex Twin SAW or 'analogue bubblebath', for example, and hardly notice a difference to some of it. the tr-606, maybe a few more minor-key allusions?

silly genre labels in the end

Is it New Age, though? according to wikipedia it seems you just have to be able to yoga-cise to it for it to be new age attach some thematically related astrological Age of Aquarius significance and apparently you're in they even throw Vangelis in there, right on the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia....

my pleasure, clubbed

Hedges' 'Taproot' is a great one to start with - although his work is generally excellent regardless of which you care to venture into it with

edit: wasnt new age just bubble gum 'new wave?' and wasnt new wave just bubblegum punk? and wasnt punk just bubblegum iggy pop? :mrgreen: new age suffered a similar tarring as jazz fusion in the beginning it was more like the precursor to chillout but tailored to listeners of prog - Mike Oldfield a...

regarding the filters.....can someone explain the difference between the moog-style 'ladder' LPF and the acid-style transistor LPF? :?: The most I know is that the ladder filter is an older design and the other is similar to a 303 obviously. the main difference is that the 303 filter is built from ...

it depends. some tracks originate from mostly or 100% live tracking of majority parts, so drum machine or modular(the modcan touch sequencer or flame clockwork module) often serves as the master clock. currently, and almost by default, the 999 start button runs everything as master - if only because...

The kid who works in the electronics department at Best Buy told me his uncle is the janitor for Korg's US distributor and he told him some guy at the factory stole all the yellow patch cables and is selling them on the black market. Unless Korg can source more yellow patch cables the MS-20 Mini wi...

the voyager is a very nice synth. like say, an SL Benz is a very nice vehicle. i had an oldschool for a couple years and played it a lot. i like it quite a bit, really - it's still one of the best of the new lead and bass synths around. but i'm also a guy willing to take on upkeep of a 2600 and solu...

i don't care who, just somebody make something that alleviates masses of cables and power strips everywhere. between power, MIDI, audio, USB and patch cables (XLR, 1/4",3.5mm, nanner) it's the highest hurdle of all hardware headaches. So - a new standard for signal transmission between machines. it'...

2nd the rumour reco. it's a $1000+ level unit, easy. i prefer it to mid-level TC or eventide on acoustic sources, particularly. Sure, a nicer Lex will sound a bit sweeter, but the rumour hangs in there - it's eminently mixable in lots of apps. i'd only go with a pedal such as strymon or space if you...

the whole thing sounds pretty weak, actually - except for the kick
some of that is the rather tepid recording and programming, too

i'm hoping that the hacks, stutter and PCM tuning+motion-record will make it useful for anything beyond goof-a-long jams

I think if someone stuck U-He's Diva in a Minimoog case and didn't tell anyone, only a few people woul be able to tell. tell what? "hmmm i suspect somebody switched my analog for a VA, how dastardly" ??? sound comparisons/ c**p ears &/or monitors aside, it would be pretty obvious to anyone trying t...

god i hope this thing plays/sounds as good as it looks! i know ken macbeth can do it, but outside of him it's pretty dicey when it comes to small companies performinging the necessary development to get the kind of refinement that the old Rolands and Moogs and ARPs have. in the realm of bitchin'ly s...

pretty much any musical aesthetic that has not realized we are no longer living in the 20th century, sung with a southern accent = country (i jest) i remember some Flying Burrito Bros. might have, maybe The Band? ... but then it's a been a LONG time other than this, well, selection is awfully , uh.....

yep - pulsewaves rule synthness. their sublimity and utility know no bounds.
