jay da cop Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I personally LOVE the sounds from a nice modular (I am thinking Emerson or Erik Norlander's Wall of Doom here) and I happen to love Oberheims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorayM Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I get a bit bored with the massive modular lead sounds. All brash and no expression. Compare some of Keith's lead sounds to Derek's Monster Lead for example. Massive Oberheim OB fan and love Roland pads from JV-1080/JD-990 era though. Very partial to Jarre-style string machines and Radiophonic VCS3 stuff too. North Haverbrook - Godsticks - SoundCloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorSilver Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yes, it's about the player/operator more than the specific keyboard for me too. I bet even a Meowsic would sound great in the hands of someone like Greg Phillinganes At a K C Mid-Atlantic Hang a few years back, SK brought a tiny little plastic synth in a paper bag and blew away all the rest of our big rigs with expensivo gear. Just ask anyone who was there! After watching Eric Byrd conduct a master class on a beat-up Roland keyboard (highest 2 octaves completely non-functional), I believe it!

CEB Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I still like my D-50 a lot. Everyone I have ever seen play a SY-99 sounded great. Chester used the heck out of one in Santana. But gear is overrated. Goldy did the first Steppenwolf record on a Leslie that sounded like a broken washing machine and made history with it.

16251 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think anything from Black Market. His use of filters and LFO is so great.

JeffLearman Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I still like how Joe Zawinul got such great organic sounds from his synths. I agree. Even often using such simple methods as a subtle pitch envelope so it sounded less "autotuned". I still remember my disappointment when I got my first synth that I though should be able to make Z-like sounds (SCI 6-trak in unison mode) only to find that the smallest step in pitch modulation was WAY too much (with a mild pitch envelope, you'd hear the steps). Arrgh. But for an example of the simple organic elegance of Zawinul's playing, I'd pick another tune from the same album: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RKsaRt3PCw Solo at 4:40, but it would be a shame to fast-forward through it all.

jimkost2002 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Agreed, Joe on Black Market To me -that was the apex of his synth work (next to Mr Gone) As well as the apex of the band--Chester and Al were the ultimate groove rhythm section--- I'm Surprised there's been no mention yet of Jan Hammer circa 1972--77 Imo the most inspired Synthesist (till he went of the deep end) along with George Duke "I have constantly tried to deliver only products which withstand the closest scrutiny � products which prove themselves superior in every respect.� Robert Bosch, 1919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. J. Love Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'm with the basic crowd too: Rhodes, Piano, Hammond, Wurli. I love Joe's synths on anything, Stevie or George Duke on clav. And like Learjeff, I've never understood the love for the Mellotron.

Brettymike Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Well, listen to a good musician getting his teeth into this one properly - it's stunningly Beautiful IMO. And I can't see (or hear) that those new digital offerings are even a patch on it. > Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
