Aphex Twin going full digital in his latest release

Post by KBD_TRACKER » Tue Jun 14, 2016 8:05 pm

It's called "Cheetah", using mostly digital sound generation and processing (and it will be released also on cassette ....).

And since this is the VSE forum, I couldn't resist to include the manual for the Cheetah MS800 synth (1990s) ...

Ah the MS800.

That's up there for the most horrendous editing interface on an editable synth, *ever*...

I've been listening to this album (Cheetah) lately and it's absolutely wonderful, maybe not as Selected Ambients 85-92 or as the Richard D. James Album, but it's definitely very good.
Also, it is clear to me that I should pay more attention to the synthesizer modules that nobody cares about.
The Cheetah is amazing, ... in his hands of course.

In electronic music, sequencers are as important as synths.

I´d like to hear RDJ doing anything remotely musical with a Kawai Spectra. Better not. The thing sounds terrible :D
