Knobs, but sliders for envelopes: looking at the slider positions tells you exactly what shape the envelope is.

Thanks! I didn't use any drum layering on that, incidentally...

To reiterate, I've no interest in arguing about it.

Ned - sorry about this! I hope you get your drums sorted.

Also sidechaining is really good but isn't really a layering technique. I've always seen it as more of a stylistic decision. [ ... ] Re-read my post; you'll find it's both. But let us not digress into pedantry. Ned - typically, it's the kick drum and bass-line that compete for frequencies. Therefor...

There's two things we've forgotten, Ned: 1) Side-chaining compression This can be tricky to understand/master, but it's a good technic to use, especially with beat-heavy music. Basically, if you put the kick drum on a seperate track, you feed into the side chain input for the compressor on the bass ...

Not interested - she's probably dyed-blonde, over 50, and single.

Good stuff! Thoroughly enjoyed that.

And it's always encouraging to see another fellow synthesist who also sports a fine beard.

I actually specifically want to avoid using reverb for pads. i feel that a good pad should sound good on it's own without reverb. I really don't like the sound of reverb; it makes everything sound like it's locked inside of a huge factory. I like my reverbs sounding close and full, not cold and dis...

My MS20 doesn't do this either - it's in tune and ready to use as soon as it's on.

This thread is still going??

Every time I see a guy with a Moog Modular, I remind myself of my devastatingly good looks, undefeatable charm, unremitting modesty and incredibly large p***s. It's all about the context.

But... they are suuuuuper handy... they do ALL things midi related me thinks. I used it for all kinds o stuff before... nowadays its pretty much hardwired to the matrix. Ps.. you can also pull this off with a bcr2000. Ah-ha. BCR2000s costs beans too, so that might be worth a look. Actually, I have ...

There are a few parameters that would lag when you change them (note would hold until the matrix catches up, it happens a couple times in the video, which I make obvious by pointing...) eg depth, lfo depth were the worst of them... but I've since repaired that behavior by setting a larger send buff...

Mmmm, lovely. I only sold mine because I couldn't be arsed with all that button-pushing and don't like software editors. Sounded great, but I get more use out of less flexible things with better interfaces. Don't be making me want another one... (pointy finger). :D Apologies, Herr Scribe. I haven't...

The Matrix is a bit duller-sounding than the DSI stuff. But a little EQ goes a long way. The words you're looking for are warm and buttery . ;) The Matrix 6 is an excellent pad machine, when used with a touch of reverb and a smidgen of chorus: http://www.clubbedtodeath.net/download.php?ars.mp3 Bras...

The Ipad has a 1GHz processor and a generous amount of RAM. It can run heavy sequencers, samplers, guitar amps and synths, so why not a Motif or XG sound engine? Korg has already released an Electribe for Ipad. And it run faster than the original one. What would be the issue with a QY100? Or a Moti...
