On this thread, we like synthesisers.

Nice.

How about some jams?

I'll do something just for fun when I have time it's gonna be weird though...

Have a single off our new album coming out on Moshi Moshi on Monday. A lot of those keys are featured on the single / album.

There's a MK3 Synare for sale on eBay atm. Looks like it was thrown in an industrial dryer with half a ton of cobble stones for an hour or so. Still works, apparently. That's $400. Or there's a good condition MK3 for $3,400.

The synare is fun and everything, but tbh it rarely comes out. I wouldn't spend $400 on a battered one.

Having said that, the trigger function is very useful / funny for fattening snares / toms etc.

What would you say were the meat and potatoes of your studio gear, as far as just sitting down and getting an initial idea out? Synths or whatever.

very much depends on the style of music tbh. If it's song based it will def evolve round the piano and guitar. For groove based electro stuff I love the 808 - pro1 - juno 6 combo. I link them up: 808 for the beat, pro1 for the bass line and juno for arps / melody. It's dead easy for me to dial something in that way and to work on chord progressions. But it depends so much on the style and my mood and whatever is required.

I haven't been writing that much recently tbh. I used to work in film soundtracks and wrote constantly. At the moment I'm more into production. Taking somebody's ideas apart and shaping them into something. Working on sounds and structures. I get a lot of satisfaction out of it.
And mixing. I do a lot of mixing and I love it.

can I upload audio files here without having to go through soundcloud etc?

 

[killer b]

I dont think so - I think you could upload it to a Google drive and it would work though

Thank god. A reprieve. You tha man littleseb

 

[klang]

B uploaded them for me...

It's a jam we did a little while ago, so today , inspired by this thread, I dug them out and tidied them up and mixed them.

It's a trypticon, it has three parts to it.

 

[killer b]

I think because it's a private playlist the board software borks the link because it's trying to embed it: follow this link for Seb's Modular Jamz

 

[klang]

thanks b!!
