On this thread, we like synthesisers.

Except it's so obviously not the original audio track.

I come on, people. Seriously?

:facepalm:
 
Ah, it’s CAN. Knew I’d seen it before

Ah, it’s not CAN. Swear I saw it labelled as them somewhere. Must be CAN’T then :p

Its the original as far as I know.

Because of the much longer version of that gig which is on the official WDR Rockpalast youtube channel:



Its quite the gig. I quite like it, in the same way I like their first album or two which are lesser known and not like what came later.

Been messing with Koala Sampler. It's fucking great! Five quid!

Standalone it's ace but I did get it as it will directly integrate with my Digitakt via USB to do some stuff with samples it can do better/easier.

£5!!!!

(I did also purchase the Samurai edition for time stretch, eq and stem splitting for 4 quid)




It is a piece of piss to use.

Has decent midi sync and controller mapping too

Dunno if this might be of interest?!
No frills but does the job.

I only recently found out what this sound is
 
Here's a weird notion

I use the term VST but I really mean musical instrusment since that's what vst's are for me. I don't own and down't have any interest in owning hardware synths. YMMV of course. This isn't about the quality or integrity thereof or the accuracy of vst emulations. I don't care about any of that.

With that said I find myself having some odd attitudes. On one hand I prefer to use actual emulations, such as Repro or some Arturia stuff. THis is because I like working within the parameters of those synths, their limits, and because of their iconic sounds. Repro 5 sounds great, as does the Arturia CZ.

On the other hand I've used a few of the 'jack of all trades' synths, such as Pigments, or Diva, and I own Zebra. These plug ins are amazing and can create a lot of great sounds. But they lack those limits (which means analysis paralysis and sometimes steep learning curves - i don't really understand the oscillator choices in zebra).

So I am kinda torn. It seems a bit facile to use emulations on the basis that "hey i'm using the iconic DX7, or Proiphet 5, or whatever", but I actually quite like that. I think it adds character to my music, and, on a weird creative level, it inspires me.

But I also like the sound design options of something like Zebra. I used to own pigments which i think is a fantastic piece of software, it's so easy to use. (My only, and personal, issue with it was that it just sounded rather thin, so I transferred the license).

Not really sure if there are any answers to this. Maybe it's just me and my creative idiosyncrasies.
 
Superbooth right now.
I like looking at gear. I find it interesting.

I think this is a really nice idea. It seems incredibly expressive
 
It was a pre-order. It hasn't arrived yet. Not heard anything from them.
Has that still not come out yet? Blimey.
Like the new Omnichord synth. . . . Except that when the pre order price of that was revealed I doubt very many people slapped their money on the table. I think a lot of people thought it would be a budget item like the original, and wipe out the crazy prices the vintage market has been seeing . . . . But no, its even more unaffordable!



Suzuki Omnichord OM-108

Almost £800 for a bouncy keyboard.

Little jam on my favourite homemade wavestate patch.

Dunno why I bought the wavestate, it's great for programming complicated patterns and modulations but I mostly just like finding a nice sound and playing tunes with it. With a bit of tinkering though you can get some lovely organic-sounding things out of it.
