Jeebus Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Just as we have the famous rhodes, wurlies, moogs, tr808s, etc.... do you think it is possible for any software sequencers, synth, sampler, or effect to become "vintage gear." Gear that we will cherish as collectors items, like the above mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

special ed Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 i dont see how, as analog gear is vintage classics for what it is, software is really just trying to emulate the classics or its trying to get more powerful or faster. would logic v6 really mean anything ten years from now when its logic v20? i could be wrong but i really dont see something like reaktor ever being vintage like a prophet unless computers were completely obsolete in the future.

Philip OKeefe Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I generally agree with special ed... but OTOH, who would have thought that old 8 and 12 bit samplers would have any appeal to anyone after the 16 and 24 bit stuff hit the market... but there is a demand for them in some circles. But seriously, I don't see the current emulations, as good as some of them are, becoming highly sought "vintage" items. Maybe in the future with the release of new softsynth designs... who knows?

aliengroover Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 There are still a ton of people in some circles who still swear by their old Atari STs and apps. Older hardware is known for the sound associated with them, and usually not much more. The sound of software relies on other devices, so thus I don't feel it will ever attain similar cult. Nonetheless, there are still people who will swear by those older apps. Peace If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking 'til you do suck seed!

doc taz Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Depends. The old games and computer emulations are pretty cool. I'm sure, over time, some of the software synths might find a new audience. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo. Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I remember Master Tracks Pro being pretty cool back in the day....waaaay back...Commodore 64 era, but hell, that was just the beginning. Sometimes I wish I still had that sequencer, what's really changed besides compatibility and routing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Lozada Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I do still have my installation 3.5" floppy disks of my old and loved Voyetra's Sequencer Plus Gold. I can do a hell lot more today with REASON, just as an example and my Mac, but hey, it was so pretty damn cool, powerful and fast back then! Vintage... Kyma anyone?

Philip OKeefe Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I've never found a MIDI sequencer that I liked as much as the old C-Lab / Emagic Notator. Running on a Mega ST/e, that was a cool little MIDI rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenElevenShadows Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Maybe if there is software that did something better than anything does now, that would someday be considered vintage. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean there aren't any!!

F7sound - Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I miss Turbosynth. Digi halted that one back in '96 I think. It was great for what it was. Love to see it run on my current machines - but no dice. Michael Oster F7 Sound and Vision ReGurgiTron - when you see him, you\'ll know.

DC Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I really really dug Dr. T on the Atari for sequencing. My ST died so I miss it for the Dr. T. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Factory, Bars and Pipes, Alchemy, Vision...I would use all of these if emulation extended to MIDI interfaces...sigh. "For instance" is not proof.
