Re: Which Synth Survives the Flames! Round 1

Well, Novachord and Mini have to go first, having the most wood. They'll provide the most heat. Fairlight and CS-80 are huge, but all that plastic and metal...

Re: Best synth basslines of all time?

"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin---Please don't shoot me. I believe it was a DX7, but that bassline (AutoCorrect, leave me alone, I don't mean baseline!) was so sweet that it didn't really matter what 'board played it. I second this. Even if the song is a cliche now, it's still a great bassline. I'l...

Re: Destroy your Synth-Pop idols

I know what opinions are like, etc etc, but for my two cents, it seems strange to leave out Gary Numan...I would like to see him trounce the bunch with his four Minis and larger than life technoglam persona...

Re: Game - Synth Death(light-a-)match - Nominations

As I'll be destroying the other thread, I'll add my two cents: The ELKA EK-22 that I just sold! So much potential and so little delivery. Son of Synthex?! Bastard nephew, maybe. Matrix 6? There's a mod matrix, but you can't polish a turd. Thinnest PWM ever. Cheap, heavy, plastic and prone to blowing...

Re: which synth should be set on fire?

Due to politeness, I will be closing this poll early and deferring to Desmond, whose idea this was originally. It's a bit different from this idea, and it looks to be fun. Sorry to step on anyone's toes.

I'll leave this thread open till the end of the day then delete it.

C'est la vie...

which synth should be set on fire?

Mainly out of boredom and to amuse myself, I set this poll before you. If you don't like it, you should have beat me to it. S...

Re: Synthesist Deathmatch Final

Speechless. Rest in peace. I just wanted Vangelis to win because I've always loved the Chariots and Bladerunner soundtracks, other material notwithstanding. I am an unashamed fan of the Chariots themes even if they've become a cliche. It's a cultural touchstone...JMJ is just spacey cheese compared t...

Re: Synthesist Deathmatch Final

I'm with the majority on this one. Vangelis is a titan.

What would be cool right now would be to see Hans Zimmer enter the fight and watch the epic soundtrack battle that ensues.


Also, poor Vince.

Re: Synthesist Deathmatch round 3

To all you thinking about voting Clarke out: listen through "Speak and Spell" before casting your vote. Thanks. I'm with you on that. What a classic. One of my favorite records. Still can't believe they killed off Carlos...here's a little minimal wave tribute from the same year as Speak & Spell... ...

Old farts.

I like a lot of 80s and modern electronic music. I'm not an old fart (not yet...I haven't started liking prog rock)...but I really don't like DeadMauFive. What an artless waste of all that expensive gear. Snoozefest.

Re: Anyone here burned out on modern analog?

I can't say I am. I'm currently enjoying the h**l out of my .com system, MS20, Microbrute and Monotron. Seriously. The Monotron is a wonderful wonderful thing. I used my DUO so much that the output died, and I realized I am feeling lost without that filter. Now I have to learn me how to make some s...
