Re: Goodbye DSI Mono Evolver

2 analog oscillators are plenty, but add 2 digital osc's and you've got alot of options. Doesn't hurt that it actually sounds great, too. Totally agree. Also, those digital oscillators are routed through analogue filters: I remember thinking the Desktop Evolver had a much more raw sound than the VA...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2GSyQBdeEQ#t=1m05s I'd never heard anything that sounded like this being used in electronic music before it appeared here. Stroke of f**k genius if you ask me. Excellent production and synthesis skills to be sure, but my mind screams: car advert . Vorsprung durch tec...

Re: Incoming Knobby Blofeld (sort of)?

Waldorf's mod matrix is as easy as it can be. It's very well laid out compared to its power. Seconded. I particularly like how envelopes are shown on the screen as you modify them. Btw, if menu-diving isn't your thing, there's an excellent Blofeld VST, which gives you access to all the parameters o...

Re: What's the must realistic Subtractive/VA VST synth you k

Not quite -

A dash of Clockwork Orange, mixed in with a smidgen of Blake's 7, and a brace of countless other Seventies' BBC space operas. And the smallest hint of Grieg.

Re: What's the must realistic Subtractive/VA VST synth you k

I'll stick my neck out here and say I've got some fantastic sounds out of Applied Acoustic Systems' Ultra Analog VA-1. Particularly buttery Oberheim-ish brass pads, and some very usable stringer patches. Viz:

Re: iPhone-only tune

lovely track. 8-) i like how you didn't create it to sound really really like analog, because it isn't. which is cool--analog isn't over-rated, but digital is surely underutilized in electronic music these days. Thanks for the compliment! There's a bit of antialiasing on the synths in Nanostudio, s...

iPhone-only tune

Hi all, In the interests of doing something with the minimum of equipment, I decided to write a tune using nothing but my iPhone with Nanostudio . It was an interesting experience - virtual keys 1/2 cm wide are a challenge! Still, I'm shocked what can be done with something that is essentially just ...

Re: real synth destroy (alesis vs korg?)

Definitely a Casio home keyboard.

Nice track, although they are guilty of inadvertently misappropriating Visage's Fade to Grey in the chorus:



(Although I did the same thing once, so it's perfectly acceptable. :D)

Re: Hartmann Neuron VS under windows 7

whats the best way to integrate a standalone pc into a midi enviroment? wont you get problems with latency? or do try and sync your daw/vst host to the external midi clock? I have an old Core 2 PC running Windows XP, which acts as a host for my Yamaha SW1000XG card. It has no monitor, no keyboard a...

Jesus, are you telling me I might be able to buy a Casio synth that doesn't need the batteries changed every 2 months?
