does anybody else find it slightly disturbing that rdj is into snake oil audiophile crap more than he seems to be into actual music composing these days? the last 3 interviews ive read of him are rants on why he loves analog and thinks digital is shit. Give that shit a rest already. I love you richard, but honestly just make good music and shut the fuck up.

 

for some reason its like shoving a white hot needle in my eye when i hear people talking about how much sound cards color the sound of something. Its just the most rediculous and pointless thing to focus on, eventually in time digital will be able to emulate any analog equipment with ease, when this time comes then i will be free of painful analog vs digital talk.

well, you cant blame AfX for being passionate about his instruments, i wonder if there are some released recordings he did with that huge gx1 synth, sounds pretty special & as i like 70s synth sounds & organ music (btw check the SPIRE cds on touch) i just wonder what afx did with it/hope its better than those clips taken from the abba old organ:

PS whilst I would never say something as gauche as "analogue is better than digital", there's more than just the science behind preferring analogue - its an outlook on life in general. If that sounds pretentious, then guilty as charged.

its not just pretentious it's snake oil propaganda regurgitation

so is this his personal space?

Lol. All the people commenting think its actually him.

at one point i tried to go through and friend all the aphex myspaces... still have a little blurb on my profile instructing any aphex twin myspace clones to friend me.

that particular one looked most real out of any. even if it isn't, the proprietor of that one puts in more effort than most. the photos change reguarly, and although i've seen most on the web, there are often ones that are new to me.

yeah man, i must say it looks genuine

that myspace page has a more digital-sounding version of Canticle Drawl on it (as in, not recorded from vinyl).

it's probably low quality so it doesn't take forever to download, sir

it's not due to low bitrate, I don't think

best quote from the Analogue Heaven posts (if you've read them)

I played Speedcore at my money plant for 3 hours and it turned into a triffid

i should read through those again sometime.

Interesting reading...

Richard.

lol

theres more posts in that same thread the OP quoted of richard talking about some tracks on analord

do you have that?

he says something about the tuning on one of the tracks

I read some of his analouge heaven posts, good stuff. The guy knows way too much about synths, disses everything in a playful manner, but i got my suspicions confirmed that he knows his way around keyboards, with aftertouch and chord talk

i wonder...

be great if he did a track that was JUST GX-1, like a GX-1 *solo* or something!

what are these analogue heaven posts? someone link

Being lucky enough to have one I have to tell you that you are wrong

twice,there is a sequencer on the gx1!! I haven't read about it anywhere

else so now you know .

And you can actually change the parameters really easily while the

cartridges are plugged in!

Just stick up a list of all the parameters against numbers by your gx1

Then just adjust each one as required with a screwdriver.

If you select patch 10 on each of the synths then the cartridges at the

front can be reached easily ,after awhile you learn the numbers easily

like pwm is number 14 etc

Then you are programming the presets directly and do not need the tone

board or the programmer,decent.

 

You can feed any of the drum instruments to trigger the solo synth!

E.g every time the kick drum sounds or the Hihat etc the solo synth can

be triggered which actually gives you untold pattern possibilities if

you combine the drum pattern selectors.

 

Then you can either manually play the key you want with it being

triggered in sync.

Or just let it trigger automatically.

Also the same drum instrument pattern is fed into a s/h which in turn

can randomly select the pitch of the solo synth and the cut off

frequency of both filters, with varying amounts ,sliders for each.

Instant acid and from the 70`s!

if only keith emerson has used it this way!

Instead of that fanfare for the common prick stuff.

Dance music history would have been completely different

**smile**

NOW we know how he made "GX-1 Solo"!!

ET: just do a search for "panflet". that's his username
