ELP71 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 How about a KC compilation CD using: 1) Original composition or arrangement featuring only onboard, factory sounds. Your choice of synth(s). Patches would be listed in the linear notes. 2) Original composition or arrangement featuring only user programmed patches. Your choice of synth(s). Patch description/architecture would be listed in the linear notes. Or compilation featuring: 3) Yamaha DX-7 4) Clavinet Or centering around: 5) jazzed-up (or sythed-up, or styled-up) arias or themes from opera Any other cool ideas (without worrying about their implementation)? I have had absolutey nothing to do with the compilations so far in terms of contributions...but these struck me as some things that might be cool. Weasels ripped my flesh. Rzzzzzzz.

marino Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I started a thread last year to collect ideas for future comps. It generated tons of good ideas... I'll try to find it and bump it to the top, so we can keep all ideas under one roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primoz Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 You know what i 'd wanna hear. A Rhodes compilation . Everything from jazz-rock, rock, ... . Just think about it ... Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, The Doors, ... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDM Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Another idea would be to have a Softsynths versus Hardware compilation. I think that would be fun. But it might get messy. DJDM.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peake Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Being almost diehard anti-software, I was just about to propose an all-software compilation, thinking specifically of you DJDM. I'd like to hear what can happen when this stuff is put through its paces (there are softsynths that sound more like a vintage Moog Modular than modern hardware modulars, for example). Give me the ANALOG and no one gets HURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear what can happen when this stuff is put through its paces (there are softsynths that sound more like a vintage Moog Modular than modern hardware modulars, for example).I'm not anti-hardware myself but if you are interested in checking out what I have been able to do with just Softsynths alone you can go to my Weed music page now and take a peake (pun intended). No hardware what so ever (except my controllers) was hurt in the production of any of these tracks. I have played with the Moog Mod and it kicks it hard but I don't own it so I would not be able to come up with a good competition piece for something like this. I generally don't mess around with VSTs too much as they tend to be too hard on the CPU and really limit what you can do with an arrangement. I generally use tools like the ReasonBanks Pro.Ton refill for a vintage sound. It works exceedingly well at getting me vintage analog sounds in a compact manageable package.

marino Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I've bumped the old thread on the same subject, but since most people have posted in this one, here's the link anyway. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=007263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Maybe it's also a good idea to paste my original thoughts here: - A prog compilation. I think this is mandatory! Covers, but maybe originals as well. - A jazz standards CD. Obviously, with the freedom to arrange them in any way. Maybe even a whole Duke Ellington or Cole Porter comp..? - A comp dedicated to loop music - electronica, DB, trance, techno/dance, etc. - An 'ambient' comp. Rhythm allowed, but in a mild fashion. - A rock opera! I've loved this idea when it was first brought out. Of course, we would need a good *complete* libretto, before we start doing the music. - A comp based on classical music. Again, any type of arrangement allowed. - A 'pop songs' comp. All originals. It will show our composing/producing skills. - A fun one: A 'one synth' comp. Everything is done on one machine, maybe including effects. - A live comp. This is similar to what we're doing now, but recorded on stage. Dedicated to the performers among us. - More One-band or One-artist covers (For example, Doors, Stones, ELP, Yes, Weather Report, Mahavishnu, Radiohead, Bjork, Sting, Hendrix, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. etc.). - Maybe this is too crazy, but I would love to do a 'one-song' thing too, like, 15 versions of "Every breath you Take" or whatever. - A 'film themes' comp! (mm, love this one) Other ideas: Punk, synth-pop (I hate it, but what the hell), orchestral, free improv, drone music, ethnic flavors, etc. etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about taking this one step further. Many of us own mono-synths and it was always fun for me to build polyphony one track at a time. How 'bout a "mono-synths only" comp?

DafDuc Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yeah, mono! We could use our soft synths, right? As long as they were set up mono? Daf I played in an 8 piece horn band.
