great watch about the Emulator 1 & 2


VST exists

And the Arturia version of it supports MPE so I can play it expressively from the Osmose. Something I intend to start doing soon.

I love that. Made me lol.

I am currently arranging my first ever tune. I tend to do this with anything I learn. I feel paralysed into learning more rather than actually doing something with the learning until I feel like it would be completely ridiculous to learn another thing. Anyway, I am arranging and each clip just starts. I have looked at Fade In and it doesn't seem to make sense. I have even slept on it. So, what's the Ableton way, good peeps?

Kontakt 7 is probably the most advanced sampler by todays standards, but It's interesting what could be achieved decades ago.

its the crunchy distortion that gets added to an emulator that makes it so appealing i think
im going to check out the vst and see if it has that same sound - i think they tried to recreate it faithfully

I've started messing about with commercial samples. Something I did as a kid when i briefly had a casio thing with a two second sample thing you could have your cat meow into for laughs. I didn't do very much with it, but I always enjoyed taking little sound bites and playing funny rythms. Now i have a bit more gear to work with. So I started this. Bonus points if you can guess the sources (not everything is a sample, the drums and the bassline aren't).

I think I took ‘commercial samples’ to mean ‘from adverts’ haha pretty enjoyable, seemed to move through the decades somehow whilst maintaining the same theme.

Does anyone know what Bandcamp's policy is on artists using uncleared samples? I'm going to assume they don't like it and will boot you off if you get caught?

i dont know but almost certainly they wont know about it unless the copyright holder complains
theres endless dance tunes with unclerared samples on bandcamp

Sure, and as a nobody artist chances are you'd be fine. But losing bandcamp would not be worth it

Two strikes and you’re out it seems.

Got given this yesterday!

A bit grubby but works.
Some really useable sounds. Quite surprising.

Sounds good. Is there a software version? I have little room for hardware nowadays.

 

[danski]

Gah. I wanted to upload a snippet of something I've been fiddling with but it doesn't seem possible.

It's quite small

 

[Magnus McGinty]

It's quite small

I know. But I’d need a different sound card and more wires to pipe it into Ableton and I can’t be arsed. I’m pleased it’s no longer the nineties.

 

[danski]

Too true

Here's a link to a soundesign tutorial for the JUNO synths. As well as giving me a grounding in those pathways. it made me think of your immense studio, klang.

Also, what headphones are you all using? I was going to say Cans but then I remembered that I haven't earned that usage, yet. If you don't bother with 'phones then what monitors are you using? Although I think that the old headphone mix is essential, these days? I have a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT 100s, with a crushed velvet cup on them because fuck that sweaty plastic.

I use Audio Technica M50x. They’re as good or better than cans that cost twice the price. No point using monitors to mix with if you’re in a square room. You won’t get an accurate representation of what’s happening.

No, I looked for a software version for a while. It's a fairly new synth so no direct clones, but I'm sure you could mock something up in VCV Rack with some dedication.

It's has a pretty unique circuitry, I think. Monophonic, with 8 digital oscillators, through twin analogue filters, with a real spring reverb and an extra percussive oscillator. I'd be surprised if there's ever a 1-2-1 recreation made, unless you DIY.

fwiw - I really don't like headphones. They make me feel dizzy and too detached from the world. I never listen to music on the go. So - I don't mix on them, I only use them for tracking.
