Odyssian Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Originally posted by Dan South: Originally posted by Odyssian: Ooo, I love these questions! My picks would be: 1. Any well-equipped hardware modular synth (four foot tall or better, please. ) 2. Moog Memorymoog 3. A rompler/workstation thingy with ha-uge amounts of polyphony. Runner-up would be a Microwave XT 30 voice.You make it sound like a personal ad. Would that memorymoog be "non-smoking?" Heheh! Yeah, I just can't stand it when they smoke, ya know. I do love it when they warm up for me though, and we're in tune.... and in unison! (oops, sorry! that was R rated!) LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I reject the limiting of choice to individual software applications. My PC functions as a synth in my studio, albeit the best sounding, most versatile synth I've ever owned. Like a workstation synth it has MIDI I/O, audio outs, storage, RAM, LCD display, etc. Soft synths are more a kin to workstation plugin boards. If it makes you feel better, think of it as an Openlabs eKo without the keyboard. So my choices would be: 1) PC with Cubase/V-stack with all the NI, Spectrasonic, Giga and Steinberg/Wizoo software. Everything else is icing on the cake. 2) Yamaha VL-1 3) Hammond B3 with Leslie (you could spend a lifetime learning how to play this thing RIGHT). I'm afraid a sawtooth/square/tri analog would bore me to tears in no time. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S_Gould Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Originally posted by S_Gould: Rhodes Chroma ARP 2600Interesting choce, Scott. I've always been under the impression that a Chroma was kinda like having eight 2600s...I never had a 2600, though, so I can't say for sure how close they sounded. Nice call on the Kyma system, BTW... dBWell, it's been 20 years since I've played either one, so I don't really recall exactly how similar they sounded (I think I burned through those brain cells at a Dead show back in '84) but I do remember really liking both of them. However, Alesis promises me that my Andromeda (which I payed them for in June) has indeed shipped and I should see it any day now - so my 3 best list may need adjustment in the near future.

Markyboard Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Picking a third would be hard...I'm enjoying the FS1R alot, I also found a VL-1 new in the box at the office...toys, toys toys. I was going to pick the FS1R over a Z1 - I need to be stranded on a desert to have the time to really get into all its capabilities. But then I thought - do I get to bring a PC/Mac with Sounddiver ?

RABid Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I would take a loaded Roland Fantom S 88, topped with a Korg Triton Studio 76, and an Emu XL-7 on the side. Sure, nothing outstanding here and lots of things may be considered better. Especially better than the E-mu, but with this collection I could get a lot done and cover most any sound. Sequencing would be very easy. Robert This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeon Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Can we change our answers? I think I need a little more timbral variation, even at the expense of some others and some fun...

Dave Bryce Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Originally posted by zeronyne: Waldorf WaveY'know, from what I understand, the Wave is actually a lot cooler looking than it really is...I hear ithat they never really got the bugs out of it - I've been told that the Waldorf guys tend to recommend that if you wanna play with wavetables you should get a Microwave XT... I don't even think they make the Wave any more. It is a badass looking mofo though, ain't it? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kind of three-tooth rake. Now hold this shape and hit the keys. Voilà: you play chords. Hey, that was easy to do, huh? My Music I always wondered what happened after the fade out?
